Wow, I reached day 4...
In my previous post, I said something about the hive/steemit conflict (what should I call it?).
Most of the time, when I want to write something, I think who cares? why should I write it? Though sometimes the answers is: then just don't write it, but I this time, I'm thinking: If no one cares, then why not write it?
I was thinking about a right photo for this post that this pic came to my mind. About two years ago when my bike got punctured and I wanted to fix it. How should we decide to fix something or leave it behind? Steemit wasn't good but was it beyond fixing? I don't know.
Next question is what makes Hive better than Steemit? Why did steemit become so centralized in the first place? and how are we going to prevent this from happening in the Hive? (if it's not already)
Was the problem Justin Sun or the system that gave him that much power?
Did the developers changed the code so no one will be able to have that much power to control the system or did they just blacklisted Justin Sun to do what they wanted and take control of the system?
After few post, I realize that Hive is much more active than steemit, but the centralization doesn't look very different. So I assumed that the problem was not the system that gave the owner so much power, the problem was the owner and we wanted him gone.
About forty years ago, when people changed the system in my country, Iran, everyone was happy. But they didn't realized that the system was not changed that much, just the people in charge had been changed. Before the revolution, Mullahs were accepted and popular by both people and the system, but they didn't have the power. And they thought they could do better than Shah and other people in charge back then. So they started the telling people about the cruelty of the Shah, and after several years (so much happened in those several years, but I don't have the time or information to go through those) the revolution happened. Now after forty years, Mullahs are hated by so many people (maybe not most of the people yet).
Because they spent their popularity for the revolution. Same thing might happen to the creators of the Hive.
All photos are taken by me, except noted.
