I started out at Steemit chat and went on Discord which seemed very "busy" interface-wise. Yesterday I listened to a radio show on PAL and got involved in chat. No promotion, just having fun interacting with the host and others, while listening to some excellent Rush tunes as a backdrop.
Lately, I've started going to the "new" section and welcoming brand-new users to Steemit. I can tell you guys; it's enjoyable to give a little pump of encouragement and share a digital smile to newcomers.
Thanks @aggroed Someone like you came along when I was thinking about folding and gave me that little boost I needed. This is my way of paying it forward! :)
I do that, too, @evernoticethat! It just seems like the right thing to do. It felt wonderful to be welcomed even by a few people in the beginning!!
