"Friendly" Hivemind?

I am interested in the hivemind, however I don't think I am going to like having everyone against me (by now) so I thought I'd just skip the devouring swarm trait and play with the idea of playing a "friendly" hivemind that plays nice until things can get assimilated.

Any ideas or tips for that? I don't know yet if thats a thing but my thought was to make friends and if thats possible migration treaties later on and turn them at some point (need one or 2 certain ascension perks for that, I think) so everyone gets turned in some time. Pretty much like the swarm in starcraft under the control of Kerrigan. Is that possible? Or do I maybe have to take things from a different angle?

I could just go and play a normal empire (been there, done that) but I'd like to try if that is compatible with the benefits of the hivemind government.

Sure, if you don't pick Devouring Swarm civics you can initiate diplomacy as hive mind. However non-hive empires will still dislike you.

Sorry I can't contribute muchother than that. I tried a similar approach way back when hive mind was new but failed horribly due to a variety of reasons (galaxy composition, me not being the greatest player, etc.). But overall, I'd say it is not easy being hive mind and peaceful in my experience.
