I am not blowing my trumpet. I am also not saying that I did something that helped save the world from a disaster.
BUT
This is just a fun reminder how it seems impossible at one point in time is next to nothing for some other time. There is nothing impossible but one may have to use the right tool to achieve the right objectives.
10 comments a day- A benchmark
All the background context points to one target that I always had. The target was to make 10 comments a day on Hive. We all know that engagement is paramount on any social engagement platform like Hive. The engagement shows life and growth in the platform. Making 10 comments a day was the ultimate benchmark I created for my engagement.
I forecasted and assumed that making 10 meaningful comments will suffice my presence on Hive. I did it for the most part but it is not easy to make meaningful comments on posts. You have to read and understand what the author is trying to say and make comments that augment the idea shared in the post.
In come the lull
I tried but I am only human.
I fell behind and did not achieve the target every day. The downward spiral kicks you hard and the bear market did not help. There was not much engagement. I zoned out. I used to curate and upvote but did not comment on any posts.
Threads - A platform for all
I blew past the 10 comments a day target after I became active on threads. This is the everything app that we all have been looking for. I am not saying the platform is perfect but it is something that broke the existing dogma on Hive which somehow thinks long form posts are the elite form of expression. Not saying we don’t need blog posts but growth happens when there is no boundary.
Threads have no boundary. You can write whatever you want. You will not feel deprived even if you did not earn upvotes because there is no significant time and resource investment. Users are having fun and earning tokens is secondary when you are actually having fun.
The threads platform is not up to the mark - for now
I have to say out loud that the notification system for the current UI is **** :) I am using other Hive dapps to make sure that I reply to comments and do not miss on notifications. Hope the closed alpha/beta app has the improvements users need
10 comments per day - Back at it
Yesterday, I made 68 comments. Of course, they are not the 10 meaningful comments I hoped for. But, that does not matter. I am not too worried about the upvotes on my threads. It’s good if I earn $leo on the side but I am having fun and that’s important. While doing that, I upped my engagement game and created significant Hive transactions. Engagement and transactions matter. I spend more time on Threads than on the main @leofinance page. I do not need to make an extra effort to write 60 comments a day. It is not impossible when you are firing short form content and having fun conversations with your fellow community members on themes you like to talk about.
