This is part of the reason that I like Hive, because there are a group of people who are willing to engage in the discussions at more depth, and there is some consistency over time. They aren't just dropping by on an individual post that happened to catch their attention, they are part of a rolling conversation that spans across time, topic and changes in the relationship itself.
Certainly, HIVE has been that social network that came to fill the void that reigned in other social networks, which in addition to monetising, you find a variety of points of view on subjects of rigour.
And, I think that this is part of the problem in culture at the moment, where even though we have plenty to complain about, we don't actually spend that much time investigating and building solid strategies to do anything to improve the situation. It is all about active complaint, passive solution.
I wouldn't mean labelling “the culture”, the problem is the great cultural variety that coexists on our great spaceship called Earth.
For me, the big issue is that we do not find common ground, because we are all “divergent”, everyone wants to impose their point of view without giving room to respect and find in the other's version a complement to our way of thinking, and together we can reach a favourable agreement -we are human-.
The problem prevading culture...
I am not in complete agreement, as there is also a drive to try and normalize all points of view, no matter how invalid they are. When there is a push to normalize paedophilia, something is very wrong.
There are so many things going on in the world that something really "smells very bad". What bothers me the most in these cases is that there are groups of people who support them, thus reaching the point of libertarianism camouflaged as rights.
There were probably always people supporting everything, just now they are able to connect, swell their numbers, and say it is normal.
