Don’t get me wrong, they are great for what they do but anything short of speaking up just speaks to their approval of HF21. Prolific Curie curators have spoken up of course but as a larger entity it is politically useless.
I think this article sums it up with conflict of interest. I don’t think there is a consensus with the actors of Curie, nor do I think the mediation system exists internally in order to leverage it’s power over the community. Even if it did, we are dealing with a more or less apolitical entity designed to foster engagement within an array of strict parameters. The way I see it, Curie is poised to let history happened to it as opposed to taking charge of its own destiny.
Also, there is so much wrong with the premise of Steemit. These top witnesses own a large sum of their votes to how many inactive users who didn’t bother downvoting before they abandoned the platform? The whole idea that users get to manifest the reality we want to see is all falling apart.
There is a silver lining. All the time we spent here we became better communicators and more tech and financially savvy. We can bring our business elsewhere if needed. If we keep fighting for our decentralized ideal, we are going somewhere. There are times like these where the destination is less obvious but if we believe in each other and fight for our ideals, we simply cannot be brought down.
It hurts to have build a home and to feel its foundations shaking but thankfully there are many great things IRL to keep us distracted while we wait for some real opportunities.
Hmm... I get your point. I saw a post about making the witness vote have to renew before forks can occur. so we all have XXX days to check/change our votes, and then they can do a fork.
I wonder how many good posts will be here to curie if all if this is true.

In other words, we have our ear to the ground (learned from quite a few mistakes already) and that does feel awesome.
