The thing is, every land holds certain death, and I'm sorry to open the discussion in that manner. We need to ensure the broodlings of the hive, like you, are not just nourished, but can see the true value in the exchange of words.
While borders and nations mean too much in the contemporary landscape, hive is truly a place without geographical borders. Squabbles between nations are not always a squabble between their peoples.
We have so much rich experience and knowledge to each share, which we don't get to do.
Some people are writing their own memoirs on hive, and they don't even know it yet. Others are giving us an exhaustive list of their passions and joys, but all of us extract value - not necessarily monetary, but whatever that chemical that floats around when a voice in your head, the voice of a stranger's words, are read in that hollow space and it says "Friend".
Most of the value I extract is not monetary... that HP/HBD part is just a game until now, at least for me. Not sure why, but I can't really take it seriously.
The memoirs part is very true, and the experience accumulated is impressive. I feel the same here, in my city, where many people come to retire - people with so many stories. The thing in Hive is that there is no repetition. My friends here repeat their stories often, but here in HIVE the story once told shall not be repeated. Which is somewhat sad, so something like a "Best of" like you suggested would quite interesting.
There is. I tell people the same stories in comments. People don't tend to read the whole context, the whole conversation, as they might on reddit. I like breaking that trend and injecting myself into the middle of other people's comments. It's fun :P
There is some repetition from people who spam and abuse, but it is easy to use your eyes to filter that stuff out.
With nine years of content, that is probably hard for me to do, and to go through, but if and when I do, I will publish as a peakd collection. (Which can also be viewed as a post) - I've started one for everything I've read this year, and that is probably a trend I'll continue each year.
Sounds like a lot of work, but I'd absolutely be a read of that work. I found an old post of one of your friends that he had written 9 years ago, and it was very interesting to see the change in his writing style and personality. We exchanged a few words about that on Discord, and it got me to understand a little more about that person. 9 years is a long time. People change, if they want to. Or life forces them to.
Well here is one of mine from six years ago: (I do have some stuff in my favourites)

Edit: I just read through the comments and there are more people that are lost in there... too :)
And a lot of the history of what came before hive, too.
That is a nice post, and an interesting perspective on the fulfillment in destruction. Things like that should be allowed to be re-posted - maybe with rewards burned or something. Just to keep it alive.
I might turn it into a video essay. That way, it will be new content - probably also without the typos :P
That sounds like an interesting idea! Though I, personally, am not a big fan of videos. I hate tutorial videos for example. I prefer it as a text, so I can easily scroll back and forth.
