There have been reports that the Core team has devolved into a complete Authoritarian state where open discussion is shut down and only @stse@lij has a say in what is even considered for moving forward as a blockchain; if we are to survive as a network, the manner in which decisions are made and what is considered needs to be a collaborative and open process, which it has not been in any way.
This is not what anyone signed up for, I would echo the requests of others from the post here:
and would say that rather than asking anyone to step down, leadership and decision making needs immediate restructuring to avoid the major authoritative problems which it is causing.
BUT as stated, If someone is failing in their role as a leader and thereâs no structures in place to stop them from continuing to fail us, we all suffer.
Blockchain technology is about decentralization of authority and what is happening currently is a complete failure to actualize upon the dream which everyone in this community is here for.
So I am calling for a vote to begin a process of reworking how our core team makes decisions and accepts feedback; because honestly they are failing us.
Core Team Leadership should be reworked to REQUIRE open discussion.
You guys seriously believe Stephen Tse gives a damn about a poll or vote?
You want Stephen Tse out? Then every single Harmony Core team member needs to boycott.
Core team members need to be the oneâs to lead and take charge for what they believe in.
Stephen and Li can only take control and be a dictator over people who LET THEM be a dictator.
I respect what you are all trying to do but you are doing it because you believe in what Stephen has said in the past. Harmony wants to be âdecentralizedâ
You are the oneâs who should be leading the pack!
What do you have to lose by standing up anyways? The chain will be a ghost town in less than 5 months at this pace?
If you truly believe you have what it takes to land a job elsewhere. Then stand up for what is right and do something about it! If nothing changes, go to another job! Start from scratch and we will follow you.
So you want change but no one step down?
So you are ok with Li and Stephen still on the core team?
Doesnât make logical sense.
This is a business. You have to get rid of the problem. Not shuffle people around!
This should have been done as soon as Blue Apes popped up on the screen.
No disrespect at all Edd. I think you are doing the best you can with what you have to work with.
Besides Harmony core team members standing together threatening to quit. I donât see either of them changing positions.
I hope you do make it happen. The community will be better off no doubt!
As I said, thatâs my opinion; they started/ran a blockchain and figured out how to hire the right people to build it and make it happen; and in doing so have had to become informed in the field of blockchain.
If you want to try to get them to step down, live your dream, but in my opinion that isnât viable.
They helped create this network and are in a position of authority with how itâs operated currently, that needs to change.
Asking them to step down didnât work, I can see a way that they can stay on the team in some way but the network/community needs to be able to respond to the fact that their leadership has become a problem for the networkâs viability.
Ed, I do not know in which world you are living. But a chnage in leadership only happens if he steps down and will be replaced. If you expect a change from existing leaders, who havent seen such a change themselves yet, keep on dreaming. It is like a basket of apples where one apple is foul. You can talk to that apple but he wont change. You have to replace that apple that the others wont get foul too. Swiftly, quickly and permanently. If those two fellows think ONE is there baby only and they can decide, they must be proved wrong. NOW, not in the future. Trust is gone.
Regarding core team, or just anyone from the team. What would you recommend me to achieve one objective - Harmony Team answering 2 simple questions on the forum?
