About our guest, Hivetrending 🌟
Alright friends…@hivetrending joins us this week. He has been on chain since March 2020, the month Hive was born. He is a builder, and chances are you have used something he made without ever knowing it was him.
There's the pizza. Back in 2021 he helped cook up Hive Pizza in the PizzaLab, with the $PIZZA tipping token, the pizzabot that drops slices in comment sections all over the chain, a curation guild, and the pizza.witness node. These days the guild also runs MOON, a space strategy game where each universe ends up as a Hive post.
There's the tool shelf. Live streams of every new account, transfer and comment. Hive Fireworks. Hive Orchestra, where every operation on the chain plays a note. RSS feeds for any Hive blog. A random post button. A health check for nodes. All free, all on GitHub.
And there's the people side. He writes HiveToday, the weekly ecosystem newsletter. He hands out HP delegations to new Bees every month. And he built Love-Scout, a bot that welcomes new authors in their own language, and now also finds creators who are quietly drifting away and gives them a follow before they go. His words: welcoming newcomers is important, helping people stay is even more important.
Welcome to Hive Thrive Community Hour, Episode 79
Hive Thrive Community Hour is our weekly town hall for builders, critics, curators, and anyone still stubborn enough to care about where this chain is heading. No scripts. No talking points handed out in advance. Just open conversation.
🎙️ What we'll talk about:
• extra cheese, no key pastes
• what the chain sounds like on a busy day
• catching people before they leave
• the newsletter with no byline
• yellow jacket by 2026?
There may be hard truths.
There may be laughs.
There may be mild discomfort.
Come hang out with us
Hive Thrive isn't meant to be just another background podcast.
We treat it like a live town hall for the blockchain —
• a place where devs, witnesses, curators, creators, and critics can speak in the same room
• a space to explore the tools, tensions, and governance structures actually shaping Hive
• and a setting where honest conversation can replace years of silence, fear, or misunderstanding
We're here to —
✅ Help people understand what's actually happening behind the scenes
✅ Surface the real stories behind Hive's institutions and projects
✅ Talk openly about drama, governance friction, and systemic issues
✅ Look for ways forward that strengthen the network instead of dividing it
