RE: The First Ever Hive Meet Up with Old Hive Friends and Newbie Onboards Tomorrow January 24, 2025 3pm at Blackscoop Cafe

Please encourage all the newcomers you're onboarding to read the ASEAN Hive Community rules before posting and to demonstrate some longform engagement that demonstrates they're taking the time to read the posts of others.

The overwhelming majority are demonstrating little to no engagement, and the ones that are engaging are merely commenting on photos or saying nice post. The amount of newbies in ASEAN Hive is now bigger than the longterm members who work hard to keep the community sustainable.

Half of the people you've onboarded will probably be muted soon because the drop in engagement is negatively affecting the community. Also, our limited grassroots HP is stretched thin. I notice you've never bothered to build up any HP of your own to contribute to ASEAN Hive, but I would recommend it and recommend the people you're onboarding to consider supporting ASEAN Hive via genuine engagement. If everyone follows your model of constantly powering down everything you earn, it will drive down the value of HIVE. It is good to invest a little in this platform if you plan to promote it so much.

Sorry for the rant but I have spent hours each day recommending the newbies to follow rules, engage, etc., but if they're being onboarded by a veteran this shouldn't become my responsibility.
