I think your content is interesting. Like you said it’s your perspective and hive has a lot of perspectives that are willing to join the conversation. I was just talking to my wife why it feels like everything in the world is falling apart. My thought was the lack of community. In America we have created society so focused individual. It’s a dog eat dog world and that mentality is starting to deteriorate everything around us. I think hive has been a safe haven or maybe it’s my feed has been safe haven. The people I talk with daily on this platform are just looking for a conversation not a way to beat you or scam you. That’s been refreshing when the whole world feels like a battle ground.
Indeed it is refreshing to have conversations and opportunities to share and chat with people on a deeper level. It's not always possible and can sometimes be tiring but doing that numerous times a week is way beyond what most people are doing these days I think and that's a shame!
Separation of people into tribes and individual groups is indeed like splitting the country into the weakest links. It's easier to cut a thread on a pair of tattered jeans than it is to cut into the meat of it and the powers that shouldn't be are well aware of that.
I get that tribes comment. Of everyone is isolated and fighting with each it’s easier for the powers that control country to do what they want. If we could get over ourselves and actually care about others. That sense of community could fix a lot. However it just seems to be getting worse and people are just getting bitter and depressed.
And then there is also the bring those around down, so you don't have to climb as high. It is a sad state of affairs.
For sure! Most of the "social" internet is about point scoring, not discussion. It is very much like a safe haven here and those who come in with all the baggage of centralized media looking for drama, don't last long.
Don’t even get me started on internet drama… I had to delete X because it was getting so bad. Not to mention the YouTube and twitch streamer drama. It’s all too much. I’m reading more and gaming to fill the time now.
I have a friend that does the same - but then keeps picking it up again after a few months. Just imagine if all the people who spend their time creating and reading drama, did something useful...
It's been tough but I have had it off my phone for a month and it's been good for my mental health.
