I just got a notification from @hivebuzz that I've been on Hive for 5 years today!

What a life-changing journey it has been!
Before Hive, I wasted time and energy on a platform that encouraged the worst human behaviours, abused its users' data and trust, provided no sharing of the value it obtained from its users and engaged in illegal cartel conduct against rising competitors.
I am of course talking about Facebook.
My life is so much better without it.
Since I've been on Hive I've:
- made new friends;
- become part of warm and interesting communities;
- engaged in civilised discussions with people who don't agree with me;
- been exposed to amazing crypto developments and dapps, especially #splinterlands;
- joined the abundance economy and enhanced my wealth;
- been enabled and supported in bringing Facebook and Google to justice for their unlawful behaviour;
- created an indelible historical record of my ideas and achievements that can be easily shared with people and is not at the mercy of some algorithm.
Here are the first 2 posts I made on Hive on 27 March 2018:

A couple of days ago I met with some fellow Hiveans, @edenmichelle and @deimus to plan something big to promote Hive.
This is just one small way for me to thank the blockchain and community that has done so much for me.
