New Steemian Here!

Hi Steemians,

My name is Allan Masterson and I’m new to the steemit community. I started using the platform as a way to write about and reflect on some of my personal experiences. I’ve been writing for about a week now and so far it’s been great!

STUDENT LIFE

I’m a Canadian student in my mid-20’s from Niagara Falls Ontario. I’ve studied economics and political science and I have a graduate degree in philosophy. Most of my experience is in the arts, but I’m currently working on a degree in neuroscience and biochemistry in beautiful Nova Scotia.

POLITICAL ACTIVIST

I spend most of my free time learning about socio-political issues. I’m interested in things like border policy, improving our democracy, understanding behaviour, and evaluating our legal system. I’m hoping to use steemit as a way to share some of my thoughts and to get some feedback from the community. I’m really excited to be on this platform and I look forward to contributing some great original content!

Hello Allan, welcome to steemit. I can't wait to check out some of your content. I love a political discourse. Looking forward to checking out some of your content.
Cheer!

Welcome @mastersa, just read a few of your articles and I like your writing. Many issues, messages, and narratives portrayed in the media and public often lack proper context or the other side of the story that is the bigger picture. It's as if their message was simply one dimensional leading to a simple generalized conclusion so without asking the real pertinent questions we will never get the genuine answers. We sure need more critical thinking skills in the public. Wishing you success on Steemit!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. 😊

Hello @mastersa!, good morning how are you, it's nice to meet you, I'm also new to steemit and I'm learning to familiarize myself little by little with this beautiful community.

Greetings and Welcome to the Steem Community @mastersa!

You can also check out the @MinnowSupport Project (MSP), a community of Steemians on Discord Chat where you can interact, chat, network, and learn with other members of the Community! There is even a Steem based radio station there with shows and music created by Steemians, @MSP-Waves! Hop in the @MinnowSupport Pond and say hello sometime if you'd like!

Hello again, and Welcome to the Steem Community @mastersa!

I would love to feature your new introduction post in my weekly curation feature if you don't mind! You can find it on my @Ma1neEvent Profile.

Hope you are enjoying your steem experience so far!

That's awesome thank you!

Welcome to the Steemit community @mastersa!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for here and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions:

  1. Use your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions,
  3. The master password is only to reset compromised passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written without credit,
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once, and
  7. When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.

I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

It gives you insight on what is happening in your account.

Hi @mastersa, welcome to Steem! Always a pleasure to meet another Canadian, though I'm from the west originally, now on the east coast of the US. Looking forward to exchanging thoughts with you!

Welcome to Steem, Allan! Glad to read that you're enjoying yourself since that is the best reason to do anything. Wishing you joy and success as you share your thoughts and experiences with the chain.


We encourage everyone to explore the various posts and to leave personal comments on those that you wish (for example - thoughts regarding the content or a sharing of a similar experience you've had). This platform thrives through interaction as it's the best way to build relationships with other Steemians while finding communities and initiatives that peak your interests.

We like to advise bloggers to cite if images, videos, etc. used in their posts are of their own creation. This practice gives the creators an opportunity to have it clearly labeled that the works portrayed are the rightful property of the party posting it.

Another tip that we share with everyone is to be careful of copyright infringement when using material that is not of their original creation. Content (for example - images from a website) that grants permission for reuse is acceptable for content creators to utilize within their posts provided there is appropriate attribution to the source. Here's a link that will provide you with more information.
