Tags are underused really. Some people just try to get the various tokens, but the value is tiny. I want my posts to be found and read.
Networking really is vital. That's how I've connected with so many people. Hive is supposed to be social, but some people hardly ever comment, even on replies to their posts.
The funny thing about this is that I mentioned this multiple times in the previous few years, and some people called me negative, while I wrote only a fact. The truth.
Even on Discord.
And once they mentioned on Discord that I earned $2 with one of my recent posts, as if they would be envious of that $2.
I very rarely visited Discord since then.
And nowadays I rather simply choose to write mostly for myself on Hive, and I very rarely write comments on Hive too.
We can each do what we want online. I've never denied that engagement is lacking on Hive, but I still get more than elsewhere. I'll also say again that Hive is small and scale matters.
Not necessarily the scale.
But rather the actual, real, genuine, mutual interest in the topic in a group/community.
I can mention small private Facebook groups with only a few hundred/thousand users, and they have real, regular, proper amount of interaction.
Because they actually mutually care about at least one same topic.
No one asks on that platform how many comments did you wrote under other people's posts today, because this does not matter at all on a socially properly working platform.
Only the actual, genuine, real mutual interest in at least one topic.
With this, you can have a socially properly working platform, group, community even with a few hundred people.
An online platform does not necessarily need to be big in scale (in the number of active users) to be socially properly working.
So the real question is, are the most of the Hive blockchain users actually care about any topic on the platform?
The problem is that most people indeed very rarely write comments, while a few people feel the need to force themselves to write dozens or even hundreds of comments per day for some reason, and their comments are visibly forced in most cases.
So they indirectly tell you (by their forced style of their comments) that they do not have actual interest in the post without writing that to you in a straight way.
And honestly I rather receive zero (0) comments under my posts than any amount of forced comments.
But of course, as you wrote above, "we can each do what we want online".
I really don't care too much what happens on Facebook. It's different and Hive needs more people who will engage with a topic. I do what I can to make that happen.
This happens not only on Facebook, but on every socially properly working platform.
This is not different at all.
None of them are different in this aspect.
Hive needs people, who not simply engage in a topic, but people, who have actual, real, genuine, mutual interest in at least one topic.
If the above mentioned thing is given, then the interaction/engagement will naturally come with it.
So the people will naturally use the platform.
This is the base concept of a socially properly working platform.
And Facebook is only one of these platforms.
I know :)
How do I no the right tag to use
See what other people use. What tags would you want to see?
Hmmmmm. That right 💯. Thank you
Yeah I like tags, but like you said many of the tokens have been setup to curate based on using them. I prefer using subject tags, but I see many using those he token tags.
So true, networking is really important here. I think that is understated sometimes. Always shocked to see people not responding to comments. I do my best to comment on nearly every one of them.
I won't lie I'm try my best but it not something I'm use to
