RE: What is the USP (Unique Selling point) of Hive? Why do we use it and how to onboard more users?

in #hive-engine23 hours ago

I try not to focus too much on "positivity" or "negativity" I used to focus on only positive but that in itself is toxic because both co exist in the world and are completely subjective. I don't think pointing out flaws is negative in of itself as long as it's not done with malicious intent. Seeing flaws or even things that you personally don't agree with can help enact change, even if it's just how you operate (I mean universal "you" not necessarily you personally). If we don't acknowledge flaws, how can we grow and (potentially). fix them? I hear you. Yes debates can often lead to growth, hearing different opinions and perspectives does help me personally to see things differently.

Maybe some folks in the HCL can chime in with different ideas/perspectives. I do like your idea.

I must admit I'd never really considered positivity/negativity until relatively recently. Keeping yourself in check to some level does help, though (from the short time I've been paying attention). I tended to be primarily negative, probably too much so, pointing out flaws that could be easily ignored rather than offering a constructive spin, simply moaning for the sake of moaning. I guess as long as one isn't 'overly' positive/negative, we're on he right track.

Hopefully, the HCL can add some input; those would be the 'key' users in such an 'open' project. I did consider tagging many of the project leads in this post, but I never like to tag users to gain attention. Let's see what other feedback comes from this, then I'll consider being a little more direct, either with tags or DMs on Discord. The plan could only work with cooperation from others; it's too big a task for one user to do everything, as I think most project leads here on Hive have realised: one cannot run a community, develop, and expand outward all by themselves.

I'd had a similar idea before trying to use Gleem to onboard users to Hive as a whole, but it never gained much traction with any other project leads. Most people are too busy doing their own thing to put time into other projects/ideas. Maybe if we can come together in some ways, it would lift the burden on others. The hardest part is giving up what is 'yours' in the pursuit of bigger things.
