I'm curious about what @steemed-open's been doing. It's five years already since she hasn't been active at all. We used to have some stuff in common and interact a lot.
I get your brother though... Dunno if I could ditch Hive entirely, although probably if I had a normal life I'd be way less active than I currently am.
I've never heard of that account to mention but maybe she's living a fulfilling and happy life and has no need or desire to be on Hive; I hope so anyway.
On leaving Hive...I think if something compelling enough comes along most people would leave it without question. It comes down to priorities I suppose.
