2023 is way after Splinterlands' boom period.
Seems like Inleo and OCDB dominated onboarding in August 2023 (after looking at @arcannge's stats from back then). Maybe it matters that it was pre-Hivefest period, and things got "busy" with various announcements and people getting excited.
I lose track of when things happened. I will have been on here for 8 years tomorrow! I've stuck with it the whole time as it's fun.
Oh boy! 8 years? 2016? You were so early? Congrats for sticking around! It's fun, but sometimes it's challenging when there's a lot of negativity.
It's all about the people you engage with. Don't seek out the negativity.
