A cordial greeting to all of us who make life in Project Hope Community, in this publication I would like to talk about commitment, yes, that word that is necessary in every organization and project to be able to really advance, don´t you think so?.
Recently the Project Hope core team conducted an analysis of the movements of regular community users in various ways. This was possible thanks to the fact that in the Blockchain everything is registered, unalterable, and the information is easily accessible to everyone.
Well, as a result of these analyses that we have been doing for more than a month, we have noticed that in good measure many users are participating in Project Hope Community just doing publications, and it is good that they do it, but the detail that we have noticed is that there is not much commitment in stopping a few minutes to read some publication and leave a comment, something that is important for all of us who write, or don't they like to see a good comment in their publication? I find it a little hard to believe that anyone would like a publication that they have made, after 7 days and not even a comment...
There are cases of users who even publish every day, but who have not made a single comment for more than two months. To give an example...
In view of this reality, we have been talking in the central team and see how we can encourage all those who are not very concerned about others, and see that their COMMITMENT LEVEL IN BUILDING COMMUNITY HIGHLY, we came up with something from the following sentence:
The level of support could be directly proportional to your level of commitment...
It is logical, don't you think?, to support more those users who are permanently supporting others and giving value to the publications, and in turn to the community.
Well, that's an important and necessary point, we do the healing manually, there are no automations, and this will really bring us more work, however, we believe it's worth the effort, it's difficult to achieve real progress if you don't apply an additional effort, but in a way that we are all really involved, then we are willing to continue growing, and that implies changes, within those who are giving more value to all those who are in the same tune of adding value.
In the same way, we will continue working on the reduction or elimination of all those publications that go hand in hand with every indication of plagiarism, it is also a separate work, but without a doubt it is never lacking -in any area of human development-, those who want to take advantage of what they have not done and take advantage of this...
For now I say goodbye, hoping that everyone understands the point we are making as a team, that what we are looking for is simply the growth and benefit of all, but that the most benefited are those who are equally committed and willing to contribute their grain of sand in the evolution of the community.
Before finishing it is good and necessary to recognize and APPRECIATE many, that obviously we know who they are, who dedicate their time to participate actively in the publications of many users, always leaving some comment that serves as FeedBack to the author, something that for me as a Blogger is important and pleasant, for sure it is for you too.
The invitation is to collaborate among all of us, leaving a comment implies a previous reading, and at the same time it is a learning process, a kind of gift that we are giving ourselves when we know something new, and we would be surprised how far we can go with new knowledge, so let's do it.
I say goodbye, waiting for your comments and impressions about it, and of course:
Your greatest collaboration in this regard.
Have a wonderful week everyone.

I had a conversation with Piotr about this issue and I've been a culprit of this act sadly. I'm making conscious effort to ensure that I engage publications in the community at least three times daily.
Truth is, you're right, and the community won't grow without meaningful engagement and active participation.
Hello @belemo, we are not looking for culprits, not at all, just some way to encourage the participation of everyone in the community. To incorporate ourselves, to make ourselves a little stronger.
I know you have had a conversation with Piotr, but don't feel responsible for these things, in the end we are all here, we all have co-responsibility.
Good week to you.
I think we all should make more efforts to engage with other members of the community as well. I see this post as a reminder to do the needful. Thanks a lot buddy
Hello @samminator, certainly, beyond just publishing and being voted, it is not reprehensible to want votes, we all in the end want in addition to commenting on our publications, receive good votes, that is normal.
Thank you for commenting
Have a nice week.
You are totally right to point out this. I believe it's a part of the journey to engage with others. It's the basis for building relationships on this blockchain. I have the feeling somehow that it's not something that is possible to force upon people. It's so obvious when people comment because they feel they have to comment and often you can see that they didn't read your content and just put a standard comment on the posts.
I don't think this is the correct approach because it's a top down thing and I think it shouldn't be the task of project hope to enforce engagement. In such a situation the resulting engagement will be of very low quality. People comment because they have to and not because they want to.
It's the authors responsibility to make people want to comment on his posts
For me this is a very important point. It's in the authors interest that he gets interaction on his posts because this ensures that people will come back to read what he produced. There are many ways to that:
Create good interesting content
Incentivise engagement
There are many tools that we can use to incentise engagement on our tools.
If people get something in return when they comment my posts, I believe it will be much easier for them to come back and do it again.
Hello @achim03
Thank you very much for your contributions.
Yes, it's really obvious when someone makes a comment without a foundation, just to leave a comment and that's it. For complying, as it were.
However, you can see other comments that are really in tune with the post, and that add value, this is certainly important to keep in mind.
