I always compare Hive to the wild west. There are people with a little power who like to enforce how they think it should be, but it should be about freedom. What is considered abuse can be a matter of opinion in some cases, but why not have short posts? Most people online never read long blogs or articles. We want a slice of that here. Things like DBuzz and Leo Threads could be part of that.

I keep talking about building communities, but I think that is the way forward. Light painting may be a niche interest, but if you can get people from around the world together it can add up. That is what the internet excels at. I grew up at a time when it was hard to find people beyond your own neighbourhood who shared your interests. When I got into computers I had to buy magazines to find out what was happening. Things have changed a lot. I think Hive could be the next generation of online socialising.
