Hello there! I've been around since 2017 through highs and lows and at the moment feel a very mixed bag of emotions coming from many investors and users. I listen to what I can and a lot of the same issues come up about not feeling heard or seen or if you get attention there will be someone there to try to shit on it instead of seeing that a "Rising tide raises all ships." I felt like instead of complaining I'd start a community/initiative and perhaps Discord for people who want to focus on action, networking and making Hive a welcoming place for BOTH new AND established users.

I had a few great chats with some users still moving over to Hive and there are many who still are doing that transition like O.G. user "Stray". Taking time to LISTEN to people who feel that they are not in the right circle jerks or circle jills (my phrase for women circle jerks), has produced GOOD results.
In addition to at least two shows and projects with other blockchains and my own career, I care about Hive's future. I invested 1400 with @reverendrum in it so I have skin in the game and besides fluff talk am wanting R.O.I. People seem to think talking business is bad or being biz minded is bad or asking for others opinions on what they'd like to see is bad. It is not, growth happens as much through disagreements as it does from just silently and sheepishly going along with whatever it is you think will make a buck. Hive is MUCH MORE THAN THAT and hence I am starting this project.
Here's what I am doing to help some feeling disenfranchised which is more then just a few on here at every level. Action is needed on some of this so am opening up the Comments Section so that you can link to YOUR blog either just your info or an actual post and will help how I can. Black Sheep Bloggers embraces ALL users no matter what level you are in. Networking is fun for me so hope it helps others as well.
We can't sit and whine about things if we have no plans on how to improve it. So my friends, SELF PROMOTE IN COMMENTS, and get ready for BSB (black sheep bloggers) to branch out and hopefully help people who want to not just see themselves succeed but actually see the platform succeed. I've put skin in the game so spare me some of the stale platitudes when there's a lot more that can be done besides clapping at people who already get plenty of applause. Fresh Blood is a good thing and reinvigorating those of us who have been on for years also is a top priority.
giphy, @battlaxephotos, Perspective is EVERYTHING
Def feeling the black sheep vibes. When I was growing up, we had started a little group called the OutKasts when I was in middle school (no relation to the hip hop artist).
Think I even did a wood etching in shop class and the design for some reason had a backwards K and wishef I knew what happened to it. We were some dumb kids doing crazy shit.
Remember we snuck into a cemetery and almost got caught. Did something called cooler hopping and lucky my ass didn't get shot.
We didn't fit in the social mold though. We weren't jocks. Not preps. We made our own rules and we were accepting of the "patchwork" of our social order.
I will never forget the OutKasts and I think I will fit right in as a Black Sheep Blogger. It's like the grown up version haha!
Thanks for the heads up!

That deserves a logo by our @overkillcoin…
A Rogue Sheep… A BattleSheep… A game comes to mind from long, long time ago. It was called ‘Fox Strikes Back’ and had an ad with a pic of Fox shooting two machine guns to bloodhounds while wearing a badge saying ‘Kiss mine!’
So sorry I can’t find that pic now…

doing a blog now then will check them out, I'm planning on a community , discord etc. for Black Sheep Bloggers, am in a ton of stuff but like to do my own thing and think enough people are sorta feeling like they don't wanna be feeling like a damn MLM thing to have fun and get networked.

I thought Of my buddy @skramatters immmwdiately upon reading the title!!
Yeah! actually I bet there are not enough irreverent heretics and smartass outlaws fluttering over here, that you'll be willing to admit, who indeed can be called A True Black Sheep Blogger with all of the law.
Nonetheless, sometimes I believe that there aren't more blackest sheep bloggers around here than those who also looks a lil bit pinkish. };)
Yah. I am probably the pinkest around but I love my black sheep. It takes all sorts and a bunch of black crows might make a great Murder here. Maybe a little branding?
Oh, the response to this has been GREAT, I can stir the pot in all the right ways , the link to the community to subscribe is on here and am going to do a discord and dare I say... LIVE VIDEO SHOWS :) at times, cause I already have a show or two so why not add more ;)
The pinkest @zekepickleman?
Really? How comes? Do you also have the pink Hello Kitty embroidered on your chest, the pink hairlace on your long silver mane and all the pinkish paraphernalia wrapping your manly handsome body? :D
BRANDed
one of us, one of us, one of us
Your call, our stampede to spread the fun. };)
;) ohhh yes
Lol, I'm late to the party of dissent, again 😔
Appreciate the thought @zekepickleman I'm honoured to be remembered in this light 😁
Even though I haven't invested in HIVE myself, simply because I can't at the moment, at nothing other than just a lot of time. I am definitely not just blogging on this platform for fun. Let me be honest, the slogan "I came for the money and stayed for the people" is nice. Sure. But I do it for the money, I mean ... I can post blogs anywhere for nothing. Time is money, and I've invested a lot of time here. So yes, networking and turning it into business is definitely something to love! I also care about the future of Hive and really hope we can all make it a great future. There is so much more possible with Hive. And after being around for 3 years I feel it's time to see that change. Hive isn't just a blogger platform, as a lot of people here seem to think. Hive can be a great company with the right community mindset..
bingo, sitting around knowing you're not gonna really get R.O.I which includes time is part of what killed Steem and some of the same things many see on Hive but there's enough new people and O.G's like us who can just do our own things. It is FAR MORE than a blogging platform, the biggest money by far is in dev and tech aspects. Made more on a sock doing work for some on some backend marketing or dev work then I ever did by blogging and hoping someone flicks a penny at me.
Feel free to put your latest post up here if you feel like it, it's one of the best posts I've seen in AGES. ;) thank you for the thoughtful comment
