#beekeeping #science Here's the recording of a #calm hive. We opened it, this is about 10 minutes later when they are just happily gathering honey, and ignoring the beekeepers. You'll note you don't hear any angry bees flying around... just a constant hum (probably some of these #bees blowing air into the #hive) Temps around 82-85F.

🎶 Don’t need no blue bird

Don’t need no blue sky

Don’t need no frayed Threads

This bee don’t need no Hive

Already got a place to Post

I got me a Mastodon

And that’s the only one I need 🎶

Was I trying to sing this and make it work somehow, while in my kitchen, baking late night cookies, and shaking my booty?

Maybe. :nkolul:

I feel that the hostility that people are showing to the platform and to those who use it because "it's cool to dump on #Meta" are actually going to be what hinders people from coming over from other platforms when they realize it's just not working for them.

It's the reason why Black folks don't want to come here and rely on #Threads, #Spill, #Hive, #Bluesky, or even #Twitter still.

Honestly, if you aren't going to use it, don't.

That's it.

No need to harp on it.

I'm sure we all know why.

I‘m also at other places like #Hive, which, erm… got a very rocky start & #MyCafe which has a lot of potentials, especially with the Cafés (=groups), but needs lots more users.

#Naoo has the same problem. In my opinion, they also focus too much on influencers and trying to bribe people with earning points instead of actually trying to build a community.

#Subs can be fun as an Instagram alternative, but it can be a bit tricky to navigate.
