steemit is like facebook, but worse.
Positive: it is censorship resistant.
Negative: EVERYTHING is public, always and period.
Don't consider,
but KNOW that
everything you put on there exists in and on public
FOREVER FOR GOOD.
No in-betweens, no changing the privacy status:
PUBLIC FOREVER FOR GOOD.
Remember that
when exclaiming the anti-censorship aspects of steemit.
If what you post is OK for being public forever,
then you could make a bit of money ;)
The stuff, for example, that Larken Rose posts,
is excellent for that type of thing.
if that is true how do i access my old comments and replies?
I do not know. I assume you'll have to sort through a minefield of information to find them.
That does not alter that your POSTS themselves will be easy to find, by definition.
thanks
