Hello and welcome to seemit. Let me give you some hints to jumpstart your trip here on steemit. Join discord of @minnowbooster, @steemcleaners, @freezepeach and search for folks that are in the tags you like. There are many folks that feel exactly the same way you do and your time here will enrich and enhance your perspective of the truth. Some of my favorite folks to follow are @v4vapid @dwinblood @ura-soul @valued-customer. I think, from reading this post you would like them as well.
You will need to figure out what Witnesses to vote for, and learn who you can trust and how to use your keys to this platform. All these things are easy to find and searchable. Never click on outside links you dont know, never give anyone your masterkeys. Steemit will never ask for it. You can log in with your posting key and use your active key to move your steem and sbd around.
Lots of folks make an #introduceyourself post and let everyone know who they are.
Pretty awesome greeting @iamstan =)

Use your posting key for everything you can. If someone gets your posting key, they can't take over your account. If they get your active or master key, you will regret it.
Thanks for the shout out @iamstan!
Thank you @iamstan. There seems to be a bit of a learning curve getting to know this platform, but I am excited to develop a working knowledge. Thanks for the information. I appreciate your response and will certainly be checking out your recommendations!
