RE: The Alchemy Of Steemit

in #steemit7 years ago

Well said! I too wish those who complain could be the change they wish to see instead of merely being the voice of discontent!

I also curate for @asapers, a small group here who focuses on paying it forward and showcasing quality unnoticed posts...like yours. We have a newsletter where we highlight said posts and I'd like to submit yours, but you need to be a member/follower first. I think you'd like the group of people we have there; thedarkhorse is one of them...I dragged him there myself haha

Here is the invite link if you are interested, and of course if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thanks again for an awesome post!

That is so nice of you to offer. I have had many invites to Discord, but so far have shied away from it. It appears when I went there that I had to download some type of app, and I run from apps as fast as I can due to their penchant for spying and being hackable. Secondarily, it seems weird to need a second social platform to manage the first social platform, lol. And yes, I am aware my age is showing in this reply, hahahaha.

I have realized my not using the Discord or the Steemconnect etc has handicapped me somewhat in my growth here, and hope no one takes offense (I know you won't) that I am not using those things. It took me months of arguing with myself just to get into crypto and employ all these James Bond password procedures.

Ha ha! Exactly, meanwhile, sun shining outside. ..

haha I had to chuckle...

Those were my exact thoughts after just a few days on the platform.
Why is everyone trying to get me to go to another platform to discuss what is supposed to become the de facto social media platform?!?!?

I've clicked a few discord links, but never spent much time there.
I visited steemit.chat once to help a friend who was waiting weeks to get on Steemit.
It was actually no help. He filled out the form someone there suggested, but still never got the invite email. So he just signed up again and 2 weeks later, voila, he got online...

No worries whatsoever! It took me a long time to get involved in Discord and truthfully, I don't chat there much at all. I find it's a great place to share links or go to if you have a problem with something etc. I guess I do chat there a bit, but it's always purposeful, if you know what I mean.

Steemit takes up plenty of time, Discord can swallow the rest if you allow it haha
