I think your proposal through to voting has merit, and a healthy community would pass good proposals, and hopefully you don’t get to an environment where people abstain. That means something is wrong and ultimately abstain is a vote in and of itself.

Self governance could end up like mutiny on the ship (I referred to that above) but we must have some form of governance or we have anarchy.

I wish you the best on the platform. Let us all know of any lessons you learn in time.

Thank you for the encouragement! Your point about abstention being a vote itself is really insightful - we're actually planning to track that as a signal for when topics need more discussion.

I'll definitely share lessons learned. Honestly, we don't know if this will work, but current alternatives aren't working either, so worth the experiment.

Appreciate the well wishes!
