Like the fair reflection on this post but I have noticed more engagement here on Hive compared to the 2 years I was on Steem, which is great.
The ugly point you make is far less on Hive now that it was on steem I believe but it's only 1 month in and still so much core development going on to get the underlying fundamentals of smooth "OS" is going to take time. That kind of behaviour seems to be a dying breed as there are teams dedicated to stamping out spam and plagiarism.
If this kind of thing continues in 6 months time then something is seriously wrong but I think it's part of shaking out old habits as Hive moves in a different direction.
Content discovery will improve but think we all need tui give ideas on how to improve it and it will come. Again, patience is needed as the fundamental blockchain technology is made smooth and efficient. Now it's probably the best time to gather ideas and present them so we can all discuss with the devs about how to implement the changes we'd like to see.
Such a valuable comment. Thank you!
And yes:
Too early, I know. Six months are great. In fact, the recent AMA has installed confidence in me - and I really think the platform is moving in the right direction.
As you said:
Yeah I'm with you there, it's starting from scratch but with a new lick of paint IMO and there's a dedicated team of developers. The dust is settling a bit more with regards to the hard fork and I think the two chains will be completely different in 3-6 months time.
I'm just powering down what I bought in case of worst case scenario on Steem, so getting 22k back. After that, will check back on my goals 😃
