RE: To Discord, or not to Discord
@rockchickenjen thank you! You brought up a great point about friend helping you out on Discord - that is also something that doesn't usually happen when a person joins Discord without making any connections on Steemit first. BTW, you are someone I know better on Discord than Steemit, I recently discovered your epic metal growl thanks to the track that @soundwavesphoton was playing on the backfill, and now i'm a fan!
So very true!! And thank you! Haha! I just started joining other Discord threads about 4-5 months ago and the MSP Waves was one I found. Then I discovered @crimsonclad's amazing show and met some really awesome people like you there! Which was great because now I am finding all of those people on Steemit and actually get great content that I am interested in on my feed now, as opposed to just blindly following random people in the beginning!
Most people join these groups only to promote their posts, but don't realize that there is so much more to it than that! The radio shows, the helpie groups, and just plain human interaction in the discussion channels, not to mention the many ways to find support with multiple things! I'm amazed at how fast it's grown and the amazing network that it has turned into!
I couldn't have said it better @rockchickenjen, you've basically described my experience too! Steemit made a lot more sense to me with the help of the people in the different chats, and as you said, it's so much more than just a place to promote one's own posts.
