Reading your post and the comment section below has been very enlightening. I am still quite new to the community, and had no idea there was so much drama going on behind the scenes. So far, everyone I've interacted with on Hive has been welcoming and supportive. I love that line about Hive being a virtual hug from the internet, something we could all use some times.
Also, I think your post is very well designed, I can tell you put a lot of effort into the style of the photos. I look forward to seeing more of your posts in the future. Thank you for sharing!
