The only difference between Steem and Hive is the governance model. On STEEM, it's a dictatorship model, proven to work, it's essentially the way most companies operate today.
On Hive, it's technically similar to the pirate game. I would also like to believe it's a democracy, or at least an oligarchy, but if the witnesses ultimately decides who gets coins or not (i.e. no respect of the sanctity of private proterty), it's clearly a pirate/mafia game.
I think the dictatorship model can lead better results overall, as long as the dictator is benevolent. At least the system can be stable and create value. In the other model, what I predict we will see is more forks, more coin-wipes, more legal conflicts between users, more hacked accounts, and ultimately more community splits.
Well I would absolutly aggree that the governance over here might have other lacks.. Might be, I am not the one who has the big overview.
But I notice a long time ago, that steem has cartel structures. And at the beginning most people were not sure. But dude, Dictatorship is better? Come on, I would not say so. Absolut free space might have the 'bug' of pirating. But if so, I think free space is better then dictator ship. But well, we both can have two different opinions. Thats ok, no, thats great.
Lets remember the steemit (and hive) whitepaper. Do you member it says, the governance is democracy hybrid holacracy? So steem itself is not fallowing its OWN whitepaper... Mhhh 🤔, strange, isnt it?
If hive is that free space and it may be not THE solution of governance, its more fallowing the whitepaper then steem does! Think about it.
I can understand your skepticism. But pls stop offend over here and lets try to find THE REAL Solution! 😉
This is called politics, my friend.
Don't you mean four forks? There are also Whaleshares and Golos.
This is absolutly ok. But that means that we both have a big gap between our political opinions.
Nevertheless I would say: lets stop blaming each other. That would be a favour for both parties and would not be that exausting 😏
You know thats the cool thing about our days platform technologies: we can have our seperate communities.
Thats why forks are important in an open source and free world
