Hello @the-gorilla , thank you for taking the time to review our introductory post and for your direct questions.

1. How is SteemEcho different?
   Unlike many broad-topic communities, SteemEcho is focused on personal, emotional, and creative expression — not niche-based content like finance, games, or tech.
   Our goal is to create a space where real voices are heard — even if it's not "perfect" content. We want to build a tight-knit community that encourages engagement, storytelling, and emotional truth, not just technical writing.

2. About buying votes and STEEM withdrawals:

We understand your concern. While I (@junaidahmed) may have previously experimented with upvotes or promotions, it was never meant to abuse the system.
That said, this new initiative — SteemEcho — is built with a completely different goal.

I ensure you that,

• There will be no vote-buying or reward farming from the community account.
• All curation will be done manually, and any support we receive (such as delegation) will be transparently used to support creators.
• We're here to grow something real and positive.

Thanks again for holding us accountable. I’m open to any feedback or suggestions.
