I need a shake up of my follows, and to see what’s out there on the platform that I’m missing out on.
This all came about because I recently looked at my Hive ’following’ list. I’ve not looked at it properly since the Hive chain was created, along with the snapshot.
OLD
The accounts I had been following were an overhang from ones I once impulsively followed in the early days on the other chain, when I first started out on the platform in early 2018.
Looking back at them I found it easy to unfollow about 30-40 accounts - ones which haven’t been active in years. My theory is that if I looked at the blog/posts/wallet and if they hadn’t posted in at least 6 months, it was time to move on. So I unfollowed.
Some of these used to be MASSIVE and well voted stake holders on the other chain, and I was once envious of their power. They never migrated to Hive. The accounts are abandoned. Weird really.
NEW accounts
I still love following my usual accounts; a whole host of interesting and dedicated people posting about all sorts of stuff. ❤️
However with weeding out the not-so-purposeful accounts I’ve found a thirst to follow different ones which might interest me, ones which I can dish out my upvote to.
Something to shake up my feed with consistent, interesting and vibrant content. A #HiveShake if you will :) (Sorry it’s terrible play on words of Hand Shake 🤦♂️)
WHO TO FOLLOW?
I know @steevc runs a weekly Follow Friday post, which I’ll be tapping up for his recommendations..
I would like to encourage suggestions to me on your best accounts in the world of video, filmmaking, film/visual art, philosophy and rock/pop/metal music.
I will reward (as usual) comments of value with my upvote :) Thanks in advance and don’t forget to shake up your follows too. Especially new accounts - they need our love right now.
