My only suggestion is to make sure the admins/moderators know how to deal with complaints and such. Give a training on customer service or something because there are moderators/admins/curators who are not used to serving others. They act as if they are the boss of everyone. What, are we in a dictatorship on here?

If you are in a leadership position it is there for serving others and not insulting and belittling those who have complaints and such even if they don't speak nicely. There are powertripping moderators/admins and it very much damages the way the community is run. Such behavior is not helpful to communities at all.

I like the suggestion but yes as hurtlocker said this is more of a cultural change which isn't the scope of this post sadly

Yeah. Sadly but at least I hope there will be some cultural changes as you say because it's sorely needed.

Hive is not a monolithic community because HIVE is global. It's better imo if we let communities manage themselves in a way they want to. (Emphasis on imo)!

Not trying to be needy, just wondering, what do mods and admins do in your community?

I'm the only mod/admin in my community. I would consider adding a mod but I'm not sure what they would even do.

I'm in many communities and there's always some who don't know how to deal with complaints with their management. Have no idea what mods do but I experienced good and bad ones with mostly good. Still the bad ones make people leave all the time, this is why despite Hive being global it isn't something most people want to stay in.

I'm not sure there is a single reason people don't want to stay. I think it's a lot of different things.

Mostly I think it boils down to HIVE is super niche and you have to be here a long time to understand stuff.

Like I downvote and some people go absolutely insane. So how are we going to onboard normal people if people are not even allowed to dislike content?

Also, when I started powering up, so many people wanted me to do a deep dive into Steem and if I didn't want to people would basically call me stupid.

So we onboard people, they are not allowed to dislike content and they need to do extensive research on Steem (which I honestly still don't even really understand what Steem is).

It also doesn't help that so many people talk about Whales in such a weird way. Most normal people don’t even know what a crypto Whale even is. It would be WAY different if we talked about Blue Whales a lot, that would be cool. Or maybe we talk about Orcas? I guess Orcas are technically dolphins but still, Orcas are awesome!

Anyways, like things that should be fairly straight forward it blows people’s mind here. Like I have had someone complain that I upvote comments. So am I just supposed to upvote posts because that’s what most people do? Or can I like comments when people engage and I like seeing conversations?

I’m not sure this covers everything. There are probably more reasons I think we have a hard time onboarding and retaining users.

If people have been talking about Blue whales the whole time I’ve been here, please let me know. Wouldn’t be the first time I got confused anyways.

Long story short, nice to meet you! I mostly like commenting on HIVE, to me, comments are some of the best content.

Yeah definitely ok to upvote comments. Technically we can all do as we please on here except those that are disliked or can be offensive and/or hurtful to the "powers that be" / Hive whales. Nice to meet you too!

I try not to do things as a reaction when people hurt my feelings.

If you ever think I do please call me out for it on chain as I appreciate feedback and I am receptive to feedback.

I am under the impression this post is more for what stuff can be added to communities from a developers perspective.

To me, your comment is more about culture which I think would need to be handled on a community by community basis with the people who run those communities.

Well it's still a suggestion worth looking into to make Hive much better for everyone because we are all people here using this platform. 😁
