Congratulations on joining the orca pod. I hope to get there this year, helped by selling all my Steem. Last lot came across today. We need more big accounts to spread the rewards. Have fun.

Thank you - the Steem power down helped a lot. I'm sure you'll soon be here.
The middle-class looks like it's growing well.
Fun is definitely on the cards :)
I notice the numbers of each level are actually decreasing over time. I guess some people are powering down. We need to find others to take their place. I have signed up a few new people, but it's a long road to dolphin. Will keep helping people get to at least minnow.
Yes - even the Orcas were down in the stats on the following day. I wonder how much COVID-19 has affected this, I guess it's difficult for a lot of people financially. Plus it's been a long messy separation from Steem, but that's done and dusted now for many people. Perhaps we can move on now and start to build.
I saw you did a comparison of Hive and PeakD users the other day - do you have any figures for esteem (or ecency, I think it is now)?
According to @dapp.com and @stateofthedapps eSteem/ecency is fourth after Splinterlands, Peakd, Hive.blog (here and here. It's still just a few thousand people overall. We need more Splinterlands players to be social.
We need to find the next wave of new users. I am talking to people who are actively recruiting in various areas. Places like Africa and Venezuela ought to have plenty who are interested, but they seem sensitive to the current price as they need the money. Just increasing the active users ought to help as it provides a bigger audience for quality content creators. We have to work on getting a better reward distribution. I'm happy for less people to give me automatic votes. They could follow the @tenkminnows trail instead as that is all small accounts.
People need to use communities to build engagement. People can just be social as they would on other platforms. I know the money matters, but making it fun helps.
I won't give up on Hive. I have hopes it won't be corrupted like Steem was, but nothing is perfect and greed is a powerful force.
Oh, thanks - we have quite a lot of people in The Ink Well who use esteem.
The communities offer a lot of opportunities because they're more targeted, I think it's quite exciting. I'm also interested in what HF24 will bring. Have you heard much?
I'm not sure HF24 will mean major changes for general users, but it's good we have active development.
