Your comment on beauty being in the eye of the beholder reminded me of a passage from Marcus Aurelius:

"And the ears of corn bending down, and the lion's eyebrows, and the foam which flows from the mouth of wild boars, and many other things- though they are far from being beautiful, if a man should examine them severally- still, because they are consequent upon the things which are formed by nature, help to adorn them, and they please the mind; so that if a man should have a feeling and deeper insight with respect to the things which are produced in the universe, there is hardly one of those which follow by way of consequence which will not seem to him to be in a manner disposed so as to give pleasure.

With that said - as I spend more time on Hive, and less time on other social media - I do find myself somewhat reluctant to go back. There is a pervasive negativity that seems to be incentivized by the nature of exchanges there, that isn't widely present here.

People certainly disagree and debate here - but the casual nastiness of over platforms seems to be discouraged here. That negativity does seem to have some inhibitory effect on creative expression.
