  1. Most people just want to take & they never think about how they can give.

As much as I want to earn here, I prioritise the community & support it in any way I can because I believe this is the best way to build.

  1. I don't know how else to explain this but you cannot grow in any capacity if all you think about is taking.

I also want to earn money guys but I know I have to give, my time, attention and support to the community.

The requirement of money can be of two types-- Basic needs or conspicuous consumption.

The former could be compulsive after all u survive first before u do anything else, d latter can be checked and can be trained for d larger good.

For the former I understand and empathise with those who are in such a situation because I am currently there and I know what it means. However, I understand that the only true and sustainable way to survive is by adding value.

There is a concept called the welfare state, where the basic needs of the downtrodden are fulfilled by the state. It believes that an outcome from an individual can not be expected if he is still struggling with basic needs.

  1. "What can I give?"

How do I make the user experience better for other people?

How do I create engaging content?

How to I support and expand the community's reach?

These are the impprtant questions

In communitarianism, there is a concept-- an individual can not have a goal/interest distinguished from the interest of a community.

In other words, it rejects the individual interest that conflicts with the interest of the community.

And this is true on hive as those who do not have the community's interest are ousted or ignored. Hence the need to align wants interest with that of the community which presents as win-win situation

Hive perfectly aligns with the ideals of communitarianism

But then again it is antithetical to the basic tenets of liberalism which is individualist to the core. It assumes that community interest is simply the sum of individual's interest

"Put I am showing up everyday?"

Are you engaging?

Are you creating clickable posts?

Are you staking?

Showing up is good but you want to have impact. Your impact must be felt.
