RE: Masking

in Rant, Complain, Talklast year

We are, he is younger than me by exactly nine years (born on the same day) and smarter too. I'm the dumb older brother.

I actually don't relate well to accounts that don't use a profile image, it's not personal, and even any old image is better than none. Showing just a little personality, as you do, is a great way to attract like-minded people and (like with you) we start engaging and that's where things start to take off. It's what I did with my own account and it built from there. Of course, there's other things that need to happen, but it's a good start.

People will want from you your vote and so much more.

There's whole Discord groups that promote to smaller users other users with more HP like me who vote comments and give decent votes to posts. I get a lot of comments from such people and get tagged a lot I their posts in the hope of a vote...They don't get one. People who engage like you do get one, and more. I have many users Discord me asking for things too, votes, direct gifts of Hive and so on...One wanted a new Playstation and asked me for USD directly...all from one particular country too. They get nothing. This is one reason I don't use Discord much, although I certainly answer people who reach out to me for other reasons.

Have you ever met a real nut case in the blockchain?

There are many of these and they're not always exposed until they get caught out doing the wrong thing; it's then that they sow their true colours. I've been called many disgusting things, been heavily downvoted for months on end just because tarazkp is my brother and the user and his group didn't like my brother (jealousy is often the reason for such dislikes), my friends have been doxed (personal information released on the blockchain) for the same reasons and other such things. Human's will only ever be who and what they are; some know how to hold it back and others are just abusive, self-entitled idiots with low self-esteem (Pretty much the definition of a bully.)

Anyway, thanks for your comment and your nice remarks in respect of what my brother and I write and how we think, it's appreciated.

No problem. Thank you for making the blockchain worthwhile. Perhaps because of my personality It's not easy to find content I feel mirrored with, or perhaps with a heart I could enjoy, so the reflections community was a good find, including you two. Also thanks for the info. Now I feel like I need to be a little bit more careful about what I share in my post, even if I am spilling my guts out sometimes, just in case some nut case like the ones you mentioned happen to cross my way. Haha.

Anyway, reading you I feel like I am doing some right things on the blockchain hopefully.

I like to be varied, to show different things so it's reflective one post and something quite different in others; I don't think humans are one-dimensional and so like to show a few of my facets.
