My interest has long been the evolution in governance of the STEEM project. The purchase of STINC by @justinsunsteemit seems a bit auspicious with the timing of the new HF (with Communities) set for next week. Such a real fork (RF) is the nuclear option which Justin seemed to have become aware of between his first Twitter announcement and the dLive show with @ned.
The change supported my long time view that all stake holders wish success for the project. They just do not always agree what success means with regard to STEEM.
Nukes kept the major powers in peace during the Cold War. Perhaps the nuclear option will retain peace in the STEEM community as well. ✌️😎
there isn't a HF set for next week. If Communities are released this week or the next... it doesn't require a HF just the beta site moves to the regular Steemit.com site

Yeah just meant the timing was great with the Communities release. Two years overdue with a one week head start for @ned. 😅
@ned was so clueless about what happens on Steem that it would not surprise me if he had zero awareness that Communities were even in Beta
The one thing to thank him for is his mismanagement of STINC's stake so that only 20+% was handed off to Mr. Sun and not the original 40+.
