Hello there! I've been around since 2017 through highs and lows and at the moment feel a very mixed bag of emotions coming from many investors and users. I listen to what I can and a lot of the same issues come up about not feeling heard or seen or if you get attention there will be someone there to try to shit on it instead of seeing that a "Rising tide raises all ships." I felt like instead of complaining I'd start a community/initiative and perhaps Discord for people who want to focus on action, networking and making Hive a welcoming place for BOTH new AND established users.

I had a few great chats with some users still moving over to Hive and there are many who still are doing that transition like O.G. user "Stray". Taking time to LISTEN to people who feel that they are not in the right circle jerks or circle jills (my phrase for women circle jerks), has produced GOOD results.
In addition to at least two shows and projects with other blockchains and my own career, I care about Hive's future. I invested 1400 with 
Hive account@reverendrum in it so I have skin in the game and besides fluff talk am wanting R.O.I. People seem to think talking business is bad or being biz minded is bad or asking for others opinions on what they'd like to see is bad. It is not, growth happens as much through disagreements as it does from just silently and sheepishly going along with whatever it is you think will make a buck. Hive is MUCH MORE THAN THAT and hence I am starting this project.
Here's what I am doing to help some feeling disenfranchised which is more then just a few on here at every level. Action is needed on some of this so am opening up the Comments Section so that you can link to YOUR blog either just your info or an actual post and will help how I can. Black Sheep Bloggers embraces ALL users no matter what level you are in. Networking is fun for me so hope it helps others as well.
We can't sit and whine about things if we have no plans on how to improve it. So my friends, SELF PROMOTE IN COMMENTS, and get ready for BSB (black sheep bloggers) to branch out and hopefully help people who want to not just see themselves succeed but actually see the platform succeed. I've put skin in the game so spare me some of the stale platitudes when there's a lot more that can be done besides clapping at people who already get plenty of applause. Fresh Blood is a good thing and reinvigorating those of us who have been on for years also is a top priority.
