These days, I've been organizing proposals and urging votes again, seeing a bunch of people delegate their votes and think that's "participating in governance." Actually, delegation itself isn't wrong; many are busy. But in the end, it turns into just a few big accounts making decisions, and governance tokens are said to be "everyone's," which, frankly, is more like governing those of us who are too busy: we just hand over the power and wait for the results.
Before major upgrades or maintenance on mainstream public chains, everyone in the group is guessing whether projects will migrate. I see governance discussions are similar—lively, but ultimately, the key votes are still decided by just a few. Anyway, I'm still doing reconciliation and reminder chores; what I can do is make information transparent and run the process smoothly... As for "decentralizing power," I don't even know which vote to start counting from.
