PolkaWorld Hits Pause as Founder Faults Polkadot Governance Change

PolkaWorld, a prominent community on the Polkadot network, has suspended operations after its funding proposal was overwhelmingly rejected by the community. The proposal requested funds to cover operational and maintenance costs, but with 93.3% of the votes against it, the community had to halt its operations. Members of the community criticized the new open governance structure implemented on Polkadot, called "OpenGov," and expressed a desire to reinstate the previous council system.
