Can You Feel It?! "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Huddled Masses Yearning to Breathe Free" ~ #hiveishome

in #hive3 years ago (edited)

I awoke to not only a beautiful sight regarding the crypto charts, but a litany of #introduceyourself posts that were really well put together. Along with being well written, these new Hiveans came here because of what we all came here for...

Let's start off with @gubbatv. Here is her intro post, I'd highly recommend checking it out. She's got quite the following on most major SM sites.

Here's a little snippet:

"After random shadowbans and restrictions on traditional social media sites *I wrote more about this on my blog GubbaTV.com I decided to set out and look for better alternatives."

Parler was a good start but was shut down. It was at that moment I started looking for decentralized alternatives which lead me here!

Something we desperately need here on Hive are influencers who have a following. Hopefully she starts kicking ass and taking names and her followers take notice of what #hive has to offer.

Welcome to HIVE @gubbatv, welcome to freedom!

Next one up isn't even a person, per se, rather a TRIBE.

Give it up for the Gradnium Tribe from Oklahoma State University!!!

@trostparadox and @aggroed are behind this one and it will be very interesting to see how this all plays out. Quite the experiment if you ask me, and one I will be following closely. Could this lead to other colleges following suit??? I sure hope so.

As @aggroed explains in this post, tribe creation is still fairly difficult for a novice, he elaborates here:

I walked Dr. Trost through the creation process personally and know there's still some things that we have to improve to make Tribe creation an easier experience. There's no way around the fact that Tribes can be tricky and technical and right now it's doable, but not a great experience.

I'm potentially working with @memehub to create a new tribe creation website specifically geared towards helping people create tribes.

So not only is Hive growing by adopting great, disenfranchised independent users, it's reaching educational platforms which will be required to sign up in the class room. How can this NOT be a good thing for HIVE???

Major props to @trostparadox and @aggroed for making this all come together. I am sure it wasn't easy, but they're laying the ground work for future colleges, high schools, and other groups to join Hive seamlessly. Nice work fellas!

Let's keep it going shall we?

Who doesn't love beautiful photograpy? No one, that's who.

So I am thankful that @effieoutside decided to bring her camera skills to us here on Hive. She had been posting on Instagram, but I would gander she will see what Hive has to offer in terms of rewards and community, and stick around for the long haul.

Go check out her intro post here and let her know what you think of her pics!

Here are 2 samples:

Welcome @effieoutside, Hive welcomes you!

and lastly, not necessarily a new-new Hivean...but a shining example of how a brand new user can achieve greatness here on Hive, simply by being and staying active.

Give it up for @zo3d!!!

Damn this girl is just crushing it!!!

Consistent, all the time. I don't know how she can pump out as much content as she does, and it's not just a single photo with no words. It's legit stories with depth, creativity, and heart-felt emotions. Users like this just don't come around that often.

It's obvious to see why she has been rewarded the way she has. She is a great example to show other new Hiveans the way it's done!

As far as I know, she hasn't invested a single penny here on Hive, and is more than halfway to 1000 HP via rewards alone! That's over $300 for blogging! Amazing!

For whatever reason, she only has 48 followers! 48! That's not good enough in my book for what this woman is contributing. Go and give her a follow, you won't regret it.

If you can't tell, my excitement and optimism for HIVE is off the charts today. So much happening ans still so much to look forward to.

I'm sure these are just a few of the amazing people that have said YES to Hive. I'm sure I missed some...

So let me know who is bringing the big guns to Hive so they can be given their proper due.

Thanks for reading, and as always, HIVE ON!

Sort:  

done, Reblogged,and proud to be a noob here on Hive and Peakd, Loving the community so far. Thanks for the heads up @edprivat

Thank you so very much for the mention and attention! That was unexpected and made me feel really great about being here. I'll check out the other people you wrote about as well.

True about Insta. It is super fun to look at and play with but there isn't a whole lot of substance to be had. Hive has proven to be a completely different kind of platform so far, and a good one at that.

You're more than welcome. Happy I could brighten your day :)

Hive is definitely different than most common SM sites, the number one thing I hear is that (for the most part) everyone is mostly courteous to other people. It's more about community than look at me, imo opinion anyway.

Again, welcome. If you have any questions, feel free to holler.

Ty! I appreciate it!

Great job with this one my friend.
You're enthusiasm for #hive and your constant work to make this platform a winner should be appreciated by every member of the #hive community!
Have a great weekend!

Just spreading the love any way I know how.

Thanks for your words from sunny & WARM FLA @thebigsweed!

Hope you and @farm-mom are living it up down there! My mom just got back today and my brother gets back tomorrow from FTM. I'm anxiously waiting two more weeks before I head to MX! Cannot. Wait.

Whaaaaaaaaaat!!!???! Ok you pushed the pump factor to a whole ‘nuther level! Appreciate it friend. And yes you’re 100% right. I’ve worked hard to earn my hive and planning on keeping it that way. You reap what you sow. Thank you so much for the kick butt punt!

Very much well deserved.

Rep doesn't mean much these days like it used to, thanks to bid bots. But you're only 1 level behind me and I've been here almost since inception back in 2016.....shows you're just kilin' it! I'm sure you'll be past me in no time :)

Happy and thankful to have you here. Keep doing you.

I'm one of those 48.

Yes you are!!! Although now we’re up to 51. Really going places 😂

Crushin in!

Hey fellow 65er!!!! That was pretty quick.

I didn't think it'd take you long. You actually kinda remind me of @jaynie when she came here.

I saw her intro post and a few follow up posts and dropped a similar line I dropped you. Now she's a 70 something with a huge following. I'd say you two are cut from the same cloth.

Yup! We’ve connected and chatted quite a bit. A fellow Cape Townian right there.

😉 Thank you very much sir!

Boom let's get this shit on the front page, such a good support to newcomers, some reblogs homies (and dudettes) @dandays @rubido @lionmom @bashadow

Thank you @edprivat. I figure with how many people join, get no traction, and then leave, this simple thing could help people get that little traction they need to find their niche here.

Thanks again for the call outs, much appreciated.

Thank you so much for the mention!
It's been so great connecting with new people and being able to share everything I do.
From what I've seen so far this community is filled with great talent and amazing people. Glad to be a part of it :)

You're very welcome.

You obviously have crafted a nice niche for yourself via normal online outlets, I found it imperative to share your new presence here.

Happy you're here. Questions lead to answers, ask away anytime if you have any.

Nice to see returnee's and new people checking out Hive.

For sure man! Felt like they needed a little recognition for their work, and maybe some traction to get going here :)

Thanks for swinging by!

It was @edprivat that pointed me in this direction. I hope they can all get a good start.

I'm encouraged by the inroad through education. As a social network we all know that Facebook owes its modest beginning to university social life. If we could tap into just that one market the active user base would explode. This is not to mention Apple, which spent a lot of time catering to education institutions over the years. Not a bad place to focus.

Dude, I was thinking the same thing when writing this post. I thought back to The Social Network, and how that all played out. Wouldn't that be ironic? The methodology behind growing FB to it's peak, will be the exact thing (for HIVE) that takes it down at the knees.

We can only dream, right?

Gotta dream big if you want to win...
