Heya. Saw that you have just joined hive through the twitter account. Good to have you here. I agree with your post and think that everything in life is better when we work together and try to improve things.
Hive is like that for social media. Two bits of advice for starting off.
Would be to make an introduction post using the tag #introducemyself
Would be to find a community that interest you to post into. You will find a lot more interaction among people with the same interests than just posting in general where nobody will see it.
If you feel lost or have questions you can get me on here or on twitter. I'm around a lot of the time. Have fun.
