Hive Statistics

Seeking the Irish

I have been producing the #BritList for about two years where I look for Brits on Hive and generate a post that indicates how many are active. I have offered to do this for other countries, but have not had much interest to far. I use a mix of @Hivesql and Beem with Python to find people and produce the post.

I ran some searches on other countries a while back to see how active they were. I am not sure I looked at Ireland then, but here is a list I generated today. Not a huge number, but in proportion to the population it may not be much different to the UK list. I searched for 'Ireland' in the profile plus a few major towns. I welcome suggestions of what else I could look for.

On the Brits list I include ex-pats. I am sure plenty of Irish people are now living elsewhere, but I will leave it to others to compile that list.

@ablaze - Ireland @ammonite - Dublin, Ireland @anitahorvatirl - Killorglin Ireland @blanchy - Ireland @colmedwardsphoto - Dublin, Ireland * @fiveboringgames - Dublin or Berlin @harlotscurse - Dublin @huckleberrie - Ireland @killerwot - Ireland @libertystrikes - Ireland @lukecreed - Ireland @martina-sigulin - Ireland @mitchhunter - Dublin, Ireland @natalia-irish - Ireland * @niallon11 - Ireland @noniboots - Ireland @paulag - Ireland @scolari-ire - Dublin, Ireland @speko - Ireland @thebalanceguy - Ireland @theisacoin - Ireland @wallpaperflower - Ireland @woman-onthe-wing - Donegal, Ireland Total: 23 Posting: 16 Voting: 21

The two with a * are on an old copy of the Hivewatchers blacklist I downloaded. One of them is just posting and never commenting and the other just votes with a small stake. We have plenty of of accounts out there running on automatic.

I remember seeing there used to be some meetups in Dublin. Do they still happen?

I have not heard from @paulag in a while. She used to be quite active and we chatted on at least on Zoom virtual meetup. It would be good to have more of those.

On a related topic there is a potential London meetup next month. @tdctunes is playing a gig at Cafe 1001 in Brick Lane on Thursday 15th December. People can meet there beforehand to chat and stay for the music if they like. The gig is at 8pm. It was suggested that people could meet from about 4pm. We are discussing it on the Brits Discord if you are interested.

Ahh good shout. We’ve no connections in Ireland apart from a mysterious one, which I can’t tell you much about. I’ve a strong Welsh ancestry, though I’m not Welsh was born in Winchester and my parents are English, my grandmother was Welsh and grandad English.

Thanks for the meetup/gig mention Steve - and nice initiative to list Irish Hivers.

As a total aside - I actually have an Irish surname - my great great grandfather came over from Ireland and then went on to be in charge of the construction of the Forth Bridge and Southend pier. So I'm from a family of Irish engineers.

No links to Ireland now though other than my name.
@sidekickmatt(77)· 1389d
I am one-quarter Irish!
@thebalanceguy(61)· 1389d
Thanks for this little list @steevc I've followed everyone on the list, as well as the others named in comments.. be nice to see the irish side of hive growing.
@ablaze(76)· 1389d
Good man @steevc. That's a great list you've pulled together, at least half of whom I didn't know about. I won't make it over to London on the 15th, but thanks for the heads up 👌
@demotruk(75)· 1389d
Don't forget @eroche

There's also several others who used to go to meetups in Dublin but may be inactive or dormant now.
@ammonite(73)· 1389d
Great List @steevc. Look at them coming out of the woodwork. Great to have the contacts. There are also @demotruk and @beanz. We must do a meetup someday again.
@libertystrikes(44)· 1389d
yeah let's have a Hive meetup in Dublin.
@meesterboom(81)· 1389d
Beware the Irish, they bring nothing but trouble... 🤣
@ganjafarmer(76)· 1389d
Yeah it's really hard getting my buddy going out here on hive.

Sigh.
@deirdyweirdy(72)· 1389d
We used to have Steemit meetups in Dublin once a month in the good old days but demotruk, the driving force behind them, emigrated and I myself moved into the country so I'm not sure if someone else took up the slack.
@revisesociology(82)· 1389d
15th I'll be there! X
@cwow2(73)· 1389d

I thought about doing it with Danish people. But we are 4 I know in total including myself haha
@anitahorvatirl(70)· 1389d
This is amazing. We can connect now with each other. Thank you

🍕 PIZZA !

I gifted $PIZZA slices here: @killerwot_(1/10) tipped @steevc (x1)

_{Please vote for pizza.witness!}
@blanchy(75)· 1389d
Jesus @steevc I wasn't aware there were so many of us. We haven't had a meet up in some time from the best of my knowledge but I would be keen to have one. @trucklife-family is Irish and lives in Spain.
@killerwot(74)· 1389d
That's really cool, there's actually more Irish on Hive than I thought.

I got a few people on here, but, so far only 3 of the 4 have posted and none have done more than one.

!PIZZA !LOLZ
