I just read that story a few hours ago. I just shook my head and moved on. Not surprising. Zuck has been floundering for awhile.
Hive and decentralized platforms are the future.
Yet, people still don't see the value in buying and owning a piece of the platform they use.
I don't know if they don't see the advantage, they just think it's too complicated. We need to make signing up easier and hide the complexity of the keys which I think scares off a lot of new users. If we can make Hive as easy to sign up for as Facebook, think of how much more growth we will see. We now have Hive Instagram (Liketu) and Hive Twitter (Threads), and of course we've always had Hive Wordpress, the regular blogging engine. Hive has so much for people. Just need to make it easier to get into.
I agree it should be simpler, but it is not that hard now, is it? I think Leo and ocdb are signing people up - Splinterlands too.
Is @howo still active with this?
Well the project works, but it's not actively maintained, I'll jump in to fix it if it breaks but adding new features is not in the horizon
Hope you are well mate :)
You too ! :)
