Yeyyy, thank you for your comment! And you know what? I never even planned it this strategically. But of course you're right, and I can see what you mean: if the post is all complaining and highlighting shortcomings, one is much less likely to rise above it and enjoy the experience. And honestly, I still think Hive is amazing, and I don't want to abandon it, but at the same time I am feeling the drain of energy. So I'm glad that my post still showed my initial optimism.
As for the reblogs, I was a bit unsure about tagging all these communities that I mentioned merely as a side note. But in the end, it proved to be the best decision. I'm so happy it worked out so well. Thanks to you too for being part of it.
