I have only been on Hive for a short time and so far I have not been as active as I would have liked to be.
I have not even tried to explore the multitude of communities that the platform has, because for a simple matter of time, I could not attend them. I am subscribed to only a few, most of them with a literary profile, which is what I like to do the most.
I came to your writings on the recommendation of a friend. At first, I hesitated to get involved because of the barrier that, for me, English means. But I like to reflect on various topics, read opinions of other users and share my point of view. After a while (just reading with the help of the translator) the weekend topics motivated me to get directly involved. I have no regrets, the experience has been interesting and fun.
I think that the comment is the feedback that the author of the post needs to feel that his message reached the readers. I am saddened by posts that do not receive a single comment (I accept my share of the blame) I may be included in the category of your “forgettable” commenters but, I attest that I have always done so motivated by the topic the post is about, and frequently, when my opinion differs to some degree.
There are also polite comments that I feel necessary to make.
I admit that on occasion I may have commented without leaving my vote. Sometimes I get carried away by the little monetary value it has and forget its value as recognition of the author's work.
I didn't know someone suggested you check out my posts, that's nice. I also think it's good that you've been motivated/inspired to be a little more active and interested in people's posts than you would have otherwise because if the weekend-engagement. That's what it's for.
You make some good points and yeah, so many get no comments...I see that too but a lot of times I check their accounts and I see that they make no comments to others so usually they have themselves to blame. It's a two way street.
With your vote...use it now matter the monetary value of it as it's just an endorsement, positive reinforcement, on the post you leave it on. It has value of a different nature.
Thanks for commenting.
