This is my first official post for Hive. I'm pretty far behind the story of the "revolution" (as I've read) that took place that led to the Hive fork, but after logging back into my steemit account after about 3 years, I see that most of the activity in English seems to be on Hive. Steemit's Korean language posts are currently the highest paying over there; not that there's anything wrong with that, it is just a note on who's reading what.
I always liked the idea of Hive nee Steemit, basically being an opportunity for organic rewards for original content. However, I always found the execution as the weakest part of Steemit. I hope Hive has worked out some of the toxicity problems that plagued Steemit 3 years ago -- which was ultimate led me to stop using it altogether. My experience was a noob still trying to figure out what's up who upvoted and commented on some posts from someone which accounts called "BernieSanders" and "KimJongPoo" didn't like and thus had many of my new posts downvoted for no other reason. Those accounts were on some sort of crusade against the unnamed user for somehow gaming the system. Whatever. All I knew was that I'd been caught in some sort of crossfire that ended up leaving me with a negative impression of the entire Steemit community at large. Sorry for prejudice, but that's the way it works.
Not having explored what is happening on HIve yet, so as I finished that last paragraph, it occurs to me that those same guys may have migrated over here to Hive and are just as big of the Pains in my Ass they were over on Steemit. Let's hope not.
I'm writing this post blind just to see if a)it gets any attention and b)if it does then Hive may be a good place to develop a science fiction story I've been outlining.
Anyway, Hello Hive. I hope you are kinder than Steemit was when Steemit was a thing.
