View submission: The next phase for Donuts

Couldn't we have voted to take such an important decision??

Users are worried about the distribution of donuts and voter turnout is really bad. The one or two users with huge amounts of donuts could of just voted no to continue the plutocracy.

How will we be able to determine that the community is confident without a binding voting mechanism to begin with?

The keyword here is *binding*, we can still look at the polls and make decisions based on those, but do you think that these governance polls of a subreddit of 200,000+ should be binding? We've never had a governance poll with more than 385 accounts (not individuals) show up.

extremely ironic that our voting system is suddenly made null

Not *null,* just not *binding.*

Obviously if there is community kickback to something, then something will happen. We aren't all going to sit around and watch this place collapse.

If it works, let's keep it, if it doesn't, let's use something else.

I implore you to think of that differently. The unofficial motto of Ethereum is "move fast and break things." Do you really want to give up on an amazing experiment and revolutionary idea just because it doesn't work perfectly the first time?
