Synapse doesn’t vote independently on this proposal topic. They follow CodeGov and the reviewers for CodeGov reached consensus that this proposal met all the criteria. I follow the CodeGov neuron with my personal neuron on this proposal topic.
It should be noted that every known neuron with a hint of credibility on this topic voted to ADOPT this proposal except DFINITY, who did not provide an explanation for their REJECT vote. The reason is still unknown. They want clarification on some details in the proposal, which I understand is being discussed. I’m sure we will see a re-submission once the details are clarified to their satisfaction. Almost all other known neurons voted to REJECT because they follow DFINITY on this topic.
You created synapse neuron, so its not “they” it becomes “us” when you say it
The first page of named neurons did not vote at all, except synapse. I think others can judge the credibility themselves when they are presented with full context and not cherry picked data
You can spin it however you want, but the fact is that our voting members make the decisions on who we follow. This is explained on our website at synapse.vote. I agree that I was the person who organized everyone when the known neuron was founded and I have held an administrative role ever since. Hence, I recruit new members as needed and track voting to make sure the neuron always votes. If you think that means I control everyone, then I can’t help you. You are certainly welcome to ask any of our voting members if they are being controlled in any way. You can even track individual votes of our voting members since a requirement is that their neuron IDs are Public and we publish them on our website. Anyone who does this would know that we do not vote together and the Synapse vote is always cast according to the majority decision of our Followees. Anyway, if this setup is unacceptable to you, then you definitely should not follow the Synapse neuron. Nobody from Synapse has ever asked for your follow and you are certainly free to choose anyone else you want to follow.
You are kind of showing your lack of knowledge of how the known neurons are displayed. It makes no difference that the first page had all no votes except Synapse. I already explained that these neurons are following DFINITY. My point was that there are many neurons that care about technical topics like this one and vote independently. They have different levels of credibility on this specific topic, but they are all credible. My screen capture was cherry picked to show how these credible neurons voted.
Hey @volibear you created your identity only 5 days ago, but seem to have some historical knowledge and an agenda. Do you mind sharing who you are more commonly known to be in this ecosystem? Did you create a new identity because your old identity was suspended on the forum for not being able to comply with the forum rules? It would be nice to know who we are talking to here.
Anyways Waterneuron team trying to sneak in 84 nodes and the inherently centralized dapp design is still a risk to the network, which is the topic of this thread
I would like to see this happen. Apparently the Water neuron grant recipients do not want this to happen. Hopefully this discussion doesn’t get derailed again..
Or even better as he is fighting for more scrutiny on sns projects he voted in wtn to approve a sns project that most likely should be rejected until development is further along.
