Haha. Possibly the longest post i have read so far on Steemit. Great ideas and advice. Im just starting here, on day 7 actually and i have noticed (what you wrote here) that without engaging with the community you might as well post a 100 times and you wont get noticed.
Not until i started to connect with people did my posts start to get comments and upvotes. Just like you want to be appreciated, others want to feel appreciated as well.
The right approach is relatively simple to understand, but with the cynicism of the outside internet world being something we are used to, an adjustment period exists when starting on Steemit.
I'm really glad you discovered that for yourself early on @silentscreamer. It's so important!
Yeah it's pretty damn positive here on Steemit. The trolls have really gone elsewhere. I think the fact that everything is recorded on the blockchain and there's really no hiding does impact that aspect of things.
It's nice though, I'd much rather spend my time on the internet in positive, uplifting spaces anyways. It's nice to have found that space.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing @silentscreamer :)
