What a beautifully written and constructed post. A wise, non-hysterical examination of what Hive means to you. And you are all that matters, your choices.
Hive's huge advantage over any other social media is that it is flexible to be whatever an individual wants it to be. This can also be a curse sometimes, but only if one allows it to be so.
Stay happy and thank you for sharing. It looks like I need to have a drift through your back catalogue now!
