Hive when explained right isn't that difficult. I think it's always the retention and making people to want to engage with the community around here.
Signing up, creating account, and all that is not that hard but making people create & engage is the real challenge
Twitter or Facebook conditions a form of reactionary response. People aren't so much articulating their own thoughts but responding to or scaffolding to a current event or some transitory drama.
Hive's current audience doesn't foster or reward that type of content.
That's a good point too! like over X people are posting content from whichever platform they can find and react to it. I suppose it should find its place here too.
I still think we should have "light" accounts that are quick up-and-run, but keys remain custodial with the account creator until the user actually opts in for a "full" account; then they get their keys. Light accounts have posting authority only; can see the stake (more)
Yeah, that's what I thought too after trying to onboard people that are new to this whole thing. I think light account with posting auth and such would be great. I am not sure how feasible that is but I can see how that is useful
It's definitely doable. The Inleo community — they built their own front end from the ground up — have figured out a way to create an account with twitter/X, Google or several other ID sources. I don't know how the code works... nor whether it can be done as a sitewide thing.
Great idea. I’m getting hundreds of people to join via X.com
You've always been very good at that! The question is how many of them go on to become active community members? Do you have any clear sense of that?
A few are still around, and doing very well ….. but most of them earn a few thousand Hive then eventually sell to buy Bitcoin.
but can't transact financially until they commit to having a "full" account. If they don't use the account or there is no activity for a year, the Hive/HP is powered down and burned. It would be like a pseudo version of the Freemium model.
People joining Hive like crazy from X.com
Indeed.
