Does Hive Social present a serious alternative to Twitter?

It's the platform that everyone's talking about at the moment. Like other social networks, such as Mastodon, relatively recent arrival Hive Social is taking advantage of the chaos surrounding Twitter since its purchase by Elon Musk to expand its ranks. Can Hive Social become a serious alternative to the network of the little blue bird?

After Twitter's bird, now it's the turn of Hive Social's bees to generate some buzz. The platform, which is still relatively under the radar, announced on November 21 that it had reached one million users. Since then, the site has further grown to two million subscribers, and its ranks continue to grow by the day. According to a Newsweek article dated November 22, some users were even unable to create their account on Hive Social because its email verification quota was set at 100,000 users per day. The network reported that it had added 250,000 more followers that day.
