I've never liked the term "hivemind", it implies an us/them divide where none exists and it's frequently used as a pejorative, "I'm different/better than the hivemind" (note: I'm not saying this what you are doing just that the hivemind thing is over used).
We are all part of the same zeitgeist, just in different parts of it at different times.
I've never heard of lainchan but I'll have a look and I love cyberpunk so I'll take a look at that as well, thank you :).
On a slightly un-related note this tendency to self-organise into tribes/cliques and then hurl shit at the other side drives me crazy, There is far more that binds us than divides us and yet I frequently hear "I hate liberals, I hate republicans, I hate Appletards, I hate Linux users, I hate Javascript users, I hate PHP users, I hate <insert anything where they picked a different path/choice>".
I'm not even sure why we do it possibly an evolutionary reason of "My tribe good, that tribe bad", it's easy to rationalize a world where anyone who agrees with you is inherently good and everyone else is at best wrong and worst malevolent.
As I get older I realised that someone holding a different view/choice to mine means I should look more critically at my view/choice often I'll realise that the other person made a valid/good choice for them and possibly for me, dogmatism is rarely a good thing.
