Of course every post is going to make someone lose their shit! Only, here, people have learned that it's better to go to the loo and do it in private. Like the old saying "If you don't have anything positive to say, keep quiet." Disagreements turn into discussions instead of crap-wars.
I'm pretty new here too, so don't take what I say for gospel, it's just my experience of Hive so far. I saw that @anggreklestari was the one who told you about making the intro post and all. Listen to her, add a little more chili and garlic to taste, and you'll do great. Heh, not that I doubt it with your job background - and I believe I speak for all of Hive when I say: welcome to the other side. Teach us how we can use those marketing things without being devious, tell us how they work and what to watch out for... I'd better stop now before this page turns into an everscrolling neverending thing.
I've been curious about how Hive is getting marketed out, or whether it was considered good etiquette to promote the platform as a way to hopefully convince more people to ditch the big 6. If more people knew about this site's existence, there would be more incentive to leave. However, at the same time... do we really want everyone moving here, even the hyperradicalizede? Hard to say what the ideal way to get more people to turn to the side is.
