The Brit List: June 2022

steevc (78)in #hive • 2 years ago

Introduction

I started compiling these lists in December 2020 to continue something @pennsif used to do as I think it helps bring the community together. Since then I have found lots more people to include. @HiveSQL has been really useful for this. I use Python with beem (by @holger80) in a script to generate what you see here. Some of the post is manual as I like to include some commentary and I will keep tweaking it. I am open to suggestions for improvements. I aim to do a fresh list on the first Saturday of each month.

I also rely on the community to let me know of more people to include who may not have obvious account metadata. You can find me in the @teamuksupport Discord to discuss it or drop me a comment.

Those based in the UK can use the #teamuk tag for an extra vote. If you see people using it on non-relevant posts then drop them a friendly comment to point out that is not encouraged.

The list will include anyone living in the UK as well as Brits who have moved abroad. Inclusion on this list does not mean I recommend people, but I will remove accounts if they are known to be abusing Hive or are falsely reporting their location. If you have lost control of your account through phishing or other means then let me know so that I can update your entry.

The code to produce this post is on Github. People are welcome to use it for their own regional version.

Previous editions

What it means

The numbers above are for those who had posted or commented in the previous month. In the lists below I break each region into three lists:

Active as above.
Just voting. I will guess that a lot of these use automatic votes, e.g. HiveVote. Previously there were some that appear to have been compromised as they vote for known abusers. Those are now excluded until I hear that they have recovered control.
Inactive in the last month, but most have done something since Hive started. We can hope to bring them back.

I want to count people rather than accounts as some have several. I can include those in brackets if you want. Let me know if you want me to update your listing. You can be as specific as you like about your location. Otherwise I will use what is on your profile.

Commentary

Numbers of active users have dropped slightly again despite me adding more people to the list. I found a few more once I tweaked my script that searches for them. That assumed that people were voting as well as posting, but some only post. Even if you just have a little HP it can still be worth voting on posts to earn some curation rewards as well as helping others.

If you do not have time to curate then you can set up automatic voting with Hive Vote. I could suggest you follow the trail of @tenkminnows to support smaller accounts.

I will always say that commenting is an important part of building your account as well as making Hive fun and interesting. Be as social as you would be on other platforms. You need engaged followers to succeed as you cannot just rely on big curation projects finding you and the tags that give extra rewards do not generally pay that well.

If you know anyone who needs an account then please get in touch and someone can help out. The Brits Discord is a good place to find friendly people.

Meetups

There is a Hive meetup in Halifax on June 18th hosted by witness @c0ff33a. There will be food and lots of coffee as he roast beans there.

Are any other meetups planned?
