Really nice post :)

I have 2 issues with social media and the internet right now

1. Local harassment amd kick back when I write online
2. Suspicion of the internet after a few extended hacks that went beyond trolling and into actual fucking terrorism - lost everything and all my tech and couldn't send emails, DMs or even get an Uber at 10pm at night in strange places - and more

So am:

1. Half hearted about working online, as a sole proprietor, again - over ten years of tech hours and really hard work gone in one fell swoop *poof
2. Skeptical that my stuff will even be visible mostly and not messed up and destroyed again - makes an artist reluctant to share work online if it is just going to be vandalized
3. Just suspicious of engaging online now. Half the time I don't even believe I'm speaking to the correct people - the fun is ruined permanently

What does excite me about Hive?

The human-ness used to and still does. Seeing regular humans creating original content and sharing more honest pieces of their lives - less rock star mainstream bullshit and more original work and sharing

What I'd Enjoy? Hmmmmm... I have ideas :D

Better AI. Our own. AI for humans. Our own search engine.

I have an idea for an AI app / chat bot but only work in person these days.

I prefer to know who I'm dealing with and have proper human interaction. Talk in person. Etc.

Total fuck up here and devastating. In full.

I hope Hive continues despite the bullshit thats become acceptable in mainstream communities and that has been normalized for far too long
