Here's another Kit.
This one consists of 21 different social media thumbnails to headline your Hive-related posts. Some of them are the same ones I created as part of the brand assets you can download from the Hive.io site. But I thought you guys could use MORE!
All of them have been optimized and sized to work well as graphics for your next blog post. They should also be fine for Twitter or elsewhere.
Half of them emphasize HIVE as a brand. That is their purpose. Speaking of brand, let's talk about the identity we've declared as our own.
A HIVE, as it's typically understood, consists of a swarm of like-minded individual units that are all working towards the same goal. United in purpose. Each unit contributing to the greater goal.
A Hive's power is derived from the lock-step teamwork and collaboration of every participating unit. Each unit, regardless of size or role, has value. Each unit is an important member of the team.
This concept is what inspired the "UNITED WE SWARM" thumbs.
It's a very powerful mantra, particularly since I strongly believe that our ability to be UNITED is what will determine Hive's success or failure. In-fighting, negativity, and hostile actions within the Hive will destroy this grand experiment in short order.
Nothing kills innovation, creativity, and collaboration quicker than a lack of empathy.
Now, I'm not saying that cancerous elements within the community must be tolerated. However, we must take care to resist a mob mentality that is quick to ridicule, bully, or tear down anyone that has a differing opinion or perspective.
The goal should always be to seek common ground, understanding, and peaceful, mutually-beneficial resolution. In doing so, we will benefit from a wellspring of knowledge and experience that spans across all members of the community. Therein lies our power.
Therein lies our inevitable Success.
With that in mind, I am including 10 thumbnails that are focused on Hive topics that revolve around evolving and improving our Hive.
My hope is that when readers see one of these graphics on their feed, that we will all treat the writer's idea with respect and dignity. When an author takes the time to publish a post, it's with the intention to elevate our home. To make it better.
By flaming a community member, we are shooting ourselves in the foot. For even if the post is nonsensical or foolish, there is another person with the seed of a great idea...and THAT idea will never see the light of day because of the FEAR to be publicly ridiculed or insulted. As a result, the potential for the blockchain becomes that much dimmer.
In the immortal words of Bill and Ted:
Be Excellent to Each Other!
And with that, here's your Hive Social Kit.
If you didn't see my previous kits, you may find them here:
These assets are free to use for anything you want--as long as it's used to support, benefit, or promote the Hive blockchain.
Wonderful graphics work here in this post. Thank you very much for making it available to us all, for enhancing the quality of our Hive content. 👍 🙂
Excellent admonition here @nateaguila ...
... as I could hardly agree more. "We" do ourselves harm when we don't allow freedom of expression. The "pack" mentality far too much on display at times "in here" is disturbing. "We" are all free to simply "move on," if and when we may come across content with which we may not agree.
Even better? If the post is well done and the "quality content" box can be easily checked, then appreciate the fact there will almost certainly be others who will find value in it, raising the overall value of our Hive blockchain. Isn't that the objective of us all?
Yup, exactly.
Although I don't think people need to "walk away" when they read something with which they disagree. They just need to be CIVIL, haha.
Why can't we simply talk like civilized adults? Is it that hard? It IS possible to work through disagreements without firing off insults.
In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's a necessary part of the problem solving process. If people feel free to toss out ideas or try new things...and those ideas are met with mature and considerate feedback (not ridicule), then we are much more likely to progress the chain forward with our sense of unity intact.
It all boils down to what the ultimate objective is: an inflated Ego or a more successful Hive?
Agreed @nateaguila. Civil and respectful discourse. I wrote a post about it once ...
Far too little of it these days. And getting worse, rather than better. At least here in America ...
These are awesome! Nice work. I particularly like the United We Swarm.
The community has always gone after each other like brothers and sisters. You know ... like family. It is always amazing to me when that mentality gets turned towards a common enemy like Justin Sun or whoever. That shows how truly united and strong we are. Like “Ahhhh, hell no ... it’s on now”
For sure! We've definitely got something special here!
These are clean, as usual your design work is great. The community will benefit tremendously form your generosity. I know many users struggle to craft their own quality thumbnails. For those people especially, you must be somewhat of a saint.
The “United We Swarm” mantra is very clever too. I like what you’re doing here 👍
Thanks! And yeah, a good writer should be able to focus on writing. I'm more than happy to offer some images so I can appreciate more of their great content! So it's a win/win!
Nice work, I really like this kit and I will use them, thanks!
This is great .... Thanks!
That's a nice work you've done there!
again, magnificiento
