I agree with everything you say in this post, especially regarding the fact that Twitter is nothing more than a database, and little more than that. And basically, I think Twitter's strength was, as you said, providing certain features for users in their database.
And I also think that Twitter's main weakness lies precisely in its centralized nature, because the main consequence of this is that it takes away freedom of expression; when it is supposed to, as a social network, be a means of free expression, where people speak their minds without fear of being kicked off the platform.
In this sense, Hive has all the potential to take the lead and displace Twitter in the not too distant future; and its users could end up switching to Hive when they really understand the great advantages of Hive with respect to Twitter (and with respect to any other most famous and important social networks of the moment).
I think that Elon Musk's problem with Twitter is revealing just the tip of the Iceberg of all Twitter problems, because they are only focusing on the bot theme (or mainly on that).
In any case, all this benefits Hive, which, being a platform based on blockchain technology, has so many advantages over Twitter that it is impossible, as I see it, to list them all. But one of the most notable is that since Hive is a network of a decentralized nature, for the simple fact of having the possibility for developers to create various Front Ends, it is a very great virtue with respect to Twitter.
Because as we well know, the decentralized nature of Hive guarantees freedom of expression, since whoever holds the keys to an account is literally the owner of that account. This, explained in simple terms, means that Hive is a social platform of the Web 3.0 era, and all of us who are on it, with our accounts, truly own a little piece of this platform; and that little piece, gives us a great freedom of action, and of expression. So we actually have a right over our accounts, and that right means that no one can ever take our Hive accounts from us, as long as we have our private keys.
In addition, for all of the above, in Hive no one will be able to limit or block our content no matter how much they want, because it is a completely different system from conventional social networks; in such a way that in Hive, the only thing that limits us at the level of interaction within the platform are the RC, outside of that, nothing more. That is why I think that Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and all the other social networks anchored in the old model of Web 2.0, will become history as soon as Web 3.0 is established in a more important way and people start to fully realize these realities and understand the potential that Web 3.0 offers in relation to all of the above.
I am hopeful that that will happen at some point in the med to long term. It will dawn and we will see.
Excellent Post. Thanks for sharing. Greetings.
