Good evening, buzzers! Well, Hivians? I'm not sure if there are any buzzers left? It seems the sloth has won this one! For now, at least!
Hello, sloth tech support. Have you tried turning it off and then on again?
It's a Hive-Engine staple!
How does one little sloth fix everything in this new age of AI magnitude?
I'm a little lost, if I'm to admit it. I mean, the idea was great, build a community, bring buzz and combine the efforts of all the little sloths out there trying to make it.
It's interesting how things play out; there are numerous crypto projects, yet they receive little overall support. Everyone has their niche, their lane, and they stick to it. Not many people venture out and support others, and even when they do, life, commitments, and responsibilities often take precedence over helping others in this digital world.
I'm as guilty of it as any sloth, as much as I have the buzz, sometimes it's easier sitting in the sloth lane and watching the world go by. Sometimes, even turning the laptop on seems like too much of an adventure; it's easier to settle on the sofa with my phone and mind-numbingly scroll through brain-rot content on X or YouTube!
I'm once again making a push for the sloth to find his buzz. I feel like that's the cycle I'm stuck in. Say I'll buzz, slothly wain until the sloth takes over. Feel bad for slothing, say I'll buzz, then slothly go back to 'norms'.
Not a bad effort from Gemini AI, considering my prompt. I mean, it gets the general gist of what I was after. Soon, AI will take over the marketing world for sure!
Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah, Sloths..buzzing...community building...
Heck, not long after starting the Sloth buzz dream...or just before...I tried to turn my life into a more nomadic and travelling lifestyle. I fail miserably at that, too. In this country, there's not enough good (mobile) internet infrastructure. I found myself struggling to concentrate and maintain my online presence, which slowly drained my energy. Even switching from a PC to a laptop was a significant decline in my productivity. The thought of having to get the laptop out, start it up, only to find that the power was drained. Looking for the charger, plugging it in, waiting for it to get enough juice...Then, having internet connection issues...everything feels so much slower! Even writing that makes it sound so silly, so many excuses for not 'just doing it'. That's the mindset I'm trying to push myself back into: just do it!
I've thought about Starlink, it could be the answer to my connection needs...but at almost £100 a month, it's out of reach unless I can also find something to cover the costs! Someone buy some slothbuzz tokens or something!!! (Although, I'd also need to take funds out from that, which I never have; heck, I don't technically even sell any SlothBuzz at all, as they're all minted as content rewards!)
I know what you're thinking, you're a sloth! Or so you keep telling everyone! Why would being slow be a disadvantage? Well, there's being a sloth, taking things easy, enjoying the slower pace, and there is SLOW! No one wants to be slow! I mean, when I get the buzz to do something, I want to do it! I don't want to be hindered by things outside my control, slowing me down. If the reason I'm slothing is purely due to me being a sloth, I can handle that. If it's due to internet or computer issues, then it's draining.
I mean... the sloth.buzz site has been down for some weeks now.. It's supposed to be hosted by the Hive-engine servers, but they seem to be letting us down. That was the reason we initially moved to our own servers, but then the dev had to shut those down... I know what you're thinking: host it yourself! And, I guess I'm slothly coming to that conclusion myself. So I need to take the steps to learn and grow!
Currently, nothing in the sloth buzz community is really 'working'. Everything is still there, the idea still lives, but the practical side is presently non-existent. There's no real slothbuzz community, no real website and no bot sharing sloth tips! I mean...is it even worth continuing? Should I stop chasing the slothbuzz dream and focus on building my own brand as slothlyd, or help build other communities already growing? Or go fully into learning and growing on Hive, getting sloth.buzz back, hosting the bot, maybe even becoming a witness again, either on Hive, Hive-engine or both? I need to really spend some time working out how to best accomplish my goals!
Should I put all effort into this one account, or continue to spread it through this, slothbuzz and associated community accounts?
In the crypto world, I've always found something to do, usually by supporting a community or game and trying to help them grow. It sounded like a dream to have my own thing to nurture and grow. Reality bites hard sometimes! And...meh...whine whine wine..win? More wine, less whine, and let's win? Sounds good, although I'm not a fan of wine, and I love to whine! Time to shine! Ok, I'm tempted to delete the last 4 paragraphs of random gibberish, no one really wants to read that...but I think I needed to type it, to read it, to really listen to myself?
Thoughts are so fleeting, one minute I'm here, the next I've buzzed over to there! Sometimes I need the sloth, I need the time, but I also want to buzz!
Maybe that's the point, perhaps I'm always too concerned about what others think? I should focus on bringing myself up, creating value in myself and then I'll bring value to what I'm building.
Sloth and steady, finding that buzz?
I've some thinking to do...as always. So, for now, here's me 'bringing the buzz'. Getting things back to where they should be, and making things happen! The same old sloth or a new me?
I think I've said the same things about 10 times on hive over the last few years already. Let's hope this time is different! For now, I've created a post after a few weeks of procrastinating (again). All I can do is aim to continue, one post, comment, or like at a time! Let's find the buzz again!
Who knows, I might even push myself to learn enough to host the website and bot myself, bring some responsibility to my feet and force myself to push forward with things! It's too easy to slip back into the 'sloth' life. Always some excuse! No more little sloth! Time to put on some big boy pants and grab the world by the....buzz!
Until next time,
Sloth out!
