I've been on Steemit for nearly two months. Today, coincidentally, for the first time, I ventured into the PAL Discord. I was immediately swooped upon by a welcoming party who suggested rooms to check out for my edification and interests. I tuned in to the radio and got a welcoming shout-out from the presenters.
I am very introverted, very much not a socialising sort of person; they made even me feel comfortable and welcomed. To anyone wanting to deepen and enhance their Steemit experience, I recommend PAL discord wholeheartedly.
