@timcliff Being here less than a month, I still understand the frustration of @son-of-satire I cannot say that I would express things in crude terms, as there comes the point in time to rise above the garbage. None of that diminishes from the issues at hand.
With the preface out of the way, I highly appreciate your comment. I already have experienced more genuine networking here on Steemit in just over three weeks than five years on LinkedIn. I am especially grateful for an individual with whom I have been engaging in direct chat who has lent her expertise at my request. Also, I get to communicate directly with a Homesteaders Community. There has also been wonderful dialogue with various individuals. No one is responsible for following me or to even upvote my comments and blog posts. It is my responsibility to make myself and my writings irresistible, so folks do not want to miss out on more.
I came here because I wanted a superior social media and I got it. The cryptocurrency is a bonus. Are the majority of folks sociopaths? Of course, they are. Can I change this fact? Only a fool would attempt. Blinders are not just for horses anymore.
Would have to agree with you about LinkedIn! Seems like the biggest waste of potential ever.
Hugely interested in homesteading and off da grid--followed! My ancestor way back founded a town in the run of Oklahoma, after his previous generations lived as wandering itinerant farmers in the south, so it must be in my blood. I'm currently living as an RV Nomad, trying to help others do the same.
@witnezme I did not realize that one of the members set up this link on another portion until just now. So, this should allow you to join. https://join.slack.com/t/steemithomesteaders/shared_invite/MjE0NTcyMDc3OTg5LTE1MDA0MDM4MTgtMDdkZDMwYTBmOQ
I really should have made a video instead, because yet again, I am misunderstood. I am not frustrated, and I certainly didn't mean to be crude. I just don't discriminate against language the way most people do. But, if I was upset, I don't think I would have opened with a joke and used "breast" as a tag for a bit of randomness lol.
This isn't about me being pissed off and rage quitting the platform. It's simply about me trying to spend my time more productively.
One day, not too long from now, you will see the irony in this that I can. Until then, I hope you're able to enjoy your time here as much as I enjoyed most of mine.
