RE: Nine years of loss - reflections on HIVE / STEEM

in Reflections5 months ago

I'm sorry we didn't get to meet earlier on the platform as I very much enjoy your content. Happens. Besides my immediate family, some of my more meaningful human interactions happen here on the platform, where I can find like-minded people. Or people who will tolerate rants and ramblings understanding that I just needed a place to vent my frustrations. Keep doing what you do!
I would just add that I feel the same about people I used to know on the platform. Just visited the still existing account of @stevescoins, whose last post, three years ago, was about cancer pain. I also remember Steem/Hive dramas that ended long ago, heartwarming moments with the community pulling together to help one of their own. I like it when some user I used to know pops in with a quick update on their life. I think it was back on Steem when we used to say "Come for the money, stay for the community". We did. Congrats on your Hive anniversary.

So sorry for your loss. And your losses. The great thing is, our archives still linger in this place, and will continue to do so.

My older stuff was probably mostly rubbish, I think. I really should go back through my old stuff and publish a collection of what I deem to be my "greatest hits" for "newer" followers.

In the interim, I will keep writing, I will keep improving, and hopefully I'll keep meeting new people who can ramble like I do, and we can ramble at each other, whether the sky is falling, or whether it is staying in place.

The platform could end up in shambles, but I hope that the bulk of us all remain together somehow.

Losing people sucks.

Or maybe we need algorithms to show old content, push content that gets more retention thus higher revenue and reward you for your old content while also burning hive in the process. Hive don't lack audience. Sometimes what they r lacking is discovery tools.
