RE: I wanted to talk a little bit about onboarding

in OCDlast year

The longer I've been here the more I feel like I'm the weirdo who knew bupkis about crypto before Hive (coughThatOtherNameAtTheBeginningcough), had a friend make a random fb post about it, hopped on and immediately started posting and commenting all over the place. Read up and researched crypto and how it works, tho I am totally a normie and not tech-minded. Am a leftist and relate to Hive as a co-op because that's essentially how it works and how I explain it to people (as opposed to so many here who are more of the libertarian bent). Really, I explain this place to leftie friends who were bashing crypto based on how Bitcoin works (or some hit piece they read online about it), and they're like, "Ok, that actually sounds not bad," so like, it can be done. But yet, of the few friends I managed to convince to give it a try, they gave up pretty quickly. The number one thing they all said (and why others don't even start) is, "I don't know what I would write about."
Even though I tell them there are other things to do, Hive is seen as being a "content creator" and apparently doesn't read as friendly to consumers?

We are definitely the weirdos who went out of their way to stick around after landing here but I really think this place is starting to become a place where even non-weirdos can enjoy after some time spent learning more about it.
