I've read inklings here or there, but nothing that borders on a public forum on a neutral platform. I couldn't find any formal polls. Seems like a lot of this took place in discords and the comments sections of disperate accounts. No offense, but if you call that public facing or an outreach, you must be a simpleton.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Well,all those post from "disperate" accounts were very visible and on the blockchain. How much more public can they get? I don't understand what you mean by "neutral platform" (what can be more neutral than the blockchain?). Please remember that steem is not a democracy so calling for polls is naive. Here stake is king, both for determining what gets rewarded and when voting for witnesses that approve changes to the protocol. It is what it is wether we like it or not. I am just being realistic if you view that as being a simpleton then have a good day sir.
The process needs to be centralized on a place like reddit.com/r/steem and discussions need to be scheduled and formalized. This informal process is absolutely garbage. I'm busy creating content and it's hard bouncing around to different accounts and scanning all of the comments and knowing which ones are more important than others. No economists were consulted as far as I can tell. No data was presented. Informal polls are not scientific. I don't care if it isn't a pure democracy, what I want is competence.
I was going to respond in a snarky manner to your proposal about using reddit to discuss matters that pertain only to steem stakeholders but that would not be productive. I have no objections regarding the points you make about the abscence of a formal structure to discuss changes that affect all steem users.
Tokenbb forums could be used to make the proposals and highlight them on different frontends so that all steem users can have easy access to the discussion.
Ha! Snark is always delicious. :)
