RE: An Important P.S.A. For Steemians by @thedamus
What's to stop the community from hard forking Steem and making a our own site?

I don't think that would be worthwhile to be honest. The steem blockchain has potential. It just needs to be extracted from underneath the layers of disarray that have obscured that potential.
This site is currently the face of the steem blockchain. It should not be in beta nearly two years after its inception. The roll out of SMTs may perhaps steer the market's attention elsewhere, and that may ultimately be Steemit Inc's intent in focusing on SMTs instead of addressing the foundational issues of this platform.
If that is the case then it is unfortunate, because a house can't be held up on a weak foundation. Steemit can be better than it is today, in my view. And SMTs and everything else built on the blockchain would be better for it. Even Dan Larimer has implied that in its present iteration the blockchain's rewards distribution mechanism isn't sustainable.
Well there was a hard fork called golos.io
