Lately I've been thinking about telling myself to "pause" first: stop clicking on delegated votes randomly, pause and see who really took the voting rights. Frankly, many governance tokens ultimately don't govern the protocol, but the addresses/platforms holding the most tokens. Everyone delegates their votes with one click, which is convenient, but oligarchic control can happen so smoothly.
Especially around the time of the main public chain upgrade, when everyone in the group was guessing whether to migrate, I was more interested in: if they do migrate, who makes the decision? You might think it's "community consensus," but it could just be a few large votes shifting. Anyway, I'll pause on posting emotional updates first, and look at the voting distribution and delegation concentration… after that, I'll decide whether to participate.
