I've been off Steemit so much of late not by choice but because I've had to do so much more this season for my rental houses. Now I see you might be going to another platform? That's sad, also what is the platform? Maybe I'll follow?
I always worried when discord became more of a thing on Steemit I started to feel bad as what I LOVED about steemit was it had a very early 2000's blog feel and people engaged IN the comments.
I have tried and failed at Discord. I just can't do it. I can never find people on at the right time and when I do it's often people who have started to really connect and you feel like a third wheel, so I just didn't get anything out of it.
I'm worried now when I have the time to be on here more in the coming months will it be even more different? Oh well, I think this IS the downfall of social media.
I just wish I had an online site that was about art and creativity that rewarded each other and just let us talk about fun things like art, gardening, being creative and that was it and there was no outside link to things like Discord. It was just a closed system that you can go in and out of and enjoy it for what it is.
I hope you don't leave entirely. I'm sad that @scrawly doesn't appear to be on here any longer either :/
Im not moving into another crypto-based blog, Donna :) I'm moving over to the mainstream, non-paying social media places and I've signed up to most of them now, youtube, twitter, instagram, etc.
Discords sure are a different sort of beast to tackle, and some people are not just into chatting and others are pretty into it, I can understand that you find it difficult to engage with.
I wouldn't think that this is the downfall of social media, Donna :) Im sure you will have the time again, in the future, to share with us more of yourself and your arts :) Phases come and go in life, and the most important thing is that if we have built a home for us somewhere, if we have built real bonds and friendships, those people will still be around when you are ready to return :)
I will try not to leave entirely, but yeah, @scrawly seems like they are done with Steemit and I really don't blame them. I am also heading that way, it seems . __ . BUT. I will try to remain, for as long as I can :)
