You know, I'm surprised that STEMGEEKS and in my case the Linux communities are not busier? @steevc and I discuss this regularly as to why more Open Source folk are not flocking to Hive?

We're here again with the word "Inclusiveness"

I must confess that I was under the assumption that you pretty much needed a PhD in one of the sciences to make worthy posts.
something we tackled years ago in the FOSS world. We need to make everyone feel not only included but empowered to contribute. IMO if someone just buys something, I dunno? A fitness tracker? and they write a post explaining how it has benefited them that's still technology they're using so why not? True it could also be in some Health & Fitness community but let's not forget they're using technology to achieve their goal. #TwoPenneth

I shared this post on Twitter to try and get your work in front of more people.
You can find your post and me on Twitter if you like? https://twitter.com/dick_turpin
I've also upvoted you and shared your content on Hive.
I read your post. No Bots were used this was all done manually. Hope That Helps.

Someone (apart from Pete) should be talking to open source projects about how they can benefit from Hive. As an open source platform it should appeal to them and I am sure they would appreciate extra income. Even if the just use @steempress to get their blogs on here I can support them.

I think the root of the problem is there isn't a huge userbase to begin with, and STEM is a niche of that. LEO does well as it is a very common interest behind everyone here.

Finally, I can see this!
Back in the good old day's everyone I know blogged mainly because Open Source was new and exciting. As time went on and services like Google Plus for example shutdown fewer and fewer people blogged and the vast majority moved to the likes of MeWe and Twitter.

Twitter always makes me laugh as most of my contemporaries hated Twitter with a vengeance due in part to it NOT being Open Source and yet today there they all are Tweeting away like a budgie on Trill. LOL

For a Microblogging platform of the 500 character ilk, I mainly use Mastodon however, even that struggles to attract the FOSS community which is unfathomable in my book. Sadly, the days of Freedom Zealots are gone if you ask me. Gone are the days when a certain individual I know wouldn't use WIFI because they couldn't find an Open Source driver; They own a Mac now. What the F?
