The Brit List - July 2021

avatar

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 people to include. @livinguktaiwan has helped a lot with this. You can find me in the @teamuksupport Discord to discuss it or drop me a comment. The list will include anyone living in the UK as well as Brits who have moved abroad.

Previous editions

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.

Commentary

This month we see a decrease in active Brits for the first time since I started compiling the list. I appreciate that people have other things going on, but it would be good to see numbers going up each month. I found a few more, including about half a dozen totally new people, but some I listed previously are not posting or commenting. My queries with HiveSQL are not turning up too many people as I have probably found most of those who were already here. It does help if people can put useful data in their profile location. I look for all the home nations as well as a lot of big cities. That may still miss some out. I have also looked at those using certain tags.

Now we are through Hardfork 25 it may be more worthwhile being active if you have good content to post. Talk to friends about Hive if you think they would be interested.

I did find another person in Northern Ireland and so we are up to three there now! I would hope there might be more to include soon.

I've not heard about any meetups. I would include them in these posts if I did. Even if it's 3 of us in a pub garden I could be up for it if I can get there.

I'd gladly join for a beer if in London 😀 (I'm fairly new so it could be a great opportunity to introduce myself to other members)

With things (hopefully) opening up a bit more this month it ought to be possible. Just needs someone to find a good venue and set a date.

Looking forward to drinks with the community! 😀

Thanks for the beer 🍻😎

We shall see if restrictions actually get lifted. I would hope that could be soon, but with this shambles in charge you never know.

I like these posts just to look at all the names people have chosen. If only we named our children like that!

Maybe I should have been more creative with mine. Having something original you can use across platforms is useful and mine has mostly worked for that.

I had no idea that there was so many hive(ers?) from the UK. I just didn’t know where to look.

There are a good number and I may still be missing some. We need to get more local meetups organised. People shouldn't have to travel too far to meet another Hiver.

This looks like a lot of work Steve. I'm guessing it falls into the labour of love category for you? Well done on an excellent job. I for one really appreciate it and I applaud your staying power and longevity. Thank you.

Cheers. I think it's worth doing and with the scripts I've written it's mostly automated. I'd hope it can lead to people connecting with others in their area.

I found Scottish musician @graemesaxton this week. He just came back to Hive.

Please let me know if you find or recruit anyone else.

It has just dawned on my that I have the keys for @teamuk and would be more than happy to let you have the account if you thought it useful?

I was confused for a bit as I was assuming that was what @teamuksupport is using. For these monthly posts I am happy to just use my own account. I have a few and am not sure I would really use another. Thanks for the offer though. Maybe see if someone else can make use of it. Have you been on the Brits Discord? Maybe when we start having lots of UK meetups then a general account would be useful to announce them.

Cheers.

Good post, @stevec. I've voted on the only reply that's still live, but doesn't seem to be within the time-limit for receiving rewards. Reply to this and I'll upvote it :D

Cheers. I'm hoping we can see the numbers go up. I've found a few more for next month, but we need people to stay active.

Hope you are well.
