There's more to owning and disseminating your public content than just immutability as part of censorship resistance, but it's the most important factor
and it's what Hive was built for.
We're an uncontrollable no-fee database with public access, a ton of easy to deploy APIs and libraries, a FOSS social graph, permissionless payments, distribution and monetization, encryption for messaging and data transfer, portable voluntary identity, permanently owned wallet names, and so much more.
Hive's been built in public by real people in a world where authorship is hard to track, automation is churning endless slop, you can be memory-holed and supressed, and captured algorithms drive pretty much all surfacing of content and engagement on the whims of platform oligarchies. We're maintained and growing via passionate humans who are creating equitable infrastructure for everyone to do more with, and we have more than a decade of history locked into our chain.
Metas don't phase us. We don't follow hype cycles. We've outlasted millions of chains and projects. For more than 6 years, we've been building useful tools and functional tech because we are driven by what we need and want ourselves... not what a VC needs to flip and exit, not what looks good on the short term sheet to hide an unscalable or unsustainable ethos.
From a static site to a community forum to a back catalog of personal think pieces, history and access should belong to and be controlled by you alone.
Embed your content anywhere. Pull from the blockchain verified source. Browse a ton of social sites and views and explore content and relationships that are syndicated across all of them. You might be using Hive without even realizing it already (we take that as the highest compliment.)
Use Hive freely, for whatever connections you're building:
any chain, any product, any relationship, or any goal;
every possibility ♦️
from 2020 to 2025, I wrote 38 opinion pieces for Coindesk. today the link to almost every one is broken. and my author page is gone. so they are effectively erased from the internet. this is why you have to own your own distribution
