We’re back today, in TWO hours, on the Hive Discord focused on the Hive Community.
This post is letting you know, there is two hours until we start.
That will be at 6pm UTC | 1pm EST | 10am PST
What is the Hive Thrive Community Hour?`
A HIVE discord show that will have a town hall feel to it.
We see a real gap between devs, projects, witnesses, community leaders, and everyday Hive users. There are so many people looking to feel more connected, engaged, and informed—and we want to bridge that gap. This show is about:
✅ Learning about the Hive Blockchain
✅ Sharing what what’s available to use or being worked on
✅ Exploring where Hive is headed (or could be)
✅ Identifying roadblocks—and, more importantly, finding solutions
✅ Fostering constructive and proactive discussions
✅ Providing another space for the community to engage

Meet our guest 
This week, we’re welcoming a protector of Hive and an at times polarizing figure on our blockchain:
Love him or question him, nearly everyone on Hive has an opinion about Hivewatchers.
Some see them as the immune system of the blockchain.
Others see them as too harsh, too centralized, or too present.
Most people fall somewhere in between—grateful for the protection, confused by the power, or wondering how it all really works under the hood.
But here’s the thing: very few people have ever actually heard
And almost none have heard him outside of a dispute, a report, or a comment thread under fire.
We’ll be diving into:
- The origin story: how he got pulled into anti-abuse work back in the Steem days, and why he stayed when most people would’ve tapped out.
- What Hivewatchers actually does day-to-day—the boring parts, the stressful parts, the misunderstood parts, and the parts nobody sees.
- The emotional load: how constant conflict, reports, and criticism shape the human behind the keyboard.
- Tone, reputation, and reconciliation: exploring the gap between intention and perception, and whether the culture around enforcement can evolve.
- The future of moderation on a decentralized chain: what works today, what’s broken, and what could be rebuilt better.
- Power, trust, and community wounds: why some users feel fear or resentment, and what a more transparent, distributed model might look like.
- Second chances and redemption: what it takes to get removed from a blacklist, and how empathy could be woven more deeply into the process.
- What
