RE: Why is HIVE about speculation and not about community and content?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I don't have all the answers, but I still believe Hive has a lot to offer and I will keep promoting it as an alternative to corporate platforms (that I try to avoid).

This is why I was thinking Leo or one of the other communities that are built upon hive might be a more appropriate comparison. There seems to be a bunch dropped out which I guess is due to the low HIVE value, but niches are still here, and with less of a crypto emphasis perhaps they can grow organically through interest rather than income?

Decentralization is another benefit, but as we have seen with Mastodon and Bluesky, it has been the content creators in the end who attracted the people and not the tech :)

Leo have experimented with ads and I think peakd are too for non-Hivers. The dapps have to find ways to fund themselves. It is in their interest to attract more users.

I like Mastodon, but you depend on whoever runs your instance. I don't plan to run my own as that is extra work I don't need. I've not looked at Bluesky yet and don't really want to take on another platform. I've been on lots and seen several die from lack of income or through Google getting bored with them. I hope Hive is here to stay.

I should write about why I like Bluesky but TL;DR many of my reasons for liking BS (ugh) are the same as I like Hive :)

Originally I was tempted by Mastodon, and even bought a domain makersocial.org to run a server, but then I saw so many horror stories of people brigading servers to "test" the moderation (botting with the n-word etc), plus apparent legal risk around moderation, that I backed off
