We have tried to attract outsiders. At the first mention of "crypto" we get the usual "waste of electricity" "scam" "bunch of alt-right losers" stuff.

And yes, we try to point out that HIVE is POS and not wasteful POW, but they don't care. They already threw the baby and the bathwater out a few years ago. I think most people have already made up their minds on crypto and are either full-time in or full-time out.

Gotta be honest though, the drive for us isn't the money. It's the community. Something that is totally lacking on HIVE. Used to be a thing on Steem, but not anymore. Yeah, we have communities, but there's no communing in them.
