Oh dear, I'm starting to get what's going on here @steemit (umm does giving someone/something a strudel before their name mean I'm spamming?
I get the part about just following people because they showed/feigned interest in my post...100 or so in since yesterday. Looks like I'll need to do some deep cleansing...
I think it's best to maybe drop the keyboard and mouse around for a while...just respond to my feed and replies. Thanks for this post @kayclarity ...lol I came by it by my feed because I followed you...I'm such a newb...think I'll go write some poetry...feeling kinda down now...I'll be back though.
~may all hatred cease...let there be peace~ ...'n that ain't spam no matter how often I use it...don't care what anyone thinks about that ~slightly skewed smile~
It can be a little disheartening. I think commenting on posts, as long as you mean what you say, is a natural way to "meet" people on here. How else would you connect? But spamming is when people don't take any time to construct a meaningful response and just copy and paste something and say "follow me" or whatever. I don't comment on posts that aren't interesting to me in some way, although once in a while I'll do a simple "welcome" without much else to someone new (I appreciated that when I first came on here).
Don't be discouraged too quickly! Just follow people you're actually interested, and be kind to people, interacting in an authentic way, and I think you'll enjoy it!
Well duuuhhhh...yes of course you're right and of course that's how I roll. Everything you said is correct. There is some amazing content here and I intend on tasting as many flavours as my brain's pallet can stand.
btw...that duuuuuhhhhh thing...it was meant in a humorous tone
