RE: The HIVE Tug of War

in LeoFinance3 months ago

This stinking shit-pile of a blockchain requires three different interfaces to use its full functionality, it used to be two, and will soon be four. I'm done. Hive sucks, fuck you all. Either move to Substack, or I'm never speaking to you again.

Sort:  

Basically everything I want to do one HIVE can be done on PeakD, Ecency, or Leo. Not and. Or. I see the main hive.blog and its wallet as more of an occasional use and backup option. Keychain makes things pretty painless. I don't get the hostility.

No, it really is AND, at least for me, and I've tried multiple browsers. But then, I guess Hive itself doesn't want me here if every interface loses half its functionality after a while. No, seriously, PeakD stopped working for the crypto side of things a long time ago and Keychain is completely useless. Ever wonder why I stopped participating in power-up days? That's why. But I can live without any of that, it's the fact PeakD has the better creator interface, but has become so slow that I can type out an entire sentence and then the letters won't start appearing on screen until after I've finished typing. Basically, I may as well create posts in MS Word and then copy them to PeakD, and that's assuming my pictures will even show up!
I'm not the only one with these complaints, BTW, so it definitely isn't just me, half the people I follow really have stopped posting. If you don't have these issues, lucky you, but I think it's time you accepted that this is a dying platform. WordPress had a similar issue, with lots of people experiencing issues that made it impossible to live with, but which everyone else was like "I never had anything like that happen," so only the lucky (or stubborn) loyalists still use it. Hive is but one chapter behind in the exact same story.
Also, been in a really foul mood lately, but I will not unload my personal problems here. Those will be in my farewell post. Unless Hive somehow gets its act together soon, I will leave the platform before year's end.

I haven't had issues with PeakD. Firefox, if that matters. I know my ancient Vista machine revived with Linux used to be weird about texting entry, but that was a combination of bad hardware and bad internet. I don't have any way to diagnose what's happening for you, but perhaps the PeadD discord is in order? Leo has been buggy for me, but the bugs are getting squashed but by bit. Still, if HIVE is not working, I understand leaving. Just don't burn bridges.

Ahh, Kaja, I miss your posts on here, but it's all good, I read your lovely wordsmithing and heart it over on the Substack realm too😊

This isn't the first time Hive has rendered itself unusable, so maybe I'll be back. Then again, I'm starting a new chapter in my life, so while I'll have plenty of interesting stuff I could share, I probably won't have time to. Offline is the new online!
