I think what you're doing and what I'm trying to do is the best that can be done and I do think it ultimately works. If you think something is a bad idea, call it out and say why. Propose better solutions or introduce alternate paths etc.
I think that idea really harms the main thing that draws people here. I think there are a TON of ways we can improve on this system that will make this whole thing work better. For those 4 years that were referred to, there's been almost no progress or innovation on the layer that matters the most for prosperity for a social blockchain, the application layer, you know, the one ALL the users actually interact with. So saying it doesn't work when it JUST made the first significant change in years doesn't make sense to me. Also that change was only the beginning and now we've had a wrench thrown in the progress because the brains behind the whole thing all left their posts at STINC(with good reason of course).
So now we've got this cool but incomplete feature with nobody at the helm taking it to the final destination. To me, that's a good area to focus on some problem solving instead of changing the whole system.
