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 was using beem to generate this post, but that is not in active development and I found HiveSQL could do it much quicker. I use Python for most things. 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. I can also remove anyone who asks me to. 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. I can help you with that if necessary.

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 or what I am told or can deduce from your posts.

Other Countries

• @michelmake does a list for the Netherlands using a version of my scripts. He improved the account levels chart and I have taken that code to use here.

Commentary

The total of active users actually stayed the same this month. That is not as good as it sounds as I did find a few new people to add, so we did lose some through inactivity. Some of those I found fit a pattern I have seen of a business creating an account and posting once, but never again. I wonder if this is some effort at SEO (search engine optimisation). It would be good if some of them could post more.

I use some @hivesql scripts to find new people and have noticed that the metadata displayed on accounts differs between the different dapps. @peakd is not always showing location, description and web site. I think they use a different set of fields for those, but also update those used by InLeo and hive.blog. The other two just use one set of fields, so accounts created there are missing metadata on Peakd. This seems like a potential bug.

I am not aware of any pending UK events, but I would like to do another one in my area. I will set a date soon.
