Hivemind
The Social Media Platform of Magnus Prime
Hivemind is the only social media platform available in Favont and Magnus Prime. It allows users to share photos and videos of their lives, from family celebrations to workplace humour, while ensuring all content aligns with societal norms. Integrated with The System, Hivemind plays a key role in maintaining order and shaping Favontille culture.
Features
Hivemind is designed to let users share curated moments of their lives while reflecting societal values. It serves as a central hub for citizens to connect, express themselves, and celebrate everyday life in line with Favontille traditions.
What You Can Share
People post a wide range of content on Hivemind, including:
- Family Life: Images and videos of family celebrations, children’s achievements, and peaceful daily moments.
- Fashion and Beauty: Sharing outfits, makeup tutorials, and personal styles that reflect elegance.
- Workplace Fun: Humorous skits and relatable moments from daily life at work.
- Religion and Tradition: Highlighting temple visits, religious rituals, and cultural festivals.
- Home and Travel: Showcasing beautifully organised spaces and scenic travels.
- Education and Skills: Tutorials, guides, and demonstrations of cooking, crafting, or learning new skills.
Engagement and Visibility
Users interact with posts through likes and comments. Posts that gain significant engagement are highlighted, giving them more visibility. Content aligned with government-approved themes, such as family harmony and cultural pride, is prioritised by the platform’s algorithms.
Pre-Approval of Content
All content uploaded to Hivemind is reviewed by The System’s AI before being published. This ensures that every post upholds societal values and prevents the spread of any inappropriate or disruptive material.
Integration with The System
Hivemind is closely tied to The System, the AI network responsible for maintaining order in Favont. This integration makes Hivemind a critical tool for surveillance, compliance, and societal control.
Monitoring Users
Every activity on Hivemind—posting, liking, or commenting—is tracked by The System. This data is used to:
- Ensure citizens follow societal rules and norms.
- Identify and address potential threats to public order.
- Promote content that supports government-approved ideals and values.
Content Prioritisation
The System determines which posts are most visible. Content that promotes harmony, tradition, and cultural pride is amplified, while posts that could distract or upset the public are suppressed. This keeps Hivemind aligned with the government’s vision for society.
Cultural Impact
Hivemind shapes how people in Favont engage with their world. By showcasing content that reflects the government’s ideals, it reinforces traditions, cultural values, and the social hierarchy.
Popular Content Themes
The most popular posts on Hivemind often include:
- Family Life: Celebrations, achievements, and everyday family moments.
- Fashion and Style: Showcasing elegant outfits and beauty trends.
- Workplace Humour: Light-hearted skits and relatable content from professional life.
- Faith and Rituals: Content centred around religious practices and cultural events.
Reinforcing Class Structure
Hivemind highlights Favont’s rigid class hierarchy. Posts from Magi and free humans often depict luxurious homes, extravagant events, and affluent lifestyles, presenting them as aspirational. Meanwhile, posts featuring slaves typically show them in servile or background roles, reinforcing their status as property. This normalises societal divisions and reminds citizens of their place.
Shaping Behaviour
By promoting content that celebrates family, hard work, and tradition, Hivemind encourages users to emulate these ideals in their own lives. The platform also amplifies government campaigns and approved trends, ensuring that societal values remain central to public aspirations and behaviour.

"I wouldn't go anywhere near it. Trust me on this. I know it sounds like some crazy conspiracy theory, but it really is the friendly face of The System. You don't want to be engaging with that."
"Mother uses it... a lot. I dabble, but the whole thing doesn't make me feel great. You look at everyone's posts and they all look like they're living their best lives. They're going place and doing things, and I feel like I'm just plodding on as ever, and compared to all these beautiful people, being utterly useless."
Aeryn DeSteffen
"I know I say this a lot, about a lot of things, but I was there at its conception. The System was working well... I say well, truthfully I can't say much more than that, but this was part of the problem. The system is big and scary, people don't trust it, what they need is something a bit more disarming, friendly, a mate almost that you can tell anything to. Well, I said, what's better than a friend you already have, and so Hivemind was born."
"Personally, I don't touch it. That's what I employ my PR team to manage. I don't agree with it though. I, as royalty, understand and acknowledge I have certain privileges, and my being royalty shields me from others, but Hivemind seems to fill some with the belief that just because I am now availible to them through the aethonet, that they may speak to me on equal terms. They may not."

"I like it. I mean, I ain't allowed to use it, so don't tell anyone that, but I think its great. It lets you know whats going on in your area, what people are up to, what people think, what they want. There's new things to see everytime you go on. I get half my business from Hivemind, but don't tell anyone, any of that, understand?"

"My previous boss used it for business. Made us do silly dances sometimes. Actually I didn't mind them dances so much, but I never liked the nasty stuff he'd get us doing, you know what, I don't even want to talk about that stuff. Sorry. You know, he said once that like hundreds of people had watched it, and I'd performed great, and I had this like real horrid dream that night that I was doing it all up on a stage in a crowded room. You know, if you think about it like that, suddenly that Hivemind stuff is real creepy like."
"I used it when I was working as an events manager. I found it annoying, to be frank. You had to build it into your work. You couldn't just set up the event, you had to set up the camera first, and then afterwards spend some time editing all those videos. I found it beyond painful to use, but that was just the way things worked."
Pearl Lightly
"Everyone has to use Hivemind. Its how we all stay connected, without it, we are islands. Hivemind allows me to engage with parties that I may not have access to, and showcases the lifestyle of her Highness. People love to see it. They are inspired by her, and her inspiration allows others to pursue their lives. That is the joy of this technology."
Prince Veris
"My team informed me I needed to be part of Hivemind. We don't have anything like this in Niphan, but that is not to say I disagree with it. It is another facet of Favontille life that I am prepared to embrace. Listelle advises I should leave the running of it to my team, though, and I think she is wise to suggest that."
