RE: Backscratching

in OCD3 years ago

My previous comment was more about if my cousin and I fall under acid's umbrella of bad back-scratching since by the nature of how communities are ranked the higher the rewards, the better the ranking. People name communities rather randomly so I don't ever try to search for a community, I just load the list and start scrolling, looking for the community I want and possibly joining a few others in the process.

It would be a shame if we got caught up in that, but I think we don't really fall into that category because our goal is to get other writers and ttrpg-ers posting to give our updoots to.

I gotta get my twitter game on again, but I feel censored. I used to get a lot of likes, then I mentioned crypto stuff like NFT's and now I don't get any likes...

I see you're a northerner. I get chills thinking about the great opportunities HERE, for those people. Where the fuck else they gonna find work? And the arts, crafts, and culture; it all deserve a home and rewards. But damn they can't be acting like five bucks per post is nominal. Imagine all these folks sharing, holding earnings, building a community...and in FIVE YEARS... living a life never once offered, because they made it for themselves. Imagine that. Could help take northern poverty out of the equation. Get them back on track, sharing, as they did for thousands of years.

Not going to lie, one of the largest problems facing the Inuit population is a severe disregard for how much education improves your life. They'd honestly rather just be left alone to chip a hole in the ice and try to stab a few seals. But the modern age rolled in and went "Fuck you, stone age to tik tok in 100 years or less! Let's go mother fuckers." That and the stigma of school because of the way the Native American population was treated in Canadian schools, means a VAST portion of the population don't get a grade 12. And even fewer get secondary education. Lots of people living off government handouts. This leads to a severely small portion of the population willing to spend time writing blogs about Inuit culture on any blockchain.

And this is most definitely a societal problem that they have to overcome. Some are openly racist to our white asses being up here teaching their children, but refuse to step up, complete their schooling, and become teachers. Something the GN makes PAINFULLY easy for them to do. All you need is a grade 12 then you just have to pass some bullshit training course and boom, you're an elementary teacher making well over 100k a year. But only if you're Inuit 🙃

Shit. I don't even bother with communities. That was never something I wanted, personally. I adored the chaos and stumbling into random shit I never knew I'd like until I liked it. Put in a place where all the walls are the same color and I get bored, fast; but that's just me. Most around me need to be structured and led, by something, so I get it. That's people.

@acidyo ain't the big nasty. Dude won't fuck with you if you're being legit. Dude looks for bunk, makes himself look like a goddamn asshole for giving a fuck, then wants to do something about it to boot. He means well. I don't 100% agree with everything dude does but that's life. Just glancing at your shit, I'd say you're safe. Dude is looking for straight up rip off artists and bunk. Don't listen to those fucktards that make this kinda shit all out to be villainous. You ain't seen nothing, man. I been here the whole time. Nobody is picking on or taking shits on anyone without good reason.

And yeah that social media world is nasty as fuck. Play their game. Trust me. Don't have to like it. But play it. Lay off the 'crypto will save the world' nonsense. Find a way to bring them over, like anyone would, anywhere else on the internet. Crypto is only a barrier when people throw up the walls man.
