What do you mean by removing upvote policy as well? Does that mean we do not have any voting for steem level? If it were the case, how do we distribute rewards?
The implementation of the soft fork (which is reversible) went through AFTER he announced his “token swap” plan, as a defense till things are crystal clear.
Do you even realize that most likely you would be holding TRX now instead of STEEM?

And now you have a group of people who support him. Maybe instead of introducing preventative censorship, you should have talked to the users that the witnesses officially represent?

For the average network user, it does not matter what the network is called, but how it will work. Will the network on Tron be better or worse than Steem? I don't know. But Steem is not a perfect project and never will be (because it doesn't even try).
It's just a pure political system. If you don't go to elections in your country, why do you vote for Witness, who are politicians and make decisions for you? It's possible that, like all of us, you have zero influence on the network.
Do you even know what Tron network is? A casino. That’s what it is. Do you really think that those thousands of users that are against him and his methods wanna hurt Steem or their investments?
Wrong. Justin Sun did it by publicly announcing he was going to dismantle the blockchain. He said he was going to destroy it. I still believe he meant it.
And yet there are people who liked these changes. Maybe there should finally be some debate? Unless there's always a "master" ruling the "plebs" and it's not worth talking about.
How many people liked the idea of the chain being destroyed?

Look, if Steem were to be dismantled and the code ported to the Tron blockchain as a set of smart contracts, then none of use would have any power over anything. Because the Tron foundation has complete control over Tron blockchain, we'd be at the complete mercy of Justin Sun. That if anything is master ruling over plebs if anything. Is that what you really want? Because that's what you get if you stab the community in the back by voting for Justin Sun who is trying to turn Steem into a centralized network.
Some time ago I suggested switching to Proof of Stake to increase decentralization and prevent such attacks. Nothing has been done. Even a proposal was to change TOP20 to TOP100 (which would also make this kind of attack impossible).
You know why?
Because nobody cares about decentralization. The point is to be in TOP 20 witnesses, to make money.

It means no STEEM reward pool, but SMTs only.
The STEEM "rewards" would only then be from witnesses and from inflation in our SP. Currently, we all gain 2.x% for having SP.
I see. Interesting idea.
Thank you for the info!
Too late. The Witnesses compromised the system by trying to block people's funds.
Now let's imagine that Coinbase is introducing Steem. How can they be sure that Witness won't vote to freeze their accounts?
If they are going to act the same way Binance , Poloniex and Huobi did, they better not list Steem at all...
LOL. The Witnesses wanted to activate the soft fork preventively. They created this whole problem.
Unfortunately, users have most problems created by witnesses.

I quit trying...you obviously don’t understand
It could be a casino platform. I don't use Tron and I don't know. But they also have a video and file sharing platform.
Steem has cards (Steem Monsters) and writing entries for money.
I am neutral. Both roads have their pros and cons. You can have your thoughts and that's it.
Doesn't Steem have that? :)

But the proxy.token has an opinion.

And here, the Witnesses have all the power over everything.

DPoS was chose because of its better scalability.
But I think you have a better chance of getting more people on board with your initiative to increase decentralization now.
It's possible. But the situation is like a plane crash. The fixes are only after people die.
