Don't go yet. I know that those accounts are dicks and have been since the early days but it's more of a reason to stay and help to fight for the good aspects of#hive.
As far as I can see @dbuzz is regrouping rather than closing and to be fair they needed to improve on the concept. The original idea is good, for a micro blogging site that links to twitter but what they delivered was a bunch of spam onto peoples feeds.
I got caught the same way from signing up and had a load of spam feed onto my blog but it would be great to have an interface or community where our hive posts auto posted onto twitter which is more what I was expecting. That and our tweets feeding into their app rather than my feed.
Grow traffic and bring in new users by creating lots of #hive based tweets and hopefully break away at some stage in the future.
Yes, that was due to a misconception on our part, particularly me.
I told @nathansenn that we could use posts right around the time Communities launched (we started in December 2019) after reading a popular article that it would make things easier for Dapps like @appics and authors to avoid downvotes due to Posts being separated from people's Blog.
That mistake and misunderstanding is what caused this issue. We never intended to have our Posts show up in the main feed but due to the time I was spending with our in person meetups https://steem.com.ph and our Dev Team meetups, I was spending much less time on Steemit after Communities launched and didn't test it that much.
Yes, we are planning something like this for our next launch. Our Devs took a break today but after resting a bit and clarifying our next moves, we'll start re-building D.Buzz.
Great to hear it. I was having the conversation with another user as to why we need to see more development of apps like this but just in a different format perhaps.
Don't be discouraged if your plan hasn't worked out the way it was intended as you do have a great idea for moving forward as well as "A lot" of user feedback to draw from. Whether you wanted it or not....
I would still love to see you create the app but hopefully from a different perspective. More about the micro blogging and interaction rather than copying from twitter to hive. Or in a way that doesn't show on our feeds?
Yes, all the feedback helped us . . we'll be updating the community soon.
I myself do not like the micro-blog environment, however I do understand that others do enjoy them just like they enjoy meme's and appics post and participating in actifit or dlike.
People can choose what they want to use, I myself do not use the above, vote or participate in them, that does not mean they are not needed or that I do not want them on Hive.
People have different taste, by providing a micro-blog system it may bring in more users, those user may stay and branch out into other aspects of Hive, just as several of the splinterlands and appics and other type users did.
So it is good to see that you are going to re-vamp and continue with your project. If people stop building because of what they feel are a few bullies, if people are going to leave because of what they perceive as a few deep pocket bullies, then Hive will wither and die on the vine. So thanks for the stick with it attitude.
doesn't matter this whole place is an oligopoly. It doesn't have any future since it only take one jackass to have masses of people losing their ability to communicate.
