RE: BULLIED off HIVE - wonder if I am welcome to share my writing here?
It would be nice to have another "real" content creator here...
It's a different landscape here, though, than it used to be. Engagement is almost non-existent, except for a tiny core group. Unless you publish in Korean or Chinese... which, admittedly, I have not tried.
Yes, I have noticed that :D
However, I will say this: I would put my head on a block to say that there are MANY, many MANYYYY people who feel about Hive the way I do and would probably breathe a sigh of relief to grow a "fresh" community of English speaking content creators back this side again.
For SO long, I never posted here, for two reasons:
(I should probably have swapped the order of those two around, lol)
But now - I feel neither of the above :D
Perhaps if people began to see a small community of creators growing on Steem, without the fear of the bullies... then things may take a slow turn :)
I never entirely "left" as I was always curious to see how things would play out. Then I decided to just fly under the radar, on both sides. Which basically means zero cross-posting, and only engaging with "trusted" people who are on both sides. When I'm on Steemit, I never talk about Hive; when I'm on Hive, I never mention Steemit.
If anyone gives me shit I'm quick to point out that all major bloggers and content creators publish to multiple venues, and to be so "precious" as to think your site can have "exclusivity" is social suicide unless you're paying me a salary!
I post most of my stuff here to the "World of Xpilar" community, which is mostly English based... with some Russian and some German. Xpilar is Norwegian, an independent witness, and now runs the Steemauto service (curation/trails, etc.). He's a good guy, and he has a large group of decent mods.
Of course SteemitBloggers/PHC still exists but like many of the old groups is dead as can be.
I'm sure you've noticed there's no shortage of "rewards pool rape," most of it from a handful of people delegating small fortunes to UPVU (and a couple of copycat services) in exchange for $200.00 upvotes. Steemcurator upvotes are legit and come from human curators.
I've long kept multiple blogs, so this type of gig is pretty normal for me...
But yeah, I am sure there are people who would appreciate something like a rebirth of PHC!
....ooooh, I did NOT mean the rebirth of anything like PHC... my days of squandering my time and energy are OVER, lol! I just meant "community" as in a growing number of people.
Thank you for that info - I was actually looking at the communities here yesterday and "World of Xpilar" did strike me as one of the more positive, hence I posted there this morning - but I appreciate the validation, because yes... all very different now, so in effect I am a total babe in the woods haha!!!
BINGO, lol!
Glad to see you here though :D and I will go find you on FB - I just havent been on. I was also not there for almost 2 years as well... and only recently "went back"
Glad to see you, too! And no worries; I know you went walkabout, and I totally grok that, having done the same... well, several times...
