It offers a real alternative to corporate social media that seeks to exploit users whilst feeding them ads and content they do not really care about. It should not be up to a few billionaires to decide what we do online.

Spot on, I used to do fb in search of blue thumbs, given that up now.

A key part of Hive is communities where people can engage with those who share their interests... If we could move some communities away from reddit and Facebook it could give Hive a boost.

Thing is I think the hive and fb, are two different entities, here yes communities, brilliant, but one has to put the effort in, the fb crowd just shove a few shite snaps up and walk away. Don't know about reddit, opened an account years ago never used it, seems to be full of bollocks too.
