Mmmm, well, HiveFest has been announced, but maybe that happened before you went away? My feed is full of Splinterlands posts so I guess there is some action happening there. People working hard on new tools for Hive and others busy on apps so people can pay with HBD/HIVE, and @meno doing lots of on-boarding. I'm sure there's been some drama, maybe about AI, but it tends to pass me by 😂.

When isn't there drama about AI here, haha
Why has anything of particular note happened surrounding AI?
Great to hear about the onboarding, it's always good to have fresh blood here. I've tried, but my efforts were mostly fruitless, bar a few. Some good marketing/ ad campaigns is what we need.
Yeah, I usually see a lot of Splinterlands posts. I wish we had an algorithm that could track what topics we read the most, and then show us more of that in our feeds. I think it's the reason it's hard to get any real engagement on here, because personally, I follow a lot of people, but they don't always write about what I'm most interested in. The communities tab just shows everything in general, but sometimes I'm not in the mood for scrolling for an hour to find something to read and the "hot" tab, just shows random things the curation trails found good, which isn't always what I'm interested in.
anything of particular note
hmmm, well, we've gone from outrage about AI posts, to outrage about AI comments, with dramatic statements about only manually curating from now on, automatic voting is an abomination and anyone who has anything else to do in life should have a word with themselves and so on ... so no 😂
There are little gems among the Splinterlands posts and every so often I find an interesting person to follow - I'm enjoying @novacadian's sailing posts right now, love insights into other ways of living, it was one of the things that drew me to Hive.
I never really got into Splinterlands, even though I tried; I just didn't get it. For me, posts about it in general kind of go over my head.
That's a good shout there, I'll check him out. I actually followed this guy recently on Instagram who quit his corporate job, bought a boat, and sailed from America to Hawaii, which was such an interesting journey.
The AI comments are something that really annoyed me about Hive back before taking a break. I don't think the monetary gain from AI content in general is the main issue here, for me, it's that it's hard enough to find clickable interesting content on Hive that I'm personally interested in reading, and it makes it harder to find those posts when the feed is full of drivel.
I can go on Instagram, or Reddit, and stay there for a good while, because those platforms and others like have perfected the art of presenting you with content you enjoy and consume, whereas here, we're almost expected to work to find stuff we're interested in.
