Well, in a way top 20 witnesses run things, which can be shuffled easily as we saw it recently. Others can say anything, but if you don't have a big stake - no matter what you have to offer for Steem ecosystem you will probably be ignored - but it is fine, it's all real life and reflection of it here.
how can you accept that position? how can you say ned breaking promises is 'ok'? t what point are you frustrated that our leadership here is completely lacking any interaction with the community... and in fact fears it, possibly hates it...
I never stated that I am okay with that, but I can understand it. Many projects are stalled, abandoned or failed because they counted on delivery of hivemind/communities/SMT... but delays happen all the time.
As a professional astrophysicist, I am waiting for James Webb ST for almost all my career - you always have some drawbacks and hiccups in the game changing projects - it wouldn't be normal without it.
There should have been communication from Ned's side before everything that followed... but taking over someone's property is a big NO - no matter what happens... if they are not satisfied with it, why they don't make it better instead of threating and forking out people. Aren't blockchain here to improve security and avoid paying so much taxes to the banks?
if ned ignores the witnesses... then we have no representation.
when has there been communication ever? when i first got here, one of the things i found interesting was that ned apparently scrubbed his history from steemit database!
so basically he violated the permanent record that i thought steemit was suppose to be if he could do that.
at the time, which was a while ago, it seemed legit, you can correct me if i'm wrong.
your right klevn, it's surprising how hostile people are to their own democratic rights... clearly this has never happened on steem nor will it ever be the case.
just like real life! crazy how it seems to mirror it.
Steemit and steem are not the same thing. Everything anyone has ever done, including ned, is still available on STEEM, that can not be scrubbed. The permanent record is not violated.
