Hi Shanna! Thank you for the warm welcome!
I have been a Hive user since shortly after the hardfork in early-2020, but with a totally different account, totally different content (unrelated) and never really got into the networking aspect of Hive until recently. However, my good buddies over at @coldbeetrootsoup helped me make this account and have welcomed me to the community with open arms.
I will definitely get all inundated with the major writing & poetry-focused communities. I didn't mention in my intro, but I have long sought a place where I could comfortably share my work and build an audience - something that the old web2/legacy social media platforms were terrible at. Hive definitely has the Network Effect going for it!
I was actually told a couple years back, even if I'm sharing the work I do on another platform, to ALWAYS post it to Hive first, that way, it also provides a documented point-of-origination and can help with protecting my IP rights (if those still exist in 2023). All the images I used in this post were royalty-free, free-to-use pictures that the CBRS boys helped me source online, I do plan on using photographs I've actually taken in future posts, I have...thousands, literally, sitting in my archives (also going to be sharing those on Liketu!)
