What's Happening in Web3 Social Circles
@jfuji discusses how he took his serialized fiction on Hive off-platform.
Alexander Kozlov maps out how to fix social media's glaring problems. This is a brilliant thought piece and a MUST-READ. It also illustrates what's so valuable about Mirror.
@kryptik makes a pretty good case about how Hive is losing the numbers game. There is a lot to admire in this screed. But The Infinite Monkey Theorem is a joke. People keep repeating it, but there's little evidence of it being true. Outside of that, his broader point is well taken. If no one can clearly define "quality," why is it raised up at the herald of social media success? Not just on Hive, but on Web3 in general. Quality content does not a rich man make.

I recently learned that Hive has its own music NFTs, and of course, there's the digital art marketplace known as NFT Showroom, also on Hive.
