Thanks for sharing your thoughts about anonymous posting.
The @proofofblind project is not currently active, because the students who originally started the project have moved on to other things, and it is at present a time-intensive process. However, the mechanics could be automated. I still believe it has merit.
While the project was active, the students made numerous attempts to boost participation, but none of their efforts yielded significant results.
The project suffers from a major inherent flaw -- the people who can most benefit from the project (newbies to Hive) have no way of knowing about the project.
One way to fix this, I suppose, was that if one or two whale accounts were aggressively upvoting Proof of Blind content, then @proofofblind would be showing up at the top of the trending list, so newcomers would quickly see those posts and the link for submitting their own original content.
So, in summary, one or ore whale sponsors is probably needed to make it viable.
Too sad that it is no longer active. I really liked the idea of the project, but, yes, you are right, without the support of some whales it is difficult for it to prosper. Greetings and thanks for stopping by!
