Hive Social's 24-year old founder said it was 'unsurprising' that Elon Musk acknowledged the existence of her small but growing social media app vying to lure Twitter users
In a conversation with Insider,, Raluca Pop, said it was"unsurprising" that Musk noticed the platform.
"We were trending for almost 4 or 5 days straight, and I figured he had probably seen it," she said. Pop, who runs Hive with two other people, said that when someone initially sent her the Musk tweet,"I was like, 'oh my gosh, wow, that's real?'... I was just kind of like,"oh, cool. We were acknowledged."
Hive Social has"created a safe and healthy community," according to Pop. It's an idea that may appeal to some Twitter users who have disapproved of Musk's decision to bring backPop said her team does not yet include content moderators, which will likely be key to ensuring the platform free from potentially dangerous and abusive content. She said adding them is a priority.
"There's not really the toxicity on there," Pop said of Hive Social."I mean, there's disagreement, and sometimes stuff like that can get out of hand, and nobody can fully control that, but I think the tools and the features we provide users within the app have definitely contributed to the community and the culture of the app itself.
