I think Hive is special because here we have the power to decide something, whether it's small or big, we can decide the future of things in a way. It's not like other networks where you just pass the time, here we really live Hive, being part of its history.
Another point I always like to touch on is that here I feel at home, because people love technology, anime, cryptocurrencies, programming, in other words, nerd stuff haha and I love that, I can talk to them without people looking at me suspiciously or like, "I'm talking about technology again", so this is my tribe!
On hive you can find people with the same interests that you. Often the size of the communities are not that big and it allows close contact which allows us to get out of anonimity and quickly let's us feel to be part of it!
