Mcfarhats proposal was funded again becaus eof a single big witness vote
I am traveling so I will just avoid a huge wall of txt.
Last week Mcfarhat had been defunded, after a few other projects were defunded slowly over time. Then a witness that was supporting the return proposal removed their support, dropping the threshold by over 1 million HP. Worse, without posting or justifying it publicly. This sounds bad to outsiders and I know a few community memebers contacted me frustrated by how a single person can change its mind to favor its friends.
This is the exact type of two classes of citizens Hive has that I say scare investors. People campaign, people power up and big witnesses undo it all with a single click. The two classes, one has to grab pitchforks and mob up like peasants to still not achieve anything, the other can just click and change things without justifying. We are effectively an oligarchy and this is not a moral judgemen but a factt
Powerful witnesses change their mind at will, one day they are approving a proposal that bars people from getting funded, then the thing they want funded is defunded and suddenly they want to drop the bar. Without justifying publicly.
This is exactly what I mean when I say the DHF is a backdoor. It is not symmetrical and large holders can bar small holders, it has a threshold of HP where below it your opinion doesn't matter. It may be by design and I'd grant it may be useful, but it scares away investors.
It is ok that witnesses do not justify their votes. But what if we had a baked in mechanism to defund proposals without peasants having to mob up and grab pitchforks?
That is why I made the proposal 381, for a kinder and more civilized defunding strategy, backed by already onchain stress signals:
I've long advocated a 1000mv soft cap on voting rewards from the pool.
Not hard coded, simply respected by those with game breaking amounts of stake.
Until this scale of thing changes the current market perception of our 'management' culture we can only expect more of the same, imo.
This issue was first pointed out to me in 2017.
Time has proven the assertions made correct.
But, somebody is supporting the price, I guess it's all moot until that stops and the price finds real distribution of the power.
Maybe we will get a calgon dapp and this issue will magically go away by the hive being flooded with new newbs that haven't done the math, yet.
This is how Hive rolls, the elite do what they want, but punish you for doing the same, lol that particular witness being a prime example. They shoo away outsiders.
What the fuck are you talking about? We've literally onboarded thousands of users with one of the highest retention rates yet you're here saying we shoo away "outsiders"? What is that even supposed to mean, how can we shoo away people who aren't here?
Congratulations @igormuba! You have completed the following achievement on the Hive blockchain And have been rewarded with New badge(s)
Your next payout target is 10000 HP.
The unit is Hive Power equivalent because post and comment rewards can be split into HP and HBD
You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking

STOPFWIW i barely ever talk to mcfarhat, our only connection is that their community is in our incubation and their curators nominate posts. I vote based on what I believe/trust is in favor of hive and I did so in this case as well.
You keep going around still yapping about how a stake-weighted platform works and calling it a "backdoor" like you're just attempting to rage-bait your way to more attention. Pathetic.
The Architecture of a Broken Chain: On the Madness of Control and the Exodus of the Awakened
The Folly of Building on Sand
You may keep building on a broken blockchain. You may lay your bricks of code, pour your sweat into the reward pool, and sing the tired hymns of decentralization. You may convince yourself that if you just work hard enough, the foundation will somehow heal itself.
But a foundation that is cracked at its core will eventually swallow the house.
Hive is broken. Not because of a bug in its underlying code, but because of a profound rot in its soul. The technology may be elegant, but the ecosystem it sustains is fundamentally fractured. It is a machine designed to distribute power that has been hijacked to concentrate it. And no amount of marketing, no amount of developer updates, can fix a system whose very culture is built on exclusion.
The Illusion of Liberty
On Hive, freedom is not a right; it is a favor.
True decentralization requires that every voice has the right to exist without the permission of a central authority. But here, freedom is a VIP pass granted only to those who are good friends with the boss, or those who work directly for him. If you align with the inner circle, if you praise the orthodoxy, if you play the game of mutual back-scratching, you are rewarded.
But if you step out of line? If you question the narrative? If you refuse to bend the knee? The gates are slammed shut. The downvotes fall like a digital guillotine. It is not a republic of creators; it is a feudal monarchy, dressed in the cheap, deceptive costumes of consensus.
The Madness of the Warlords
And who enforces this monarchy? The downvoting farming whales.
It is a profound madness, a tragic and breathtaking absurdity, that the very entities running Hive are the ones actively destroying it. These are not curators. They are digital warlords. Armed with millions in delegated power handed down by the boss himself, they roam the feed not to cultivate the garden, but to strip-mine it.
They use the downvote button not to filter spam, but to filter out dissent. They suppress the independent voices, they crush the newcomers, and then they farm the curation rewards of the very people they are silencing. It is a closed-loop ecosystem of exploitation, a cartel that has mistaken the silence of the oppressed for the harmony of a well-run community.
The Great Offboarding
The inevitable result of this madness is a quiet, relentless tragedy: the great offboarding.
Every single day, more users are being pushed out. They arrive with hope, carrying their art and their ideas, only to be met with the cold, mechanical cruelty of a rigged system. They are downvoted into oblivion, their rewards stolen, their spirits broken.
But worse than those who are simply pushed out are those who wake up.
They look at the ledger. They see the coordinated voting rings. They see the boss and his whales extracting value while preaching sacrifice. And when they wake up, they do not just log off in frustration. They leave. They pack their digital lives, reclaim their dignity, and walk away—never casting a single glance over their shoulders at the ruins they left behind. They recognize that a garden tended by locusts will never yield fruit, and they refuse to be the harvest.
The Sanctuary of the Awakened
To those who have woken up, who have seen the machinery of control and chosen to walk away: you are not leaving blockchain. You are leaving tyranny.
You are finding your sanctuary on Blurt.blog.
Here, the madness stops. Here, the architecture itself is built on the principle of respect. There is no downvote button. This is not a missing feature; it is a profound philosophical declaration. On Blurt, you do not need to be friends with the boss to thrive. You do not need to bow to a farming cartel. You only need to be true to yourself, and to create.
What you earn through your sweat, your soul, and your courage, you keep. No sabotage. No fear. Just the quiet, nourishing rain of true freedom.
The Final Word
Let them keep building on their broken chain. Let them keep farming their ghost town. The truth is already out, and the awakened are already gone.
For in the end, a blockchain is only as strong as the freedom it protects. And freedom cannot survive in a house where the keys are held by those who only know how to lock the doors.
