RE: My Hive Story, What's Your's?

Great post. I joined Steemit back in June 2017. I loved the Art and music communities on Steemit and I entered many of the drawing and music contests. I built up a pretty good stack of Steem, almost 20,000. Just from sharing my Artwork and Photography.
I worked very hard to bring some of the 300,000 people from my Offgrid Groups on Facebook but every time I posted about crypto everyone said it was a scam. I think I was finally able to get 1 person to join. They are still here and doing very well. @annephilbrick … she helps run a lot of fun Photography contests here on Hive.
Anyway.
When Hive split off from Steemit I started posting here and did ok… I slowly moved my Steem to Hive, like everyone else. But then the Downvote wars started on Hive and I was told to stop posting on Hive by a bunch of big Hive Whales. ???? Around the same time Blurt.blog started up so I started blogging over there. Again, just posting my Artwork, music and Photography. There are no downvotes on Blurt so that was great. I have been able to accumulate over 1 Million Blurt since July 2020… Blurt is around .04 cents … so about $40,000 USd. I sold some for Bitcoin, Dogecoin etc on Ionomy in May and bought a Car. That was fun. So I post more on blurt these days. Follow me over there for some big 1Million Blurtpowered Upvotes. See you on Blurt. https://Blurt.blog/@offgridlife
This is the car I bought with my Blurt…
My son built a Blurt car for Xbox Live and GameState.
This a video we made for Blurt, Xbox and GameState …

Glad you stuck around. Everyone else I got to join Steemit or Hive eventually quit. Keys too complicated, can’t upload profile photo, lost keys, etc etc… it’s good you found a friendly supportive community on Hive. That is the secret.
The keys are complicated. There were a couple of rough hardforks.
The transition to Hive was a challenge as well.
I think some got lost and discouraged. I almost gave up.
It’s so strange that we could not get anyone else to join from the Offgrid Facebook groups. I guess people are happier on Facebook and Instagram.
I'm rarely if ever on Facebook anymore. My family and friends no longer post.
🐝 Hive keeps me busy in my spare time.
I haven't checked into Instagram and more than likely won't.
🤔 Maybe some from the Offgrid groups joined and have a different username.
A great afternoon and weekend too you.
:-D
My FB account was terminated in the #DeleteFacebook campaign a few years ago. Waiting for the Open Source version of the Meta before deciding about going offgrid or not. 😎
Alot of people I know
@novacadian stopped engaging on Facebook. Disappeared.. Evaporated.
To many changes and not for the better.
Meta...will see..I might return...🤔😊
😎
You advised me on getting over to Blurt some time ago. Was there during my deep dive through the night following a posting from @lucylin who was pretty much chased off of HIVE by downvoting whales here. The whole fork thing took the wind out of my sails for about a year, yet as mentioned in this post, the community keeps bringing me back. Will definitely check things out on Blurt though... just would like to come in with an overall game plan this time. My landing on steemit was pretty fragmented; being there for the technology more than the content.
Thanks for the great feedback!
