RE: Nine years of loss - reflections on HIVE / STEEM

I often think of what happened to the people I once engaged with on here. So many faces just disappeared one day. They never checked back in, whether it was on Steem or here on Hive. These days Hive feels like a bit of a ghost town for me with how few of those people remain, how often I end up going through my followed list and see that more people just disappeared. The vast majority of people I remember just aren't around anymore. Maybe three or four people from the Steem days I consider a bit closer than others, even if we don't talk that much anymore.
