One of HiveToday's goals is to build a presence across many internet platforms, including Web2 and Web3, and everything in between. We created a home on many platforms, including the Fediverse. Unfortunately, our Fediverse landlord swiftly evicted us on Hive's fork-day of all days!
What Happened on Mastodon.social
When choosing a home in the Fediverse, Mastodon.social was our first choice. Unfortunately, our recent efforts to share Hive podcast content have deeply offended the gatekeepers. As a result of posting and sharing activities, HiveToday is permanently suspended from Mastodon.social. This profoundly saddens the HiveToday team. All 10 followers of our Mastodon account must have also been harmed by our violent acts of sharing YouTube links and brief text summaries. sarcasm warning.

You can see below our long, long list of incidents where HiveToday violated the lease agreement. Without prior warning, the access is shuttered. Message received! "your data is not welcome here". Goodbye, Mastodon. 🖕

When broadcasting on 10 different internet social platforms, the differences in features, reach, and user experience become apparent. The same post that triggered the enforcement action on Mastodon was posted in 9 other places without complaint. The final straw was a post sharing the Deep Web3 Secrets interview with HiveDebit developer Jan Thomasewsky (
@jthomasewsky).
