RE: After 2 weeks on Steemit I decided to STOP

in #steemit7 years ago

Unless I've missed it somewhere, I don't think steemit tells you when someone has resteemed an article you wrote. I wish they did. (I don't know about FB or Tw, but G+ does, and that's the only social media platform I care about at all!!) Personally, I'd like to know. I'd at least like to thank them. To me that's just good manners.

The ones I've found, I've found by accident, and I'm horrified to think I might have missed some / slighted somebody. Despite the complaints everywhere about spam comments, etc., I've considered asking anyone on my blog that does resteem to at least say so so I can follow up. (Maybe I still will.) Again, I consider it a matter of appreciation and courtesy.

Also, if they're interested in what I write, maybe I'll be interested in what they write. I have very eclectic tastes -- and finding an account that doesn't look like some kind of dead-end / bot is becoming a treat!

Frankly, I'm scared to death to post much in the way of comments here. The culture is very different from what I'm used to on G+. People want comments that "add value" to the post, rather than something in the way of a compliment or bit of conversation, so I have to sit on my hands a lot -- and wait for the temptation to pass.

But since you know who I am, I thought I'd risk it here -- and hope for the best. I still enjoy your writing and look you up every day. I wouldn't be here without you. Keep the faith, my friend. <3
