open for discussion for better economic implications.
I have studied this Steem blockchain and ecosystem for over 2 years and have an understanding of how the different parts fit together.
The macro-economics of Steem is astonishingly stable and self-correcting.
The micro-economics needs some work as the same parameters of reward curve and curation split do not affect users in the way people seem to think. That needs some work - and some thinking.
I have spoken before to a previous Steemit Inc dev - was some time ago and about how to attenuate vote-rings. It didn't come to anything then, but feel free to get in touch on Discord (same username).
The other bullet points sound like what I had envisioned happening.

OT: isn't matrix/riot a good replacement?
AFAIK, there are no good implementations of the matrix protocol yet. Everyone I've talked to says Synapse is hot garbage. I have no desire to run prototype-grade software any longer; I already spent a big chunk of my life keeping early versions of

Good article about security whenever a project actually needs to keep secrets.
Discord is just a convenient point of first contact. Actually using Tor on one project plus, as you say, pure email is not so bad and avoids chit chat.
It's not convenient. It requires that you show ID. Privacy is important for open source projects even if everything is public, because gatekeeping on identification is a form of discrimination against those that require privacy, either by preference or for safety.
It's nothing to do with whether or not a project needs to keep secrets.
