Announcing the Deadpost Community Curation Product

Deadposts, arise! Come up from the ground which you lay! Receive the rewards which you know you are worth! Bring your sexy zombie asses back to the blockchain for all of us to see!

Ok enough of that

If you don’t know The Deadpost Initiative was a weekly contest where people could post links to their old undervalued posts and give them a second chance.

We gave out up an average of around 20 steem a week, including that time when steem was worth $6, for almost a year. It was a really fun way to get to know people too.

Since communities have come around, I’ve been toying with ideas for a new version of the Deadpost Initiative, and now that have has emerged, it may be the perfect time.

A few days ago I pledged to give around 30% of my earnings from my old steem tokens to users with smaller upvotes/SP than myself. I wasn’t exactly sure how to do this though, so I left the details blank. The Deadpost initiative popped up in my head and the wheels started turning.

So this time, it won’t be as links in your profile. You are free to repost your old posts (that were originally posted at steem) in the community. If they are upvoted you oblivion or picked up by other curation groups, that is fine by us.

Any posts in the community I feel are left undervalued may receive a surprise gift of 5-25 hive in their wallet from yours truly.

Every week or two I’ll drop a curation post with the best posts from the Deadpost community that introduce the posts I’ve curated and also an engagement award of the week of 10-20 hive to the people who leave the best comments on deadposts.

Rules for posting

  • you must put #deadpost as your first tag
  • you must link to the original post in your deadpost
  • Your original post must have had a payout of $2 or less (OR $5 or less with fewer than 2 organic comments)
  • You must comment on at least 1 other Deadpost, and remember that for lots of GOOD comments you may get a reward later, and you’ll likely make friends :-)
  • You can only post 1 Deadpost a week to be eligible for any pprize or curation.
  • Other curation projects are invited to curate from the Deadpost Community
  • individuals are also encouraged to give gifts to any posts that blow them away, especially from users with less support on the platform.

This project is meant to increase engagement and create a stronger community

So get to posting!

Interesting. With the new features you could create a deadpost community and then cross post the deadposts in there to give a new lease on life for them.

@whatamidoing here is the link:
https://www.fullalt.com/altyes-intro/

You will find that the AltYes browser extension will not only help you and anyone wanting to do exactly what your vision/plan is, but also add value to the post by being able to Write an intro as to why you are sharing an older post.

Likewise, if you share somebody elses post, you can simply adjust the beneficiary/rewards payouts to ensure the original author gets the due rewards.

Hence making your entire idea come to life easily and efficiently, without double posting the same content from before.

Please feel free to check it out, install it and if you have any question, don't hesitate asking.

The browser extension will soon be updated to meet the needs of all our fellow friends from our chain, so that it covers the needs of all of us, no matter if we are on Hive or on Steem or both. Give it a few days, but til then, you can get a feel for how this free tool can serve your needs and ideas here.

Cheers.

PS. thanks @snook for the shout out. Glad to see you are helping people 24/7, 365 days a year!

Pineapple the Post Necromancer XD

You must comment on at least 1 other Deadpost, and remember that for lots of GOOD comments you may get a reward later, and you’ll likely make friends :-)

Can you please set me on the equivalent of "decline rewards" in case I accidentally make good comments on a deadpost XD
