Those are some good observations. Indeed the price of Hive is the lowest it's been in history as far as i know. Hopefully more people pick up some stake to help fill in some of the reward pool. I feel the same about communities and the engagement I see here on Hive. The feedback I get in my posts cannot be understated and has helped me solve many of my problems on my farm. So thankful to have followers that help me out.

Indeed people have their favorite front ends that's for sure.

I joined Hive because it was more decentralized to where I was before "Steem". After the sale of the platform censorship started occuring and I no longer felt safe staying on that platform so I powered down and moved to Hive.