The tools you are talking about are very valid. Writing topics that could be interesting for the majority, allows you to have a flow of users that would like to read you. It is normal and logical. In my case, it happens with you and your publications, you always share valuable content to the platform, and you also raise it in an understandable way. This is something that should be emphasized, that among so much information, we can choose among the topics of our preference.
Now, it is not that users will make 10 comments per day, because we know how that ends, no one (or almost no one) is going to devote to reading 10 posts to be able to elaborate a comment that really adds value, but neither the extreme of people with more than 2 months without commenting to anyone, others that perhaps have one or two comments. Who don't even respond to the comments they leave in their post...
I'm clear that we are not going to get an improvement in this aspect, but at least that is up for discussion, which is already something important.
You are totally right about that. I think that there needs to be a discussion and maybe people shouldn't just focus on the payout of their posts but rather on the relationships that they create here on the blockchain.
I don't know how it is for people but for me comments on my posts are what motivates me to write them.
I agree we can't enforce it but an engagement token might be a good idea. I do believe that we build community through engagement and discussion rather than just posting. I think all of us should share and promote a culture of engagement. Encourage it. We can not enforce it though.
You are absolutely right.
I will try to make my engagement in the PH community more than it ever was :)
Thankyou for this post it is really helpful for the active growth of the community :)
Hello @haidemerdi
The intention is that as the community grows we all grow, at least that is how we see it from PH.
Thank you very much for your comment.
Yeah that's a problem of the platform mostly, it's not related to our community. Comment engagement is pretty low on Hive/Steem/Blurt. I can't quite pinpoint the culprit, but if you take something like Publish0x you can clearly see that people on that platform are much more active in the comments section.
Hello @alexbalan
Yes, I have seen something different in that regard in Publish0X. I actually have an account on that platform, but I made a few publications and didn't follow through, because of time constraints.
Looking for culprits, I don't see it that way, I think it's more about seeing how you can encourage a little participation, Thank you very much for commenting.
I wasn't refering to culprits in the human sense, but there is something about those three platforms Hive/Steem/Blurt that doesn't really encourage conversation. Publish0x has its problems as well (content other than crypto and tech is pretty much ignored), but engagement is pretty much everywhere.
Have a great day and thanks for posting! 😄
This is a good point @alexbalan
Certainly, there is something that does not lead to real interaction between users.
First, feedback..>"doesn't you think so?."> I think it's supposed to be don't you think so?, don't you think so?
I try to read and comment, I am actually not finding time but I do atleast comment on some articles once a week.
I agree... this is the way you encourage writters on their written content.
Hi @mintymile, Good start to the week
Thanks for the observation, a mistake of mine, already corrected. Grateful
If you doubt, you are one of the users who takes at least a few minutes to read and comment on some posts. I know.
That's why a lot of people need to make sure they prioritize engagement as engagement is the key to growth.
When I realise that engagement is the key to growth, I don't hesitate jumping into it. And I make sure I dropped 50 comments within the projecthope community weekly to boost my engagement level because I know it is important also
Thanks @mandate for the support. The idea is that together we can continue to move forward.
Thanks for sharing I'm sure without much users engagement the platform will be very boring hope I would be more active here.
Without user participation, it's just something empty, that's how I see it. I agree.
Great reminder post by @josevas217. We should keep engagement alive among our community members. I shall try to engage with other PH members on daily basis.
Hello @munawar1235
I understand, because it also happens to me, that many times time, because of additional work, we are shortened, and it is difficult to make several comments a day, but that there is not a single comment in months there if things change...
Thank you for commenting.
Reading one another's posts and dropping comments is very important although everyone cannot perform equally in this aspect since some people have a lot of other compulsory obligations to meet and they are trying all they can to balance everything up.
Hi @ben-edom
Yes, it also occurs to me, among various activities I often find it difficult to write and respond to all the comments left in my posts, in addition to the fact that I do not always have the time to write as much as I would like, but to comment little to not comment at all in months there is a big difference.
Hello dear friend, like you, a comment on my publication gives me an incredible positive force, I very much agree with what you expose here and on my part I will make an effort to have more commitment to the community
Hi @ramsesuchiha
According to what I think, it is not necessary to dedicate 10 hours a day to be able to leave a comment, it is a question of organizing oneself a little, and even a minimum of participation makes everything a little better. The sum of all the efforts can create great things.
Greetings @josevas217 excellent initiative that have taken through the administrative part of @project.hope no doubt the comments are essential if we want to make community and thus support the contributions that as creators of content we are uploading. We will continue working for individual and collective growth within PH.
Hello @madridbg
Yes, without a doubt the way to make the community and any project grow is with commitment.
