The main challenge in Decidim’s democratic quality is the power gap between admins and participants, since admins control when spaces open. This limits democracy to managed contexts. A solution is enabling participants to self-activate spaces or components. For example, giving each participant-profile a default blog where users can post, follow, and comment. Such features would foster self-organized participation, reducing dependence on administrators.

Hi Antti

Regarding the accusation you are making:

Decidim is largely dicated by forces that only sign a specific political ideology and want to silence all the voices that think differently.

Being a technopolitical project is a foundational principle of Decidim. Your pretended non-political vision is also a political position and its opposite to the foundational values of Decidim.

A community is formed around a shared common vision. While there is always room for internal disagreement and different perspectives—and you have certainly expressed yours—the community is built on a minimum set of shared values. So, if you have always been able to express your opinion, why are you accusing the project of silencing voices? I feel like your intention is to damage the project's reputation.

The question I asked myself is: What is the reason of being in a community when you don't share the foundational values? It's like joining a vegan community pretending to convince them that they should eat meat.
