Ever since the naughty boy of the business world, Elon Musk, took over the social media platform Twitter, many of its users have started to switch to other similar social media platforms like Mastodon. Another Twitter alternative called Hive is also seeing a rapid increase in signups. Today it was reported that the platform has passed one million users.
Founded by “Raluca” in 2019, Hive is a social media application that combines concepts from various social networks such as Instagram and Twitter. Posts on Technology, Memes, Pets, Crafts & Books, and more. Users can like, comment, repost and click on hashtags.
Hive uses the same follower-based system as Twitter. You can choose a nickname for yourself, view your horoscope and even add your favorite songs to your profile.
Unlike most social networks, Hive uses chronological ordering instead of personalization algorithms to display content and doesn’t show ads. Basic usage is free, but there is a paid option for more functionality. It currently only supports iOS and Android operating systems. If you want to try the Hive app, you can download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
