Got any stats on how it's doing in the UK?
I also think people who are "anti-steem" should stop posting there, even if it isn't positive stuff. This is so that there aren't more transactions on the website. By posting there, it's actually helping the platform out which is ironic!
@pennsif used to maintain a list of UK Steemians. There were never that many of us and I know a few are inactive lately. I've signed up a load of people, but most don't use it. We need to get some sort of campaign going.
I have been baiting Steemit a bit over there and they flagged all my rewards away. I may cut down as I just don't have the time to mess around with it. Will be powered down in a few weeks.
I think there was a discord server for UK folks wasn't there? Don't know if that's still going. Is pennsif still active? Have seen him comment a bit on Steem but finding it difficult to keep on top of a lot of things right now to be honest!
I still have a ways to go with the powerdown but I'm just going to focus on keeping the music coming and try to share the positive vibes here with posts. Might have swayed another musician to get posting again on Hive but work in progress on that one.
We need to get the discord active again. Pennsif popped up again this week. We need more meetups when it's allowed.
There's so much potential for music on Hive. If we can get a few more artists and their fans on board we can build something cool.
Might be a while before we can do that again in the UK I feel! Digital meetups will probably be more likely!
I'd say the music side of things is massively untapped, it is such a good replacement for Facebook pages for musicians - followers actually see your posts for a start and fans and artists can reward each other for engagement and help grow with the artist.
Just posted a new list of UK Hivians last night. Looks like about two thirds moved over Steem to Hive.
Alas most of the remaining third seem to have left both chains altogether.
