I think G1 is good right now while it's in it's early stages - good people are meeting each other through it - but it will go south the way everything does if they don't start making decisions in a horizontal manner - my friend is from France and she is part of the original group - and she is going to France in a few weeks - staying with a lot of G1 users ... HIVE is a CIA front according to Wikileaks which makes sense because of the Splinterlands game and how much $$ changes hands - that's why I quit talking about what we are all doing in our communities, on here - because i can't trust the HIVE platform - but I think G1 is still good right now... for meeting good people near you - I am happy for you that you are growing your own food - you should read books by the people who were in on the beginnings of Findhorn in Scotland - they got guidance from Nature Spirits to create Findhorn - the books are by R. Ogilvie Cromby and others - The Magic of Findhorn is one book that was very inspiring, These books are all available on Libgen.is and / or through Annas-archive.org - I hope in France they are available for you. I feel that those of us with great faith will be ok through all this - and talking to Nature will bring in great blessings...I was given direction to draw from Nature again and as soon as it gets warm out I will begin that process...
