Hive/Steem doesn't have private groups. In fact there is no privacy at all. Everything you do is recorded in a blockchain for all to see. In other social networks you can make things visible for certain groups only.

It would actually be surprisingly easy to create encrypted channels on Hive. We even have the Memo key for that exact purpose. Arguably the vast majority of such communication doesn't even have to be on the blockchain. It's really just a matter of creating these systems if there is actually demand to have them.

I think there's a little too much of "everything has to go on the blockchain".. lol. Its good for all the UIs to use, but not practical.

Yeah I think once we have peer-to-peer systems people will really start having their minds blown. That's why I was so excited when Tron and Justin Sun bought BitTorrent back in the day (2018) but then I realized he's nothing but a corporate tool looking to extract value rather than create it. Doesn't matter though all these systems are open-source anyway.
Suppose I were to decide to implement this. Would you like to support that as a Hive proposal? It will work as a Typescript-React component.
You want to submit a PR for the hive.blog condenser with the group encrypted channels to have something like FB does?
Yes. I want to see it available on every front end. Including when users are on distinct front-ends.
Good point. Nearly 5 years later and many of the features people like are still missing...

I was pretty disappointed after a 3 year hiatus. The only new thing are communities and I hate it!
LeoFinance UI is decent but that's about it.
Still good to be back :)

Welcome back hehe. I find it pretty lame as well that in 5 years these are the current features to try to attract or retain users...
Well, the Lions are making a lot of hype around their new projects like microblogging and stuff. I'm sceptic but hope never dies.
I also created an account on ZeroHedge to post a comment under this article, sadly I did not find any other Hiver i could push...
