Wow, this is somewhat disturbing. A few major problems for me:

1. The Core development and HBD stabilizer are unfunded. Seems a bit extreme.
2. There is zero comment as to why this vote was made - leading to mayhem and disturbance in the lives of many of the key people developing for Hive. I imagine there are many projects and people globally that will be disheartened by this.
3. Despite the often poor performance of DHF funded projects, there are some that show solid promise for helping Hive to expand in key ways - again - WTF.

Ultimately, this is a decenteralised system and we all understand that anyone can vote as they prefer. However, we also know very well that when single accounts amass centralising power, problems can arise. While there is no reason to think that Blocktrades has plans akin to Justin Sun, at the same time many people here still hold memories and effectively trauma related to that experience - so repeating anything that looks and feels like it is unwise. All it would take to improve the situation is communication.

BTW, I looked at the voters of the return proposal and notice that almost all of the larger ones are among those who sought to eliminate my account during COVID - these people clearly are not aligned with the intent for free speech and community growth that draws so many to Hive in the first place.
