-This account is going dormantSeeing a lot of people over at Hive. Seems to be more Twitter like in terms of not having to deal w/ different servers to sign up on or federation.
Mike 🏳️🌈@majornelson Feels like it'll just be history repeating with another centralised social network in a few years tbh
CoreyRDean@graffekta @majornelson yeah multiple servers and #federation are exactly the reason #Mastodon will endure over time while all centralized solutions will eventually end up with the same problems as Twitter.
Tony@majornelson Hive feels like an Instagram clone to me. You can make text posts only but all I see are pictures.
Andrew Clement@SharkBytes @majornelson seems to have a few issues though https://shelter.moe/@fenarinarsa/109385060635819106

I see that #Hive is trending so I tried it and so far it's quite unfinished and suspicious. - There's no web version (a big no for me) - The app forbids to use or post media unless you give access to ALL your media on iOS. This is a HUGE red flag to me. (on iOS, when an app asks for a media, you can give it only a selection of media to avoid hack/download of all your media library (you now, privacy etc). Hive doesn't accept that and asks for all access) Also no 2FA, no DPO (so not GDPR compliant for privacy)... Just for you to know.
@anclement @majornelson add to that the @ username is not unique. There could be 100 Major Nelson’s. https://glitch.lgbt/@EposVox/109389588122076508
@SharkBytes @majornelson on mastodon or hive?
@anclement @majornelson Hive. Although that post seems to be taken down now
@SharkBytes @majornelson wait. So hive usernames aren't unique?
Also I heard it was ran by just two people
@anclement @majornelson that’s what the post I referenced said with screen shots, but sadly it looks like it was removed. I’m looking into it more.
@anclement @majornelson here are the screenshots from the post, not sure why it was removed.
@SharkBytes @majornelson that is a major oversight
Gus Ziolkowskiyou'll start seeing text based content once you follow people. The picture based stuff is for the discovery function only. It's a little weird.

@majornelson if you can get on... I never got the confirmation email, and this has been my experience
Keith Hill@majornelson Yes it's interesting and may rise, but from what I saw so far, the posts and comments were pretty toxic. I'll watch from afar.
John Bergquist 🍥@majornelson Hive is Twitter 2. The thing about it (in my mind) is that if I want Twitter, I stay on Twitter. 🤷♂️
Mastodon is 'the internet' (decentralized) but for social interactions.
I keep saying, Xbox should host their own server. It is fully managed and fully controlled by Microsoft/Xbox team and is accessible by any other servers.
SpiderLuke@johnebs @majornelson I will say, though, as much as I like the better performance of Mastodon, it won't mean anything if I don't really know who anyone is here. Mastodon seems more like Reddit where I have no idea who anyone else, but I'm finding interesting content ... and Hive, while in a very janky and slow now has nearly 100 people I've followed in one day I know. (Creators, journalists, etc.) Mastodon does need to sort of simplify things in order for the mainstream to catch on to it.
@SpiderLuke @majornelson Hive is simpler to join. Put your phone, and done. Centralized systems are easier to manage and control.
Every individual person needs to ask "why I'm looking elsewhere?". If you are changing to the same thing, why change in the first place.
@SpiderLuke @majornelson And to be clear, I'm not saying the fediverse is better or worst. It's just different. Different good/different bad is up to each individual.
@johnebs @majornelson To be honest, I'm probably just going to be in both. I have a hard time being on Twitter now because Musk has really changed the tone of the entire platform. Might as well be called Truth: Musk Edition. Hive is to stay in contact right now for me with the majority of good people jumping ship from Twitter. I see Mastodon for me being an interesting place to have interesting discussions but rather with more random people that aren't known to me. Could change with more people.
@SpiderLuke @majornelson Truth: Musk 😂
OHWACHACHA ⌨️ 🖱️@majornelson I honestly think Mastodon feels a lot better than Hive.
Naomi Dierckx@majornelson It has all of the same pitfalls, and none of the legal securities. Doubt it'll go anywhere positive. Mastodon is the place to be.
Steve@majornelson no search facility, no desktop client, music facility only available for apple music users, reported only two employees which doesn't bide well for abuse removal...

@majornelson yea but it’s buggy and no web interface.
Kitarachi@majornelson at this point we all just have to use more social media apps now. Considering nobody is leaving twitter as it is. It's all a stupid band wagon trend. Nothing will change other than us all having a mastodon account and a hive account to also post too
@majornelson Hive's lack of laptop App, (phone App only) is a deal killer for me & these older eyes. I'm really enjoying this Mastodon so far.
