Hummm! I don't have much to say after reading this, but I salute people who have been here for long enough, who have built many connections, and shared wonderful and valuable content. Content that added values to many secretly. I wished I knew Hive before now.
I am glad I have come to know this great platform. Values are what defines great gathering, and this content is of great value. I am even reminded of my life off the chain; the people I used to know years back, the people I wished to hear from them at least once again, but they.. they are gone. Never to be seen nor heard from anymore.
A perfect reminder that someday in the future, all of us, will be silent and never to be heard again. But still we will live on; not with interactions, but in a perfect remembrance of the values we left behind, and in the heart of many who valued our work.
I appreciate this content.
The quiet value is in the hundreds of posts that make below than average rewards, but have a loyal, focused following that generates really deep discussion and insightful comments.
You are so right that this feeling of loss is not just on hive, but also of former colleagues, former friends, and the people who flowed out of our social circles.
I still think of many people in those situations as well, and think of them fondly.
They're still around, I could probably find them if I tried, but would they want me to? Perhaps they feel the same way about you and me, too, those lost "souls"
