I respect your choice to make the first move and I agree with your decision. Obviously selfies are nowhere near as valuable as a full-fledged post. Sure everyone may not agree with that, but most will I’m sure.
It is a good thing you have a large enough stake to be able to make a difference in the rewards. I hope this does not become a long term battle for you.
I also understand what it’s like to only have the following here on Hive, that is the same for me. I haven’t spent the time to build on all of the Web 2.0 platforms. This is something that matters to me so much, any attack on blog here would be taken very seriously.
