Introduction

I started compiling these lists in December 2020 to continue something @pennsif used to do as I think it helps bring the community together. Since then I have found lots more people to include. @HiveSQL has been really useful for this. I use Python with beem (by @holger80) in a script to generate what you see here. Some of the post is manual as I like to include some commentary and I will keep tweaking it. I am open to suggestions for improvements. I aim to do a fresh list on the first Saturday of each month.

I also rely on the community to let me know of more people to include who may not have obvious account metadata. You can find me in the @teamuksupport Discord to discuss it or drop me a comment.

The list will include anyone living in the UK as well as Brits who have moved abroad. Inclusion on this list does not mean I recommend people, but I will remove accounts if they are known to be abusing Hive or are falsely reporting their location. If you have lost control of your account through phishing or other means then let me know so that I can update your entry.

Previous editions

What it means

The numbers above are for those who had posted or commented in the previous month. In the lists below I break each region into three lists:

Active as above.
Just voting. I will guess that a lot of these use automatic votes, e.g. HiveVote. Previously there were some that appear to have been compromised as they vote for known abusers. Those are now excluded until I hear that they have recovered control.
Inactive in the last month, but most have done something since Hive started. We can hope to bring them back.

I want to count people rather than accounts as some have several. I can include those in brackets if you want. Let me know if you want me to update your listing. You can be as specific as you like about your location.

Commentary

This is my twelfth #BitList post. Over a year the number of active people has more than doubled, so I am happy with that. It is from a combination of people coming back to Hive and me finding more to add to the list. My @HiveSQL script helps me find people who use a UK location in their profile and I find a few each week with that. Some of those are new joiners, but there are others who have just been inactive since before I started compiling the list. If we could get double the numbers again in a year that would be great.

Next weekend is @Hivefest. I hope a lot of Brits will be attending. We could be having other virtual meetups in AltspaceVR or on whatever video conferencing app people want to use. I also hope to see real life meetups soon. That could be something for next year.

As part of #NaPodPoMo I am creating daily podcasts and have done one today about how I create these posts.
