Hive needs discussion forums and wiki pages. Most projects rely on discord and that is just a chat room unless the forum mode is used. There is no way on hive to have discussions and ask questions in a organized way as blogs do not allow the level of communication that forums provide.

The problem is there are zero incentives for projects to use it in the first place. We have chat rooms, we have wikis, we have contact pages, it all hasn't changed anything since the projects can just choose to not engage with one another. The solution is the community as a whole needs to proactively enforce a set of requirements on projects by collectively putting pressure against those who do not follow such requirements. Hive has the most powerful form of governance: community. However, just like democratic governments, communities need to actively pushback against bad actions
Hi Vaultec, hope you are well.
The core problem is a decentralised system can't function when it has such deep problems as a dominant minority and a lack of any centralised planning or goal setting.
My long comment above provided a lot of steps we could introduce to address those issues and got shot down by negativity, so the prospects of improving things seem as remote as ever...
'Build it and they will come' There are reasons most all projects rely on Discord for communications because hive blogs do not encourage community building because they do not allow multiple threads within a community. There simply is no way to collaborate here on hive as posts are not able to be seen and replied to in the way a discussion forum allows.
Isn't that the chain? We can discussions right here. Just keep replying.
Yep exactly, all the tools are at hand they simply need to be used appropriately.
We do not have all the tools we need as most projects are using Discord. The Hive Blog pages do not allow for ongoing discussions as a forum allows. We have no way to collaborate.
What is it you and I are doing right now?
If hive was sufficient for collaboration then why are most projects using discord instead of hive? What we are doing is chatting below a post about the Need for Strategic Coordination on Hive and your argument is that hive has all the tools we need as I argue for the improvement of hive so that posts like this can be more easily found and in a place that allows for related posts to be made so that we can have centralized way to communicate so that we collaborate as a community. Since joining hive to play splinterlands and then other games and projects I have struggled to find a way to communicate as discord is just chat room and hive is a blogging platform and so there is no ideal way to post questions and comments and receive answers. The main issue seems to be that due to a lack of communication tools we cannot collectively collaborate to create the tools we need and so projects rely on discord.
These are discussion threads on blog pages but the communities are not designed in a way where we can continue discussions and build communities here on hive. Forums have subgroups within each group and are organized in a way that is easy to follow and become a community as most hive projects are using discord as their main communication tool.
We had a forum, nobody used it.
What forum? I saw that Splinterlands once had a forum. Hive Blog pages needs to be improved into forums so that we can have conversations and have a place to post questions etc.
