That's the lie they keep telling you. Hive is more centralized than most governments.
There would be rules. And make them whatever people decide. But put them in written form so that everyone knows what they have to follow. The biggest problem is that currently it's just a power play. Whales can do whatever they want, as long as they don't go crazy and annoy a lot of whales or bigger ones, they can do whatever they want to regular users. And clearly, we can't have a rule that because a whale doesn't like someone, they can DV them.
