Thank you and please do take what helps from any of my ideas :) Getting a bit metaphysical, I like the idea if we put out positivity we see more positivity back. Not sure how well it works in practice

One of the worst mistakes I have made when life stuff happens has been neglecting my side gigs because having multiple streams of income comes in handy when there is economic turbulence and layoffs. This

Oh interesting, I didn't know there were updates due, that is good to know

I joined Deso when it was riding high. Was a decent enough community but when the coin dropped so did engagement. IIRC I got some free but did purchase too

If more people stepped up, the value of their $HIVE would explode. That is what I am wondering about, how to we increase the number of people who do these things? I relate it to the open-source community.

I am hoping for an overall lift in crypto to bring some optimism back. There have been a lot of hard knocks to the crypto space, mostly due to a few bad actors and scams :/

Yeah I figured, though interesting part of Mastodon is fewer followers/views but more replies, sometimes engagement beats community size :)

When we came back to the UK we lived with my mum for a bit (renting with 4 cats is remarkably difficult) and had to watch broadcast and ad-supported TV. Ugh, I hope to never go back to that, even if it

There is a recent spike in COVID19 cases in Australia however, after further investigation it has been identified that the majority are people getting it for the first time. Do you mean fewer people are

When I was a kid we were relatively poor because my parents both worked in "vocations", ie. things that helped other people and therefore paid badly. My mum cared for disabled people and my dad

I created a WordPress plugin for Hive that nobody knows or cares about 🤣 As someone else said recently, Hive has a chicken and egg situation of small community which hampers apps/projects but we need
