RE: Custom interfaces for custom content?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
My thoughts on this are there is something to be said for relative ambiguity. Right now we are pretty free to do what we want. If we started getting some of the extreme views in here it is also going to bring more eyes and in the end more regulation or regulators trying to shut us down. That is something I definitely don't want. Separate interfaces would be awesome. I personally don't want to see any of that Alt one way or the other stuff.

Yep. the eyes on is a sword that cuts both ways and it doesn't really matter which gateway it comes through, once there is attention, there will also be negative attention.
I don't want to consume any of that stuff either and I do not go near it since I am not on other platforms at all, but, if positive attention comes to Hive on its capabilities, then all kinds of groups are going to leverage it anyway. Because of this, it is wise to build the required tools before they are needed.

Yes, I agree. Building the framework would be smart!

At the very least, there will be a choice, and additional attention to HIVE, which is never enough.

I think there is a difference between good attention and bad attention though.

Bad attention is not always categorically bad. In all the bad, the leash is a part (dominant) part of the bad.

Let them bring us down them, if they can. I don’t walk on eggshells for the legacy system we can either stand on our own two feet or not. We have had whistleblowers on Hive. Front ends are free to do what they want. But so are the users. It comes down to personal responsibility. If you don’t want any controversial content in your front end or community, don’t show it, it’s that simple. Hive isn’t one website. It’s a protcol like the internet. You don’t ban people from the internet.
Due to the way most people interact with Hive, they don't fully recognize this yet. It will become more apparent soon I hope.
With every challenge, there is the possibility to meet and overcome it.
Trust me, I understand what you are saying. I see someone mentioned it though, most people don't understand that (especially politicians), so when/if they start coming against "us", it is going to be Hive as a whole. I don't typically post controversial stuff, so it doesn't impact me too much. I know you have first hand experience in this realm however :). Aren't there some countries that ban people from the Internet? I wasn't saying I am against it, I was just saying that becoming a haven for free speech won't be without its headaches.

If they come after us I welcome it. If we can't withstand the attacks of politicians then we have no place on web 3. I will rather be pushed to the breaking point and we either make it or not, then try to play to the whims of regulators. That isn't what Hive is about.
Btw, any politician that attacks Hive would send us viral overnight. Parler is so famous because they are being attacked. The difference is, when Hive is attacked, it won't go down. So it would be the single best advertisement in the history of Hive.
Parler cannot find a new host but do they really need it? They can start Hive-engine tribe on parler.com. If someone told them...

Good points. The fact that you have significantly more to lose than I do if Hive were to somehow be banned or regulated and you still have the opinion you do is very insightful.
