RE: Meditating bananas & vegan bicycles – the eclectic ramblings of a spiritual warrior
Welcome to steemit! You seem like an interesting individual. I vibe with a lot of what you're saying, especially about trying to be a positive influence on the world and helping others! We need more of that in the world in my opinion. Also, I'm vegan as well for similar reasons. Always good to meet another vegan who cares about the animals and planet! :)
I try not to plug my efforts when I reach out to newcomers, however.. I feel conflicted because the contest we do is a great help for beginners. I've had quite a few people tell me it helps them come up with ideas to post and helps them post more regularly, plus there's a good community that helps upvote and comment as well. So.. You may want to check out our @ifc contest, or just in general.. Look for some games or contests or challenges on the platform as they are a good way to get some extra rewards and grow quicker and also make friends and socialize as well. #newbiegames and #newbieresteem day are good tags to check also.
I've given you a follow as I follow all vegans on here to show support and help build the presence. There's also a vegan discord chat on here, though I don't wanna overwhelm you with too much! Anyways.. Good luck on here! :) Oh and.. If you have any questions about steemit or any of this feel free to ask and I'll do my best to help answer!
Thanks a mil @apolymask, really appreciate the feedback! Wow, so much to think about! Will definitely check out that out - it's definitely overwhelming getting started on this platform. It took me long enough to get this post formatted and posted (especially because I'm such a perfectionist haha!). Looking very forward to what Steemit has to offer and so great having such a positive response from people compared to other social media platforms!
You're welcome! It is a lot to take in and digest! I've been here approaching two years and there's still a lot I don't know.. But.. On the bright side it's pretty easy to get started, it's like most other social media.. You can just post and go. But, to get really deep into it takes a while to learn. Especially the crypto aspects and withdrawing money from exchanges and all of that. But.. Well worth it in my opinion! I think it's the future, this kind of technology. And word!That's a good attitude, also, the people on here in my opinion are a step above other social media.. Not to try to sound eliteist or snobby or whatever, though.. From my experience there's a lot less trolls and a holes. There's still a few here and there, just a lot less so far. Maybe they will come in time.. Though overall, I've only had a few bad experiences compared to dealing with unpleasant people on a regular basis on other social media.
I've actually just recently got into crypto (before finding out about Steemit) and it is fascinating, although I don't know how deeply I want to get into the complexities of it, but that's just me, I'm more interested in other things! But yes, the people so far have been fantastic and I'm so thrilled to be here! So thanks for the messages, been great to connect so far! :)
You're welcome. And yeah. It's not really necessary to get too deep into it. But it's nice to know the depth is there if you do want to at some point. Glad to hear the people have been great so far! If you keep at it I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. hopefully anyways! it's been that way for me. Sorry for the super delayed response by the way, I get a bit overwhelmed on messages sometimes and had to take a break.
