Agreed... to a degree. A large part of the Hive population tend to be absolutely terrified of anything that resembles "centralized," but it becomes an extreme polarity that ignores/forgets the

Why not have a category of "light" accounts for newcomers; allowing them to use Hive on a simplified basis, while the original account creator holds the keys, and the new user only gets the posting

Target specific communities: Rather than broad marketing, focus on communities that would most benefit from censorship resistance That, in particular, stood out. It goes back to taking a breath and looking

Thanks for supporting my content; I appreciate it!

Thanks @sunscape! With the way the economic situation in the States is unfolding these days, it seems wise to have something set aside... and just saving from current income is impossible, given inflation

Well, this is cool! I'll bite and participate in some way. Hope some people get involved... we really haven't had any significant organized activities since Asher ran the Curation and Engagement Leagues.

It is true... we tend to "cluster" around our interests and hobbies, and what have you. Which suggests that repetition isn't really the problem if you're targeting your interest group... it's

Good point. The "sheep effect" often comes into play. People are often more concerned with "being part of" a group, rather than holding fast to their own authentic beliefs. Which can

Snooooooook! Maybe they should, but I doubt they will... still, we can but dream, right?

Part of my motivation at the moment is precisely that "that moving sale" is getting closer and closer on the horizon, and there's a lot of stuff I just need to pass along, and a lot of project

I would agree that these fictional "realities" are simply constructs unlikely to fit in the actual world. But they do give us some basis of ideas to derive from; elements to strive for and work

I'm skeptical of the "universal" part of UBI. It might be more viable if it comes with conditions. Like our friend Chris gets food stamps... he can't just buy beer and cigarettes. Sure, he can

We'll see when/if ours come down a bit. We're laboring somewhat under the strange cage/free-roaming laws of the United People's Socialist Republic of Washington State... just makes it slower to filter

I do remember, back on our legacy chain, how part of what made me excited about the community's earliest day was this idea of it being "The Internet of Human Stories." A repository of people,

Thank you! It was a fun thing to do, for a while...

It was a lovely way to keep from having to go to a "real" job and sit in an office, every day!

There were quite a few things to find, including natural jade washed down from Canada, pieces of pottery and china, electrical parts from ships, random driftwood in the (approximate) shapes of fish and

All those notifications drive me crazy! In most cases, I reject app requests to notify me of anything. I'm just not afraid that I am "missing" anything of significance.

Yes, the cats graciously allow us to live in their house... I have typically done pretty well at reinventing myself, but it has practically always been by necessity, not by choice. I'm sure I'll figure

That's very impressive! I already have two Etsy shops for my artwork, and for my "found objects" people use to make art and jewelry... but both of those are physical products and it has been
