Introduction

I started compiling these lists in December 2020 to continue something @pennsif used to do as I think it helps bring the community together. Since then I have found lots more people to include. @HiveSQL has been really useful for this. I use Python with beem (by @holger80) in a script to generate what you see here. Some of the post is manual as I like to include some commentary and I will keep tweaking it. I am open to suggestions for improvements. I aim to do a fresh list on the first Saturday of each month.

I also rely on the community to let me know of more people to include who may not have obvious account metadata. You can find me in the @teamuksupport Discord to discuss it or drop me a comment.

Those based in the UK can use the #teamuk tag for an extra vote. If you see people using it on non-relevant posts then drop them a friendly comment to point out that is not encouraged.

The list will include anyone living in the UK as well as Brits who have moved abroad. Inclusion on this list does not mean I recommend people, but I will remove accounts if they are known to be abusing Hive or are falsely reporting their location. If you have lost control of your account through phishing or other means then let me know so that I can update your entry.

The code to produce this post is on Github. People are welcome to use it for their own regional version.

What it means

The numbers above are for those who had posted or commented in the previous month. In the lists below I break each region into three lists:

• Active as above.
• Just voting. I will guess that a lot of these use automatic votes, e.g. HiveVote. Previously there were some that appear to have been compromised as they vote for known abusers. Those are now excluded until I hear that they have recovered control.
• Inactive in the last month, but most have done something since Hive started. We can hope to bring them back.

I want to count people rather than accounts as some have several. I can include those in brackets if you want. Let me know if you want me to update your listing. You can be as specific as you like about your location. Otherwise I will use what is on your profile.

Commentary

Numbers are down again this month and that is sad to see. I am not finding many new Brits and others have gone inactive. I know one friend of mine is just not that active on social media these days, but there can be many reasons why people leave. It is not always about rewards or even 'downvote wars'. I went over some reasons last month.

It may just be coincidence, but half the Welsh Hivers stopped posting recently.

It is obvious from the account age numbers that very few people have joined in the last year. Perhaps the $HIVE price going up will encourage some more activity.

If we want Hive to prosper then it up to each of us to encourage people to stay active and recruit where we can. I do think that we need some events where people can get together to discuss Hive. I have found those to be very enjoyable as well as informative.

I know I may not be a typical user. I have done well, but that is from years of activity and attending lots of events. I tend to be obsessive about things I get into. I am on here a lot, but then it is fun.

I have created a few communities as I see that as a way for people to find those who share their interests in similar ways to groups on other platforms. We need to get to some critical mass where these take off as word spreads.

I welcome any suggestions on how to build the community as well as for how to make this list more useful. I have produced lists for other countries and can help to build posts like this. Just give me a shout.
