Congratulations man - 2000 followers that is one heck of a milestone for sure! I'm surprised you didn't hit it sooner actually given how interesting your content is and the positive efforts you make around the Hive community.
It's certainly a time for reflection as you have done. I too sometimes reflect on the people from the legacy chain who are now sadly absent on Hive, there is such a history to this place.
As you know I was very pleased to see you were still around when I joined Hive back in September because there weren't that many people I knew. I found old accounts from people I knew back in the Steemit days but I soon discovered they were not active.
Hopefully if we get that alt season more former users will return and you might be able to reconnect with some of those peeps you mention in the post and have a catch up with them.
It's weird isn't it, I know this is just the internet but when it comes to a platform like Hive you really can build long lasting relationships, such is the unique combination of the social and the financial you find on Hive.
VIP reward: 0.4 Hive

Cheers m8! Yeah, after the hardfork I was generally frustrated and I missed out on 2 years where I really wasn’t voting or posting… so I think that slowed my follower tally.
Appreciate the kind words about my content though… I try to share posts that are real and meaningful to me, so I’m always hopeful that these posts translate to proof of brain for others.
As to old users drifting back in… yeah, I think there is a real chance to win back 10-20% of the steemians if there was a coordinated campaign. #hivewelcomeback
I keep toying with trying to find a catchy name, then maybe seeing if any support for idea could be garnered.
And for sure, Hive is unique utility in the crypto space. While so many chains just seem void of any real purpose. Hive really is a vehicle to cut the CEO middle man out from the social media equation. That we are all mini CEO is so powerful but simultaneously perhaps what can at times hold us back… as when the big boys get to downvoting it can leave a bad taste in the small hp accounts. I have witnessed people getting chased away because of the opinion they hold, and that kinda negates the freedom of speech and nobody can take your account from you argument.
The argument is true… your account will always be there, but when your rep gets blasted to oblivion for your opinions…. Gets kinda icky.
I’m all for scammers, plagerizers and abusers of the reward pool getting DV blasted. But if I don’t agree with somebody’s ideas, I just don’t engage or upvote their posts, I don’t need or want them chased off of Hive. Flat earthers are dipshits, but they should be able to post without having their rep destroyed.
Haha, rant tangent!
I’m in complete agreement that the relationships formed here on hive are often special and long lasting, and it having the financial tie in is certainly a sticky factor that binds.
