This topic seems to have been quite prescient given CF’s more recent actions to hand pick all the Catalyst fund 13 winners:
- Cardano Foundation’s Project Catalyst F13 Proposal Selection
- Do we control Cardano now?? - X Space link
A note for new users reading this topic:
Cardano Foundation (CF) runs this social media platform and in this topic I have been questioning and criticising CF’s actions.
It is important to realise that there are other community members who are too afraid to voice concerns about CF because they fear that CF might use its power against them. Whether these people are tool building pool operators seeking to attract CF delegation, or people with Catalyst ideas hoping to gain CF’s voting favour, doesn’t matter. The point is that CF’s actions are having a negative effect on culture within the community. Moreover, don’t assume the lack of commentators on this topic is a true reflection of community sentiment.
A question for CF:
Does CF intend to foster a centralised control structure where players must gain favour with CF employees in order to stand a chance of success?
