HivePH Community Plans

avatar

Just sharing some community plans for the future. The main focus of the scheming I’ve been doing for the past few months have always to fulfill the vision I have for HivePH as a Filipino community. None of this would be possible if HivePH didn’t have active community leaders working on it of course.

Maintain Relevance:

The challenge of any community is to adapt to the times and remain relevant with the changes. The community has functioned as place for new Filipinos to post on until they find their niche community on the blockchain. There were times when the community page had 0 zero activity and it’s perfectly fine for me as there are more options for growth Filipinos can have on other Hive communities.

What I do want to build on is having this community act as a primary incubation for starting Filipinos on the blockchain until they get their rhythm. And maybe someday the favor gets paid forward for new generation of users. HivePH at the next stage would be more than just a community curation account. It’s meant to support Filipinos except for entitled pricks and more about it here. So far the community has been consistent with building up momentum with the recent onboarding activities.

Parts of the curation process included automated post promotion. Whenever someone uses #philippines or #hiveph tags on their post, our bot picks up the post and makes it visible for curators. The downside was having less people come to post promote on discord reducing discord activity drastically. Yep, it was all about post promotion.

I don’t want HivePH stake to be used only to upvote existing members of HivePH. I expect it to support others outside the community, and preferably those who are starting out when they need the confidence boost the most.

A remedy I thought was incentivizing some social more social activity on Discord because generates more opportunities for users to ask more questions about the blockchain on the sidelines. Discord isn’t a routine app people check on their social media routine but encouraging more use of it will help people get acquainted with Hive better.

Borderless:

It’s always been a pet peeve of mine to have a regionalistic mindset when it comes to social interactions on the blockchain. I don’t have problems with people showing favors to other members in close proximity to where they live but having a culture of seclusion prevents growth for both parties.

I started on the blockchain the advantage of a core group and let me explore several communities and interests on the blockchain leading to meeting more personalities on a global level. It was a random stranger that had no benefit interacting with me that gave me a reason to interact with others. The greater picture in taking advantage of the social aspect of the blockchain is how borderless your interactions are.

Community Impact Outside the Blockchain:

I contemplated on how much impact NFT games have changed the lives of people especially coming from 3rd world countries. Hearing stories about how crypto changed their lives can be motivating sometimes. I’m not talking about hand to mouth habits when it comes to generating income from crypto.

I’m talking about how crypto investing made people become more conscious about their finances and traditional jobs may not be enough to provide the financial security they need. Hive may not be that crypto to answer people’s financial woes but this blockchain opens up opportunities to get people interested in crypto with small dips. Because it’s amazing how this blockchain can potentially give you money for posting content most of the time nobody cares about at 0 capital start.

Current plans include setting up a clear community budget to fund community contests, projects and other community incentives for active members. If you’re aware about the account @hivephilippines, it’s been used as a curation account.

Approximately 10% of the rewards are kept to support community projects. It used to have @whoaretheyph as a beneficiary until the program started being on hiatus. Now funds are just being used to fund contests and active curators.

Once @tpkidkai works his accounting magic, I think we can move forward on how to better use the funds than just stacking up without a clue not doing what to do with it.

If you made it this far reading, thank you for your time.

It's called "Walled Gardens" interestingly, I commented the other day on how Hive seems to be evolving into a Clan mentality.

I've been thinking that maybe we should be encouraging people to use Tokens more (LUV, PIZZA, Engagement etc.), especially if we decline rewards on posts and allow the comments to finance things.

    A. That encourages dialogue.
    B. There are no more worries about Rewards; not earning enough or losing everything to downvotes.
    C. It gives smaller accounts a chance both in terms of making new connections and a sense of inclusion on a level playfield in that you only need to earn 10 LUV, for example, to be able to start distributing LUV yourself.

It's always been a clan mentality. Onboarding has been a grassroot effort and I have yet to encounter someone from my local community that can navigate into online forums because this platform is probably their first and a bad start imo, given how social interactions have money tied to it.

From my perspective, if there is anything I would have redone since the time I started on the blockchain, it would be to socialize more often as much as possible whenever I had the time. Social rewards just come then if you get a strong network and I'm not going to play clueless that the $ I earn is because I did good content. The delusion sinks in when people are convinced that the fancy tips are exactly how much their shared interest/opinions are worth. It's always about building connections.

The walled gardens only survive because they don't have a drive to spread out. Having a core group to rely on and telling you the validations you need can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. On one side, it's great you get a few cents for your comment and posts but it's another story when you get comfy from a lot of $ coming just by doing nothing all because you started with an established group.

Starting back then with nothing was a steep climb in public relations. I know it still is for people that don't have initiative to get involved with others but for people that do the minimal public relations, it's easier now than ever. I wish this was the atmosphere when I started than years back and newbies don't realize this.

Thank you for thinking about the new ones coming in and the challenges we face as we board this big blockchain world and making us feel we belong. I salute and respect you for that :)

I do like your idea of borderlessness and being inclusive of all. It makes me feel we are all 'citizens of the world' and to me, that too, is what blockchain is all about. Thank you indeed and hope for your plans to materialize and this community to keep thriving too.

Thanks for stopping by.

Learning from the regionalistic way of thinking that divides the nation, this problem has been recurring. I get that we have our own social circles and not everyone has time to socialize but if I see users that have been around for years not spending time to grow their network while having the audacity to complain why they aren't reaping social rewards like the rest makes me cringe. It's peak sign of entitlement.

Something I would want new users to learn is how they need to earn their audience first before people would bother with what they want to put out on the blockchain. This is still an attention economy and there's plenty of stuff to compete against.

My pleasure and thank you for this. Really needed when one wants to keep growing from the ground up.
