Hey 
We would like to add some context about the Aliento Project.
Even though the account was created in March of 2018 and the project started that year, it oonly was only active for a few months. It wasn't until around August of 2020 that the project really took off or started. So Aliento really started in Hive and not in Steem.
And as you mentioned, we didn't start the movement, but we reinforced it. The #spanish tag, I believe, was created or set as a standard for the Hispanic community by 
Aliento started as a project to help users who had questions about Hive, and from there it has evolved. At the same time, we were curating content with the goal of retaining users, and our curation trail was followed by 
We also have a Discord community with almost 2,000 members, not all of them are active, but it has been a hub where new users can ask questions, get support, and meet other Hivers. In the past, it was also a place where community leaders could nominate posts similar to how OCD does their curation, but in 2024, we changed that model, and the curation is made directly by the Aliento Curation team. In this post, you can check the communities that we have supported over the years. Not all of them are active anymore.

In the past, we have also sponsored events and gatherings. And we have helped Hivers who have gone through tough times, check 
This is a small summary of what we have done, but what we want to point out is that Aliento is not only an onboarding or curation project; it's much more than that, and it's a project that keeps evolving and growing. And of course, we are not perfect; we have made mistakes in the past, but we have learned from them.
