Back in the day around 1996 I was really involved with IRC and it sorta was like my life... it was my outlet to the world. I was someone there and I had a reputation. I wasn't a sriptkiddie persay but I was someone who could help them fix the issues they couldn't solve. The only chick at the time that actually was into all that. I had a following of people sorta kinda. Anyhow I gave all that up due to various reasons and I was never happy because I had to abandon my life force... myspace, facebook and ello wasn't the same. A friend from IRC suggested I come to steemit and try it out. They thought it'd be a good place for me to explore my many hobbies. I was hesitant at first but I finally listened and jumped in. I'll have to say so far I like it. I still have a lot to learn about it but I'm sure that will come in time. In the mean time I want to focus on the creative aspect. I think I've finally found somewhere I can grow. So, steemit really makes me feel like I am in my element that's for sure.
Oh and I never really could get into reddit unlike my husband who is a huge redditor and complains that a lot of people come to steemit to try and make a quick buck and not try and actually produce decent content and the ones that do makes nothing. I do try and help out the smaller people when the first start altho I am nothing big...
Any how, there is my 3.5 pents. LOL :)
