I'm sorry you have had a rough start here, I had good experiences and encourage you to stick it out. It has been through some highs and lows and has changed a lot, and is still very much in it's genesis. This is a lul like I haven't seen for a while, throw crypto into a mix of blogging and social media and you are in uncharted territory. There are issues that are way beyond my comprehension on how to resolve them. But you will find your people. I have been here almost 2 years. I had zero expectation and little idea what I was doing. My husband had checked it out for a while before I used it and guided me through.
It has been good for me. I hope it works out for you. I know how it feels to try to keep the good vibes rolling. But sometimes in order to replenish, you have to dump some crap too. I tend to dump mine in rhyme, then get back to regrouping what I have left after.

Thanks for the encouragement, @girlbeforemirror :) I really appreciate it. I like your use of the "...before mirror" wording. It shows a real depth that isn't as common as it used to be. In so many ways pretty much everything is a mirror to us too. I love diving deep into things like that, but still haven't hardly gotten started here yet. I've gotta go read more of your material.
Mine...
It's a mixed bag .
My user name is borrowed. This isn't my best work but it explains it.

It shows you what potentially is under all the other stuff. There are real people here who are doing incredible things with the potential it presents. My story is just one.
For me... I haven't gotten better yet, but I have somewhere that I can be while everything else has changed forever.
My first post is the reason I started here. To host a marathon 6000 words. It is linked in my husbands post. I didn't know I wouldn't do anything much of anything after that. I thought it was a short rest period. It was just the start of an ongoing problem.
Wow, @girlbeforemirror! Thanks for sharing that. I can't tell you how much it really does help to see such positive stories here, when I'm so horribly being strangled by the malicious @steemcleaners (censor) bot nuking now a half dozen of my posts and robing all of my funds on 3 of them and nearly all of 2 others, with no warning or reply to my pleas for help. Anyway, sorry to complain...
