RE: CreativeCoin: The Tribe that Gave Up

Hi. I run a writing and learning website called Silly Linguistics. We make language learning material and stuff about languages. I used to be a programmer. I actually have a masters degree in computer science. I find the internet fascinating and love how people can make their own stuff and make money doing it.

I have a bunch of people who are super passionate about writing and we publish a magazine every month where we show cool stuff about words and languages.

I don't know what is involved in running a HIVE tribe but I am super passionate about online content and want to know what is involved because where there is a will there is a way.

I have spent the last few years building up my online presence. I have about 500 000 followers on Facebook where we talk about languages and linguistics.

I started buying CCC a while ago and I regularly buy CCC to help the price of the CCC community. If there is anything I can do to help out please let me know. I have a lot of knowledge of programming and online tech. Also I work with a lot of very talented creators and have contacts with a lot of programmers and tech enthusiasts. I am sure we can find a way to make CCC work.

Sort:  

As I recall, the original INTENT was for the Creative Coin Community to be a hub for artists, musicians and other creatives on Steemit Hive.

Typically content covered

  • Art
  • Music
  • Photography
  • Creative Writing
  • Poetry
  • Digital Art

And I think there might have been a few others.

Content was actively curated and moderated for relevance and yes, there were a few skirmishes with people who felt they should be allowed to post "whatever," and there were questions of the "freedom" of a blockchain community. Which always leads me back to the simple question of WHY someone would join a knitting club to talk about car repair?

Because "Creativity" covers a wide range, the "heading" invites sub-communities, for example along the lines of the list, above.

So far, the only Hive community (that I know of) that has somewhat done this successfully is Natural Medicine, which also has a Spanish language subgroup, a "Homesteading" subgroup, an affiliation with the "Abundance" tribe and so on. They have an 8-member team, an active Hive community page AND their own front end; four distinct weekly curation posts/areas and regular community initiated contests/challenges. It's an interesting group in that they have 2900 subscribers, but not a super-large flow of posts because it's very niche.

Anyway, just thinking out loud, for the moment...
