RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 28: The gift

in Weekend Experiences4 years ago

A thoughtful gift bashadow and I'm sure BD would be pleased to receive such a gift.

You know, when I cam up with this topic I had fun gifts in mind but soon realised the topic will/could go much further than that. I guess like my gifts to Dave and Tom...There's a deeper reason behind it, not just fun...I have gotten to know those chaps, and many others, in a way that seems more real than any other social media platform could do; It seems real, more real. You know?

Anyway, I wish I could have given many gifts as I have a lot of people I'd like to show my appreciation to, yourself included, but I kept it to the two...I may ads a few in over the weekend though, we'll see.

Thanks for joining in week on week, I appreciate it.

I personally think Hive is a real social media place/outlet. Most of the other places that call themselves social media are more Anti-social than anything else. I know that over on steem personal attacks sometimes happened, (that is anti-social behavior), so far I have not seen as much of the main stream social media activities on Hive. (very little bullying, name calling, or general trollish activity), it is what kind of makes Hive more social than any of the other so called social outlets.

It is a good topic.

Oh yeah, I agree for sure. I was on Facebook for a little while, until I saw the light, and the error of my ways, but in truth I hardly ever posted anything and before long it all became so negative that I just left in spectacular fashion...Meaning that I couldn't retrieve that account if I tried...(Changed emails passwords etc. the threw it all away.) Not that I'd ever want that trash back in my life.

I've not seen much anti-social behaviour here, a little sure, but nowhere near what that other blockchain had...Jeez, just thinking back to it gives me a headache.

Here on hive...I don't know bashadow, it just seems more real. I was talking to azircon today at HiveFest about this, the realness of it all. He agreed. I'm glad you like the topic...It just felt right this week. I'm not sure what next week will hold, Friday being Christmas and all...I'll have to think of something but I don't think there'll be many around. We'll see. Thanks for you involvement this week though.

, (that is anti-social behavior)

There is a phrase right out of my playbook. Literally. I started using it with my then 15 year old stepdaughter (cough. She's 50 now) and use it with Sam now. I wanted a phrase that wasn't ordinary to signify that the hearer had just stepped over the line. It works a LOT better with Sam :)

Thank you for your engagement on this post, you have recieved ENGAGE tokens.
