RE: Follow Friday: Poll Dancing
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
So let me get this right, the vast majority of your followers on Twitter are Hive users, and 85% said they use Hiveblocks. It's a bit like me asking my followers if they use Linux, isn't it? 🤷♂️
TBH, I don't know Luke Willis, but I suspect the Proton community knows him. Given most of us follow "Like-minded" people or, at the very least, people who have an interest in some of the things we are interested in, these sorts of polls are worthless; it's the same thing I've banged on about for years with events such as OggCamp or HiveFest for that matter. They're jolly fun things to go to, but they don't promote anything or encourage uptake because the speakers at these events are preaching to people already converted. 🤷♂️
I'm not sure how many of my followers are active. I know a fair few use Hive, but then I took that into account when I created the poll. I was just interested to see how many might be interested in Hive. Jeez, I'm not even allowed to do a little experiment.
Wills has less followers than me and he's actually into Koinos, which Hive knocked out in a previous round. With these polls it tends to be a matter of communities noticing and spreading the word. It's not exactly scientific or a reliable indicator.
The community events still have value as you well know. They are not primarily to get more people into the 'product', but that can be a side-effect if they get publicity. Some people working at the venues may take an interest for instance. From where Hive is now even a few hundred more active users would make a difference.
