As far as I know, he was trying to create a new governance model through a process called Eden. This uses something called fractal democracy. They have a website and yes it is community-driven with some funding from Block.one amongst others. Forking as Hive did could be the best option for EOS. I feel @dan left because with the founder's stake Block.one has had to move very slow to play nice with the SEC and dan just wants to make and try different things without seeking permission. I would love to see him contribute more to Hive like he used to do.
