My First Blog!

in #firstblog6 years ago

When I announced my plan to exit from the Facebook ecosystem, I was offered a blog here. So I took the offer. I'm hoping this will be a better place for me to have an online presence and share my thoughts without worrying about being "fact-checked" or censored or de-platformed. What is the point of posting things if they can just be removed arbitrarily?

I just got this set up, so I still have to learn most of the features. I'm hoping this can also serve as a place for anyone who wants to find me online. If you're reading this, you are likely one of them. Thank you!

You made it! Wooo!

Thanks for setting me up. Much appreciated!!!

Now, the most important thing is that you have your master password safe and secure.
If you don't have it, then now is the time to abandon your account.

But, you probably have it, looks like you are in good hands.

So, welcome.

And F-c-book has been using up gobs of memory with their new layout.
Makes me go there less and less.
Maybe i don't need those friends any more.

When I set up his account with one of my tokens, I told him how to change his account info. I haven't checked yet to see whether he did or not.

It was the first thing I did, per your instructions. Thanks, again!! Now I'm poking around this whole ecosystem, trying to get the lay of this land.

It's a lot to take in at first. I suggest browsing through the different communities, upvoting posts that you like, and leaving substantive comments to see whether you find some other people willing to engage with their readers. Those are the people to follow.

What is a "token"? Last i looked into it, it took so many resource credits...
Got a link to post on setting up other accounts?

I will probably need to be doing what you did.

It takes a lot of RCs, but PeakD has a wallet feature to claim and save account creation tokens. It's an option under the staked account token menu along with powering down and delegating.

Welcome to Hive! It's a great place to be.

Welcome! I'm sure that you'll find this much better than Fakebook (who kicked me off almost 4 years ago). On FB the truth is discouraged, here it is more or less revered.
