Oh yeah, I also have warm memories of the social aspect of blogging. I started blogging in 2003, but by then, I already was a member of the blogging community for years, as a regular commenter who also shared links on a mailing list. We should explain to the Zoomers how that worked, with blog rolls, trackbacks, guest blogs etc. It was more manageable for a sensitive person than checking your notifications every day on social media platforms where the whole world is present.
I wouldn't mind reading more HSP content here. Maybe you could revisit old topics that have become too basic for your readers over there? I bet a high proportion of HSP are very active online and represented in the crypto community.
On your blog, why don't you add Hive to the boilerplate about donation options?
Thanks for the thoughtful comments @edb, appreciate your visit.
I have considered — and still am doing so — putting some HSP related articles here. I wouldn't so much be doing them with the Hive community in mind, but as a way to promote them to my existing external audience as a way of getting people to at least "set foot" on Hive. Or PeakD, more likely.
What I find noteworthy and interesting — as a bit of a related aside — is that Hive has literally thousands of communities, but there seems to be no Psychology or Self-Improvement community... at least not that I have found. I liked the "Natural Medicine" community, but it withered away...
When I find the time, I definitely will add Hive (and crypto) as an option in the "tip jar" area.
There's this Hiver living in Japan as a foreigner who's a one-person self-improvement group and wrote a book about it. I forget his name, I hope you can guess who I mean. Edit: I mean @whatamidoing of course, now active as @selfhelp4trolls
Lol hahahaha thanks! 😆 I'm off in my corner self helping myself and sometimes others pop in to say hi. I thought about offering to keep natural medicine going but I didn't have the time or energy for it. I've been barely managing to keep cross culture afloat, thankfully a few people managed to keep it going in my half absence. If you guys want to get anything going let me know. I will try to light a fire at least, hopefully I won't burn anything down 😆
