RE: Why Was HiveBeeCon Different? .:. Late Night Blogging
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Saw your post on the recent video update about CTSB, so came over to read.
I'm passionate about the censorship resistance features of Hive and its portals - so high quality content is important. I'm thinking about content to create and then share out on legacy social media, so that others come back to read here.
Hive should be a nexus for a variety of content, but particularly reasoned commentary on the world.
The mechanisms of Hive are rather unique in encouraging thoughtfulness, civility, and cooperation.
On Twitter for instance if you and I disagreed on a political issue, the mechanisms there only reward conflict with a transitory rush of neurotransmitters.
Here we might disagree on an issue, and then in the next moment collaborate on a project we are both passionate about - because we realize we are both building on the same foundation.
Repetition seems to be the key with Hive, the more times that people see it - the easier it becomes to grasp it, and the more attractive it is. For some users of social media though they may have a painful epiphany - reacting to heated opinions is quite easy, sitting down and forming an articulation of their own thoughts, even having their own thoughts may require exercising some atrophied mental muscles.
Obviously many have become wary of crypto with the recent scandals, and the collapse of market - but I emphasize to potential users - you don't actually have to engage with the crypto portion of Hive unless you want to. Well written introductory posts are generally rewarded with enough Hive Power, that a user will have more than enough resource credits to post hundreds of articles and blogs a day, more than even the most prolific writer could even consume.
My comments are too often turning into essays - but that's what happens when I read and respond to well written enthusiastic posts. I definitely enjoy seeing the meetup posts and I'll be following your account.

Hey Edwin!
Thanks for checking out my post! Appreciate it!
I have checked out your Introduction post just to know you better before writing a reply... I hope you don't mind that... 🙂
I like your vision of HIVE, or better said, perception of HIVE... Yes, most things that you listed in the comment stand, but like in any other social media network, we also have our own "grumpy members"... Maybe you didn't bump into them, but everyone does sooner or later... But, despite that, you can build whatever you want from this place and it is a great place to meet people who think like you and with whom you can have a good long talk... Like I did IRL meetup that I was writing about in this post...
Hive has its issues, but it has its pros, and I would say that pros are much more important than cons... That's why I'm still here building and adding my grain of sand to the platform...
I have checked some of your posts and if you are seeking advice, maybe you could publish your posts in a more specific community, rather than doing it in Leofinance... I don't have anything against LF, but if you go more into the specific community, you will find more people like you... Leofinance is maybe too "broad" community and posts can be lost among others, despite being of much better quality than others...
Btw. To check out active communities, take a look at the comment section of the post that my buddy Achim posted on our Liotes project blog https://peakd.com/hive-155221/@liotes/hpwxszcr
I think that there will be new comments as people will add their favorite communities there...
Sorry for the messed up reply... 😃
All the best!
Thank you and it's much appreciated. I've been trying to make my way around to more and more communities. There's a lot to see and do and each group seem to have its own vibe and etiquette.
Definitely not a messed up reply at all!
