With all these great features you have to wonder why Hive is not massive. It ought to win over some of the smaller blogging platforms at least. I know some will say that newbies get bullied, but from what I have seen this is mostly because they try to abuse the platform. I do think you have to give them some chance before pummelling them to nothing as some may just have wrong expectations of what is acceptable. We need things like HiveWatchers to highlight abuse, but they have to be as quick to accept when they are in the wrong as they are to flag people.
The rest of us should do what we can to make newcomers welcome. Comments can matter as much as votes to some. I see posts getting $10s in votes when they have zero comments and that looks wrong to me. More manual voting and real engagement go a long way.
There's lots of exciting stuff coming and I don't even understand all of it. What we need is a good experience for all users.
I 100% agree - I think votes need to spread around a bit more widely - I'm not the best at that myself.
There's a lot to be said for voting comments, it's one of the real things i like about leo rather than HIve!
