Hah. Come on I did nothing. I've been on my own... hiatus. I'm like a conscription soldier, ready to go when needed, but otherwise, life has gotten in the way of the internet for the most part. I probably spend about 80% less time online than I ever have, pretty much. Can't handle all these names of things I never use; tiktok, reddit, twitter, snapchat, twitch, yadda yadda. Overwhelming and kinda gross XD
Don't worry. I imagined that, but I think it is fair to always include you. You held our fort for so long (even when I was lost in the 5th dimension during 18 months).
For these social media, I am like you. There are so many of them for which I don't know a thing, except for their name... On the funnier side, when I mentioned Facebook to one of my student two years ago, they started to consider me as a dinosaur, to write it in a polite way...
Meanwhile I'm doing my best at the moment to get back into Hive Culture, as it feels less toxic and grimy than the other mainstream platforms, even though engagement/retention is super low.
Engagement is low, but I find the whole platform funnier and funnier with time. Some thresholds have definitely been crossed relative to Steem days.
Regarding the rest of the post, I do hope citizen science will return. over my head but nonetheless a very inspiring enterprise that brings something to Hive maybe almost nowhere else gets to enjoy
Me too. Note that I will try to resume collaboration with China this year (my former collaborator, who was of our age, passed away during the pandemic), so that there is a possibility that we will meet again. I will keep you up-to-date, obviously.
