I like the way you're thinking !
It's easy to criticise Hive even with the best of intentions, and I'm guilty of that myself, by identifying what I see as issues when it's things that benefit some sections of the community.
I totally agree that common-ground items of what's good for Hive include visibility and easier token purchase.
Could I suggest a couple of others
- User retention - both keeping current users engaged and active, and reactivating Hivers who have drifted away.
- Accessibility & education - this one's a bit harder to explain ! Hive is a complex and rapidly evolving octopus of an ecosystem, doing lots of things and with lots of apps, front ends etc often duplicating each other with minor differences. It's bewildering for existing users, and when I was new I was so confused it nearly drove me away. So somehow we need to find ways not to simplify things, but to explain Hive better. Preferably in ways that non-Hivers and non-technical people can understand ! Perhaps we need not centralisation, but a Hub that's promoted everywhere containing easily used reference information.
This is definitely a conversation that needs input and ideas from lots of people, especially the kinds of witness that can actually code improvements once agreed on.

Thank you!
Agreed, user retention is a major issue, as well. Part of the challenge there is that we don't have an effective internal "messenger-like" communication system that allow people to talk to each other.
Discord? No! The moment you get into "you have to have accounts on multiple sites in order to make this work," you've already lost 3/4 of the audience. It has to be simple.
@peakd's new SNAPS feature gives me some hope on that sense... perhaps it could serve as a framework/model for a communication system, where the "Snap" is a communication between specified people, rather than "open," and and sending a "private" snap automatically sets rewards to burn, to avoid abuse.
As for accessibility/information/education, I have long felt that Hive — presenting itself as decentralized — needs its own Wiki, free-standing, but also "officially attached" to the community, built by the community... with both existent users as well as potential newcomers in mind.
