Since Elon Musk purchased Twitter, a lot of people and brands have been experimenting with different social media platforms. Of those, I've currently been playing around with:

• Mastodon
• Post.News
• Hive Social

Well, a story from Gizmodo on Friday reported that German security blog Zerforschung discovered Hive Social has suffered a massive data leak. The social media platform shut their servers down last Thursday to prevent further access.

It appears we have hugged Hive Social to death and they weren't ready for prime time.

On this episode, we explore Mastodon, Post.News, Hive Social, and discuss why it's a good idea to sign up for these platforms even if you aren't sure you're going to use them (just don't use the same password on every site...ever).
