RE: A Step Away From Hive

I'm totally with you on this ! We come to Hive as a fun social alternative to the somewhat toxic legacy social media places, but the gamification element means there's huge pressure to post daily, grow the account, curate everything that passes in front of your eyes etc.
But the reality is.... most of us just came here for fun. The earnings are nice, but not enough to make a living (at least, not in Europe or North America). But the moment it starts to feel like a chore or a job is the time to back away and take a break.
I must admit I'm close to that - I spend too much time reading notifications and upvoting, and not enough time writing and commenting.
But I hope you don't completely go away, I love reading your tales and enjoy the way they're set in a consistent universe 😀
I really appreciate that, and don't worry, I won't be going anywhere permanently.
Exactly, and it's a great alternative to legacy social media sites, and I'd much rather spend time here over any of those other ones.
The pressure is real, and I've often felt - especially in the early days - that I was getting nowhere quick. The best thing we can do is just focus on having fun
