RE: The First Ever Hive Meet Up with Old Hive Friends and Newbie Onboards Tomorrow January 24, 2025 3pm at Blackscoop Cafe
The stream of newcomers mentioning your account seems to be endless, and now it's a serious drain on the voting power of our little grassroots community. There are now newbies in the last month or two than longterm ASEAN Hivers, and that would be awesome if even half of them were making time for sustainable genuine engagement.
I have noticed an uptick in longform comments, but rarely do I see a comment that demonstrates the person took time to actually read the post. The comments are targeted towards the photos and post title mostly, and the engagement is not as sustainable levels.
Especially for newbies I recommend to critically read and leave thoughtful comments on 10 posts for every post they publish, and with this kind of behavior we can all theoretically hope to have at least ten comments on our blog posts if we all follow this. It now seems the community has kind of lost it's identity a bit to due to these changes.
My already busy job now has a few more hours each day spent muting posts that don't follow community guidelines, reminding your newbies to engage, checking for proof of brain, and I don't know how much longer I can keep it up. If resource credits are needed for commenting, that is easy because even an account with only 500 HP could provide enough resource credits for an endless stream of people to comment and engage.
It has to be quality over quantity, that's what ASEAN Hive is built upon. At this current rate though I am going to have either close the ASEAN Hive Community or mute all the recent and incoming newbies until they show genuine engagement in another community first.
Onboarding is a good thing, but as a mentor this must be done in a sustainable way, so I encourage you to do more and perhaps consider contributing to ASEAN Hive in some way yourself. Your account is in constant power down and you haven't taken the time to build up any HIVE for yourself, also not a good model to follow for newbies.
Sorry for my rant, but I don't earn any extra income for all this added work that I now have. It would be awesome if this endless stream of newbies were truly engaged and trying to bring value to ASEAN Hive to benefit everyone as a whole.
Thanks so much for addressing me this concern @asean.hive I will make sure to inform them back again about this matter.Everyday I keep reminding them that every after post they should give 5 engagement and I think I will need to remind them again everyday to make it 10 genuine engagements that they should read the post first before giving a comment.Also I encourage them to power up which is also included in our discussion also the contributing delegation to Asean Hive community.I will make it up all of this and I hope that they will follow my everyday advice...I am very open for your recommendations for the community and as well as the newbie Hiver's to grow.
Another thing also that newbies limitted engagement is because of their limitted resource credits when they do not much have more Hive power...I am thinking of suggesting for them to lease or buy Hive to power up and I am still figuring out if it works for a newbie to lease Hive power.
