I enjoyed reading this and learning a little bit more about the history of the blockchain and about @freedom.
Are you saying that during the time of steemit, the owner of that account @freedom was the sole dictator of who got to be in, and stay in, the top 20 witness club during steemit's first interation?
I started using steemit in I believe March 2020
I had not long learnt the ropes when suddenly everything erupted in upheaval. Some Justin billionaire bambino had bought the blockchain, or something. The development team had quit. Shouts of tyrant and dictator were sounding all around. Chaotic scenes.
It was like if you were walking through your local library, looking for a blog post to read and you come across a long, quiet corridor with a door at the end. You open it and step through to find yourself in the middle of a raging bar fight
Or a medieval battle 10,000 strong
Then there was Hive
...
Anyway
I love the turn of phrase 'malicious ambitious'
And I agree with you
Time for me to revisit where my votes are going
lol, no I would not call freedom a dictator. My point simply was decentralization is a process and it keeps getting better with more distribution of influence and participation. Thank you.
Clearly there's more nuance to the situation @freedom if you're reading
I don't know anything about you as a person, I'm sure you're lovely and I didn't mean to say you personally are a dictator.
My proper meaning is the hive account. The owner of that account could decide who is and isn't in the top 20, that much is implied. Whoever is the owner of @freedom, they have that level of power in the network, even if they choose not to use it or only use it in benevolent ways.
But, if that power has been gained through the legitimate means, then there's no real problem there
See, I don't know
I'm just commenting as an ousider
But if true, it points to a wider problem in that the system allows an account with that much (too much?) power over the network, which would be a design flaw that could be remedied
P.S. I don't know how this ended up on the poshbot comment, I was trying to just reply to your post oops
I doubt freedom reads posts or comments. All stakes on Hive are legit. What I mentioned was something of the past. We are more decentralized now. Even if freedom chose to vote, those votes can be countered in decentralized fashion.
