If a post is about creating a dividing line then that post should be down voted. Dividing lines are the province of Centralized Authority, not of Decentralization. Example: You used crayons so it is not art, art is using oil paints only. That is a divisive statement, it is dividing and demeaning, the person that created a stunning rendition of a natural scene from nature with crayons.
2nd layer tokens are centralized. They are created by an individual, they cost money to create, and they are controlled by the person that created them. As far as I know there is no method in place to create a decentralized token in the second layer. You could get a group of people to do it and call it decentralized but it still would not be, the group would still control the token.
So, that's your red line in the sand?
I do not down vote except for plagiarism, My red line in the sand for voting for a post is that, if it is dividing/pitting people against people, it gets no vote, no follow and likely muted by me so I do not need to see them.
People can vote for what they want,the word should in this use case is not mandatory, the mandatory word is shall that removes a persons choice.
3speak and d.lux are both working on tech to be released soon that enables nearly free creation of layer 2 tokens and communities. SPK tokens will be air dropped to the entire hive community and layer 2 tokens that are created can be air dropped to whoever the creators choose. layer 2 are intended to mostly be niche tokens for niche topics. the centralisation of them is able to be determined (initially) by the token creators. if people try to come in afterwards to centralise them more than would otherwise be the case, then it will be a 'Justin Sun' situation and the community can easily be forked - creating a new one and leaving the attacker having bought a lot of tokens that now have no purpose.
you can argue that every token is centralised as long as there isn't completely equal distribution of the token, but that is not a practical and realistic definition, considering that the whole purpose of money is generally to facilitate exchange of some kind and total balance in an economic system is not likely to occur ever.
