Cave currently maintains a personal blog and an online correspondence page with his fans called ''The Red Hand Files'' which is seen as a continuation of ''In Conversation,'' a series of live personal talks Cave had held in which the audience were free to ask questions. On the page, Cave discusses various issues ranging from art, religion, current affairs and music, as well as using it as a free platform in which fans are encouraged to ask personal questions on any topic of their choosing.<ref name="Clarke">{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/nick-cave-says-hes-repelled-woke-cultures-self-righteous-belief-lack-humility-2557386|title= Nick Cave says he's 'repelled' by 'woke' culture's 'self-righteous belief' and 'lack of humility' |work= NME |first=Patrick |last=Clarke |date= 15 October 2019| access-date=28 May 2020}}</ref><ref name="Cunningham">{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/27/nick-cave-red-hand-files|title= Nick Cave is showing us a new, gentler way to use the internet|work= The Guardian |first=Russell |last=Cunningham |date= 27 November 2018| access-date=28 May 2020}}</ref> Cave's intimate approach to the Question & Answer format on ''The Red Hand Files'' was praised by ''[[The Guardian]]'' as "a shelter from the online storm free of discord and conspiracies, and in harmony with the internet vision of [[Tim Berners-Lee]]."<ref name="Cunningham"/>
