As someone who's come back to Hive after a while, I agree with a lot here. While Hive still gets a lot right compared to lots of other blockchains/social media platforms, the idea of users getting a bigger say in how things are done/how resources are distributed solely because they have a bigger balance has always been something that's concerned me about PoS and systems like it. That being said, the fact that a post like this has even made its way across my feed and not been downvoted into obscurity is proof enough to me that all is not lost and things still have the potential to change for the better. Otherwise there wouldn't be much of a point in making a post to talk about it, would there?

I have been absent for a few years before I returned so I don't have the most informed perspective with which to make any sort of suggestions, but I will say that I returned to find a good portion of this community still active, still doing good things both on and off-chain and doing what they can to make this place better and show that it still has the potential to be so. That alone makes it worth sticking around for the time being, at least for me.
