While HIVE is a social network it is a big difference between it and others... If you compare it to IG or FB, you will realize that you are there (if you are 😃), because all your friends are there... I mean, friends that you know from before, your neighbors, your family... Here on HIVE, as we are still so small community, most people come by "accident", without knowing anyone, and we are building NEW connections and friendships...
It's like being on FB when there are 5K people... It gets easier when your "real-life" friends join too... I hope that will happen somewhere in the future... 🙂
Right. FB has a broader network effect. Many of us than join Hive in this regard it's because we're bold and curious enough lol, joining a network we're you literally know no one previously and having to build connections with individuals from different parts of the world.
