When I joined, I didn't know what RC was, and had 0. I couldn't post. I couldn't comment. And I most other social platforms a person could name. And I felt Hive was 'blocking' me, with no explanation. I tried to use a faucet, but even that failed for some reason.
I felt bad and was just gonna go back to web 2.0 stuff...
... until @lovesniper and @traciyork saved me. literally stopped me from leaving this platform.
I've posted over 90,000 words in the single month I've been here, and it all would've ended up somewhere else if it weren't for this initiative. (Even if I still don't really understand the relationship between @lovesniper and @ocd very well)
Huge props to you, @rishi556 , and everyone else involved. I had no idea there were so many nuances involved, or that people were abusing the bot with fake accounts. Despite all that, you've done a fantastic job improving retention, imho.
I voted for your witness, have no idea how to stake someone, and I'm looking forward to what comes next. Wishing you a great day! 🙏
First things first...
Wicked appreciate the shout out, @ryzeonline & I'm so glad we didn't lose you! As @acidyo said, it isn't easy work, but it's totally worth it to have community members like you stick around. 😊
As for the @lovesniper / @ocd relationship thing, I'll take a stab at explaining it - OCD is Acid's project, which is focused on supporting Hive content across a wide variety of topics/communities by making use of curators & community leaders who recommend individual posts for curation. A few months back, Acid put together a team to additionally focus on people posting for the first time on Hive. I think that's it in a nutshell. 😁
Thanks again & hope you're having an awesome weekend!
OMG that personalized gif with my name on it. Feelin' the love :)
You and Acid's work is clearly paying off, I hugely appreciate it.
And wow, that was a clear, precise, enlightening explanation. I get it now! Thank you.
Wishing you the same, wooooo! 🙏
