Thank you for your thoughtful reply! This definitely deserves to be a @topcomment!
One of the thoughts I've held for a while is that since this is a decentralized venue — albeit with certain limitations — it is ultimately up to us — the user base — to help shape the general Hive image. There's never going to be a "somebody" wh steps in and does it for us.
I don't write that much about Hive itself... but I do occasionally offer up a bit of commentary, kind of in the spirit of "WE have to be the change we want."
