I only really occasionally shared my posts from here, it was never a large part of my online usage. Now, if we had to do that with Hive then I would definitely be looking for out of the way approaches around the problem.

Just sucks that they had to block access. If they are able to partner with another company to cover the ID check, I would have no problem verifying just because I had a friend or two over there (but I am sure we are friends on Meta platforms too, just neither of us use them much).
