It is really exciting to see how powerful the steem community can be and how united they can be towards keeping a decentralized system. We all are aware of what Steemit Inc did about two days ago trying to centralize our decentralized platform.
Within these two years, I've always seen steem united for a common cause despite our individual diferences. There's no social-media community as united as Steem.
After watching Justin Sun display uninformed and unethical collaboration with exchanges to upturn steem governance, the community decided to start of their action which started by a Twitter campaign to get exchanges hands-off community governance.
About 15 hours ago, @Theycallmedan made an update alongside other reputable steemians to reward users who would maximise their witness votes to get back the community witnesses to top 20 positions in the witness list. As at then, only one of the community wiitness - @Yabapmatt was ranking #1 ahead of the Justin's "anarchious" witnesses. I decided to place @Theycallmedan's screenshot 15 hours ago to the witness ranking situation as at the time of writing this post.
We can see from the image above that steem's community witnesses have already secured 10 positions among the top 20 slots. See here - https://steemitwallet.com/~witnesses.
More amazing is the fact that the community witnesses are seizing the top 10 spots as I hope @Aggroed would soon match into the tenth spot.
We expect things to reset to community decision as soon as the community all gets top 17 positions in the witnesses spots. It is possible.
I am doing my best to have voted and also sent my proxy link to my invitees, followers and community members to help secure our vote for our community witnesses.
I'm loving steem the more because of this unity and resolve to keep a decentralized social community.

I believe in steem and we'll keep building a solid community that esteem users and allows users in governance. Let's keep pushing till the community replaces the top 20 witness spots and we maintain our decentralized economy.
Our 4-years of investment should not be toppled in a few months by a "Newbie".
