Thanks for putting some verbs in there. I read a lot of posts with general suggestions: get to know people, be involved, gain followers. But that’s where it ends. You’re specific suggestions and examples are appriciated.
Also, on the drama... I don’t know enough about enough to know why the people gettin’ hated on are gettin’ hated on, but it is a total turn off. I’m sure my follow and upvote are too insignificant to be noticed by those doing the b*!@^ing, but I tend to unfollow when it pops up in my feed. It just looks like jelousy and sour grapes, and I just don’t have time for it.
You have the right mindset! Drama just waste to much of our valuable time but people love to get entertained 😂
