Anybody bummed about day one growing pains on something this ambitious and exciting is not anybody you or anybody else needs to worry about. Having watched several Steem offshoots launch ( whaleshares et al) I'd say Hive is doing just fine day one and general positivity aside, the concentration of creative talent and daily users here is going to do wonders for presenting a better, less spam'd up public face.
Pumped to be here. And patient af.
