You say the majority of active users moved over to Hive. I always assumed it was the opposite, that only a small number of people moved over here. Certainly our community seems much smaller than it was back in the Steem days. I'd love to see official numbers on how many active users we had on Steemit and how many active users we have now. I don't know how we'd define active... maybe posting, commenting, or upvoting at least once a month.
At any rate, let's hope that mess finally fails. Maybe it will lead to our numbers here growing.
