First, thanks again to everyone who provided feedback on my post about BYTE token and Learn to Code tribe. Today I added another 500 BEE to the @learn2code account and I will add the final 500 BEE to cover the setup fees by the time the tribe launches at the end of this month.
I also have @politicalhive in the works for the June launch of the Political Hive tribe. This post is about the other tribe I am planning to launch this year after the Political Hive launch. From this post you can probably guess why late October would be an ideal time to launch this other tribe.
A few months ago, I found out that the gTLD .foundation domain existed. Being a fan of the SCP Foundation, of course, I registered the domain specialcontainmentprocedures.foundation. Now that I have this great domain I've decided to connect it to the Hive blockchain.
My first thought was to have a tribe for the SCP Foundation but I quickly discarded that idea. It's too niche and so far niche tribes like HypnoChain haven't done well on Hive. That's probably not a curse, but I know the SCP Foundation deals with curses sometimes, so best not to chance it.
Following that line of thought the next step was considering making the tribe about the SCP Foundation and other internet-related niches like The Backrooms. Then, considering making the tribe about creepypastas, ghost stories, and finally deciding just to make the tribe about the paranormal and supernatural.
It may seem like specialcontainmentprocedures.foundation isn't the best choice for a paranormal tribe's domain. However, in the SCP Foundation there is the Parawatch site. That's kind of what I want to model the Paranormal Hive tribe I am going to start after.
Anyway, I will be spending 8000 BEE to set up the tribe and an Outpost UI for the tribe so I get to choose the domain it connects to.
I am already planning on starting the paranormal tribe later this year on Hive. I am certain there will be enough interest to justify my spending 8000 BEE to get the tribe going. The kind of feedback I am looking for with this post is getting an idea of who might be posting certain kinds of paranormal content what kind of content to allow. Any amateur UFO researchers? Any ghost hunters? Anybody watch a lot of paranormal and supernatural YouTube videos?
Maybe some topics are more spiritual than paranormal. There's currently no religion tribe on Hive that I am aware of so maybe we should allow that kind of spiritual content in the paranormal tribe until a religion tribe is formed.
The Parawatch wiki I am going to model the paranormal tribe on also has conspiracy theories and I am inclined to allow that kind of content in the paranormal tribe also. On Hive currently a conspiracy theory post would be most relevant in the Lassecash tribe. In my opinion, it would be good to have the paranormal tribe act as an alternative to Lassecash for users who want to write conspiracy theory posts. The @lassecash community account has over nine and a half million LASSECASH tokens staked but has virtually no history of using those staked tokens to upvote content posted in their tribe. @paranormalhive could easily do better at rewarding quality content about conspiracy theories.
I am willing to be talked out of allowing conspiracy theories in the Paranormal Hive tribe if the consensus of feedback is to just keep it for "cryptid hunters and paranormal enthusiasts." I am set on moving forward with the paranormal tribe later this year. I've already reserved the SCP token for Paranormal Hive on hive-engine and created the @paranormalhive account.
So what kind of content will you be posting to a paranormal and supernatural tribe on Hive? What kind of content should be excluded?
