RE: Algorithm vs. Community? I Choose Community.

in #motherhood4 years ago

I'm kind of a gamer, moreso when I was little. I went from video games to card games. But Hive reminds me of a game called Everquest. It was the first ever mmorpg. The game felt like a big open endless world where anything is possible. I have the same feeling with Hive. We control our destiny here, what we see, the connections we make. We do not have some AI or 3rd party molding our perception of community. The communities here are raw and real. It feels like we have come full circle. We use to be a peer to peer when communicating. Before long algos turned that on it's head. And now we are past algos back to peer to peer. Thanks for all the advice on parenting, it will come in handy.

Sounds a bit like 'The Oasis' in Ready Player One.

My kids were watching Ready Player One yesterday (for the 500th time, maybe) while I was driving them to a soccer tournament. It's the first time I've 'watched' it (in this case, listened to it) since becoming active on Hive. The Battle of Castle Anorak at the end of the film has some resemblance to the battle for decentralization that led to the Hive hardfork from Steem.


The following statement from I-R0k at the start of the battle seems salient:

No man is a failure who has friends.
