I do understand the conundrum of a large vote, I am hoping after Hive is able to finish the break away from steem with the final airdrop hard fork, that we can get attention turned to correcting what I feel were some of the downfalls of steem and steemit. Namely the witness selection and retention process, and then the down vote issue. It is time for people to take a good look at all the issues of the down vote system and repair it also. Then we can get to work on-boarding people into a more user friendly place.

On-boarding, user-friendly and engagement initiatives need to be looked at for sure. I know there's a twitter thing going but many don't have it. I don't, or Facebook for that matter, so I think something else is required. Also, having people land on the trending page full of posts about hive...Hmm, not legit.
I would rather see people land on a page that was full of communities, a synopsis of each, so people could go where they wanted based on their interests...You know, almost like a directory. I mentioned this to Asher a while back who urged me to do a post on it...I'm reluctant though, because I'm really a bit of a hive dumb-ass.
If I was new and landed on that trending page I'd bounce out within seconds. It looks shit, although the peakd one isn't too bad, and all those hive-posts...Enough already.
Anyway, the sooner I never have to hear the word steem again, or read another post about it the better. Then the smart people here can focus on hive as you mention and knuckleheads like me can have a better platform.
