Maybe this can help inspite of powering down what about a funding from Hive like what others community do.You have helped a lot of Asean hivers and I think all of Asean Hivers or those who are willing to help to invite newbie onboards to grant the funding from Hive and as well as projects for this community.
I have thought about this in the past, but in order to get the votes for that you have to befriend Hive whales by spending tons of time in Discord and courting them with comments on their posts. I hate to admit I don't enjoy reading the content of the majority of Hive whales, and in private chats I have even faced some resistance to the growth of our community from higher ups.
ASEAN Hive is self-funded by grassroots means, and in a way that is what makes us awesome and sustainable. It's nice to not have to worry about proposal votes to keep ASEAN Hive going. With the current size I am able to take a modest salary for my time and still have HIVE and HBD left to keep growing the community.
You all have made it possible, from the smallest to the largest delegations, and through quality content and engagement, we have remained at the top of the Hive Communities for a several years now. 🙏🙏🙏
