I started on Steemit in June 2017. I posted and commented a lot and things started to happen. I made it about the enjoyment not the money. I do the same now as I did then. A scan through my post feed will demonstrate that I think. If one makes it about the enjoyment they garner from what they person do rather than from what they may get people would be happier.
Nope,I have no clue what an HSBI is.
Right. It was worth a shot to ask you about the HSBI though, haha.
I agree. The main, main focus should be on the experience. I have been re-educating myself in everything here and really, educating me in all the new stuff Steemit just did not have what Hive has now.
It's inspiring to think about what we could be doing on this Web 3.0 going forward.
What I would like to see, as a very personal goal here, is to create a Hive community that is intimately local. I am South African, I am Cape Townian. We have a specific community here and though it will be pleasing for people from around the world to see what we are up to, I want to build communities on Hive and move them over from their Facebook/Whatsapp-based groups.
That way, their posts are not just about lonesome South Africans writing things for people abroad to read, but writing and organizing events and sharing happenings right here. Get busy and make it about creating that community that they love so much. There is more than Hive offers those people than just the rewards.
It's a grand vision and I hope you succeed.
I engage with a lot of Saffers and always find good value there. They are a lot like Aussies, (but with funny accents.) 😉
😉 Are you sure it's not the Aussies with the funny accents? 🤣
I actually have some family in Australia. A nephew and a niece. They are the oldest two of my kid's cousins. The world is getting smaller as it seems we have family all over the place.
And thanks. I think my watching you and what you and others do, I will learn what I need to succeed.
I'm pretty sure it's y'all with the funny accent...But for the sake of good-relations let's just say it's both of us. Besides, when compared to Americans, our accents are to be considered normal.
You know I'm just kidding right?
Hahahahahaha! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, totally mate. It's all just for fun. I do so love humor and a bit of banter.
You have a lot of Saffers down unda anyhow.
I am not a huge sports fanatic, but there is that constant Tri-nations rivalry. Some of the best rugby in the world in found in South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I don't often watch games, but when i do... it's the finals of the World Cup. 🤣🤣
I have a Saffer here at my work. He's from Oudtshoorn. A legit dude who makes his own biltong (so I stay friends with him). Lol.
I know a few Saffers here actually, all good folk.
I watch a bit of rugby but am not fanatical. But yeah, when those three nations clash it's like WW3. It's a good rivalry. And speaking of accents...The NZ accent...WTF! 😁
🤣 Oudtshoorn is legit ostrich biltong country there.
I am actually quite proficient in making biltong myself. I used to do it for a living. Like... kilos and kilos of the stuff. Production style.
Not anymore, I do refrigeration and health and safety now for an HVACR company.
I might build a biltong drier in the new place though. Hmmmm #goals.
I know @clairemobey is looking forward to me making biltong at home. Hehehe.
But @galenkp, do your Saffer buddies invite you over for a decent Braai or perhaps a Potjie?