I appreciate the effort of every projecthope leadership team. I will try my best to improve in the way I comment on post.
Hello @great-a
In the end what is sought is that there is benefit for all, considering that we all like our posts to be seen, as well as voted.
Greeting dear @josevas217, since I am sharing in the community, I have observed that you have a team that organizes in detail every aspect of the community.
From my point of view, I think that the interaction, is important to make community and to be able to share any point of view on any topic that we consider important, that makes us grow as blogger and the best of everything allows us to be able to know new people in different areas of knowledge. I applaud this call for participation, you can see the interest in making community.
See you later, have an excellent week !
Hello @amestyj
Yes, in fact we always try to talk and look for ways to make everyone's participation and support grow.
@crypto.piotr is always aware of everything, and is the one who encourages many of the initiatives...
Thank you for commenting.
Those of us who are part of PH, at first accepted the vision of collective growth and the guidelines of the project, therefore, at that moment we agreed on a commitment to maintain a level of interaction through feedback, an element that in particular I evaluate as positive, because it generates an impressive dynamism, so if we are willing to continue growing in the collective, I think it is necessary to fulfill the word contracted.
In my case, I particularly try to keep active in the community, however, sometimes it is difficult because of problems beyond my control, there are few hours that I have internet service, however, in the short time of daily internet I try to get the most out of it.
Hello @lupafilotaxia
Yes, the idea is that everyone should put their grain of sand in the growth, and surely we will all benefit.
We know about the electrical difficulties in Venezuela, that is very clear.
Definitely agree with you, engagement is definitely important for sustaining a community. When you say the level of support is proportional to one's level of commitment, could you be a bit more specific in defining commitment? I see it as equal parts publication and comments. Am I right up assume so?
Hi @alvinauh
It is not equal parts, not so much so, because you can publish once in PH, but comment 10-50 times a week.
We try with this call of attention is that in addition to publishing, even if you take a few minutes to read a publication and leave a comment. That's important for everyone.
Receive feedback on what we share.
Because there are those who only publish and do not even respond when someone comments on them.
Hi @josevas217 - I absolutely agree with what you are saying, I usually find the comments from the same few people. I was just discussing this with @crypro.piotr a couple of days ago.
I know we all like the crypto rewards we get for our posts but when we put a lot of thought into what we are writing, it is discouraging when there is not even 1 comment. A couple of my posts recently had loads of comments from outside PH like Leo Finance community but I think just 1 from PH.
I support any initiative to help increase engagement. Have a great day.
Hello @awah
Yes, in the leofinance community they also vote the comments, and maybe that can make them comment more, in search of those rewards.
But, the important thing is to be able to collaborate a little even in the growth of the community, we receive a support with votes, practically all, but beyond that it is necessary that we can feel at ease when publishing and seeing comments. It is a real
"not much commitment in stopping a few minutes to read some publication and leave a comment"
I totally need to be a lot better about leaving comments!
This is very spot on @josevas217. I'm happy you posted this. It's a good reminder.
Hello@fijimermaid
We must all be better, including myself. I am in that process of commenting, answering the comments that are left to me, because because of time constraints, I can understand that many times things get complicated for us.
Hi @josevas217
A very fair and necessary decision, when a commitment is made there are no excuses, not even for ourselves.
I particularly believe that we must assume the commitment and make more effort, I say this for myself.
Continue to work, for the benefit of the community .
Hi @jannetyanez, thanks for commenting.
Yes, it's also a way to be grateful, at least I see it that way.
Because the intention is that we support each other.
Dear @josevas217 originality is the hallmark of our community. By way of promoting original and non plagiarized content we are promoting creativity and proving a platform to vent out , showcase and share our feelings, knowledge and sometimes emotions (Though we write mostly about crypto AI machinelearning and other such such stuff )
However the energy, warmth and the mutual respect the community members share is a great feeling.
I am so glad we have shaped as a community that supports each other through positive comments and sharing of views.
Hello @thetimetravelerz
Yes, in fact, in general terms we are a united community. It is shown in the comments we leave.
I feel good about this too, but if there are those who stay a little bit out of the growth as a community and only focus on the individual, the best thing there is to make a little call for attention.
Thank you very much for commenting.
Hello friend, I totally agree with you, it is important to commit to the community, it is illogical to publish and not make any comments to the rest of the users and also expect a reward. I agree with this rule, someone who doesn't commit to the community can't be supported in the same way as others if they care about staying in tune with everyone else. Greetings!
The key word is commitment, and commenting on another publication based on a reading that might take up a few minutes of our time can make the community grow more and in turn we all grow within PH. Greetings friend, excellent content.
