RE: The Surprising Number of "First Time Bloggers" on Steemit

in #blog8 years ago

No, I’m not a first time blogger. I had a Wordpress blog for 5 years before joining Steemit and I have a FB page and Instagram. I will say that I came to Steemit because my son had joined and convinced me to join also! On Steemit I have met interesting people that live in the USA and all over the world. I’ve learned facts about other countries and cultures from the friends I’ve made on Steemit. People leave genuine comments on almost every post I make. On FB I can post something and my “friends” might not comment at all. I barely use FB now and the same for my Wordpress blog. It just feels more like a genuine community on Steemit.

Sort:  

A large part opf the appeal for me is the truly global nature of the Steemit community-- Farcebook tends to be far more "local" in nature; in addition, at least half the people I tend to interact with over there are folks I know in the "outside world" as friends, family or work colleagues.
