As Twitter continues to be a growing dumpster fire under Elon, many alternatives have popped up. HiveSocial has been buzzing lately, but it's not perfect.
Ever since Elon Musk bought Twitter, it seems that the once-favorite social media site has just been going down in flames. It’s a sad sight to see — fake news and misinformation running rampant from paid “verified” accounts, restoration of formerly banned accounts , and so much other stuff that I just can’t keep up anymore. With all of these changes, there’s been a rise in alternatives to Twitter, like the incredibly popular Mastodon.
Related Though my feed has been a little slow lately, I keep coming back to Hive, even if there isn’t much happening sometimes. It’s been reminiscent of the early days of Twitter for me, where people posted random thoughts, what they were up to at the moment, and pictures of what they were having for lunch. So far, there’s no drama, no politics, etc. — it’s just been “good vibes only” for me so far, and that’s just what I need.
Simplicity is Hive’s biggest draw When Mastodon came out a few years ago, I created an account because it was the “hot new thing.” But with all of the Twitter nonsense, it seems that everyone has been flocking over to Mastodon. I gave it another shot, but I just can’t get over how confusing it is as a whole.
I have noticed every time I open up the Hive app on my iPhone 14 Pro, it takes at least 10 seconds for my home feed to load up. This is assuming it doesn’t just pick up from where I left off from the last use. I’d imagine that this is because Hive’s servers weren’t anticipating this many new users so quickly, so things are a little slow because of it — and that’s totally understandable. But I still hope that the developers behind Hive add more servers to handle capacity sooner rather than later.
And the biggest issue that a lot of people are having with Hive is the fact that it is currently a mobile app only. There’s no website and no desktop app. Everything involving Hive Social is on your iPhone or Android phone. For Hive to succeed, it needs to be available on devices other than phones and tablets. I sincerely hope that the developers are working on this because I know a few people who simply won’t consider it because of this fact.
