What are people's honest opinions on Hive. I know alot of people like to criticise the network but it has grown and developed in leaps and bounds and achieving significant milestone stones.

So much so that Facebook, Twitter and the likes are attempting to move into the crypto space with curating and remittance rewards.

If Hive wasn't a threat these mainstream social media giants would be mentioning Hive but the lack of the mention means Hive poses a significant risk to their organisational structures.

I think HIVE is much better than the other social media sites. We are also developing quite well even if we are under the radar. Personally I think fast and feeless transactions are the best part.

Honest answer: FB is still safe for people on specific contexts while Hive can be totally unsafe for kids and women. As much as I see twitter and FB politically left leaned and full of censorship. There is a safety and option to have convo between specific set of people safely. Not so on hive.

I disagree because Hive's full potential hasn't been unlocked as yet. On FB and I see it often with my wife in politics she has dick pics sent to her, abuse, attack and significant trolling.

Also trending posts will be shoved down people's throats without checking if it is what is wanted. On Hive none of that content is in your face you need to search for it. Also you can down vote people and if you seek help from say @flagrewards or @guiltyparties they can come and downvote content that is threatening in nature or violent. Enough downvotes silences the offender and removes their content from view.

On FB it relies on a bot that fails most the time. But Hive has more potential to tackle these issues than centralised social media.

Hive's potential maybe unlocked but trying to bet on it is suffering. Think about it. We can lock profiles on facebook, we can block people on facebook. You can't do anything such on hive. Plus what dick pics are sent to me, which people are stalking me, attacking me is visible to all the people on hive blockchain. You have to reach to the those two clean up accounts for downvotes which still doesn't remove offensive content but hides it how does exactly solves problem?. FB doesn't require any such, you block the offender and move on. No kids safe content or no kids safe mode on hive either.

I think comparing hive with FB or any other nonblockchain social media wont be fair to both sides. As much as we can be optimistic about HIVE, some social media sites are getting in depth for privacy and safety problems and solving it lot better than blockchain based social media.

People can raise a proposal to have that feature included.

I came for the crypto, and I stayed for the independent spirit as demonstrated by the break from Steemit. Being censorship-resistant is important, and more so for a decentralized social media site.

Personally I try to stay in my lane, but I like knowing that if I decide to switch to a different lane I still have a forum to express other views.

It's not censorship resistant though it's just more in line with actual life. If someone acts like an idiot in life you can't go end them that is illegal. Similarly on this platform people's accounts won't be suspended or removed but individual posts and rewards will be removed to discourage bad behaviour. Just like in real life, if you don't play by the rules everything will be bad.

What are the rules? Dpos with elections sets them from the majority of the community.

Hive Block Chain is life and accountability and reputation is brought into it. A great system.
