Steemit-- How are you?

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Hello Everyone my name is Andy and I am new to Steemit. I was introduced to this site by friends and was told that it is truly a community where everyone was helpful and loved to share ideas. I was intrigued and had to check it out.


After reading as much as I could about Steemit I wanted in, but I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. That’s were my friends asked me if I wanted to try my hand at writing a blog. It was my first time and I was nervous, but I wrote about one of my passions, and to my delight, there were others that enjoyed the article. So, here I am with my own account—what now?

What do I want to write about?

I am really into videogames (talking about them more than playing), history and technology. What I have noticed is that there is a ton of negativity when it comes to gaming on the internet-- fanboyism and trolling run rampant. I want to be a part of a community that can discuss subjects in gaming, technology and history in a way that is respectful and can provide learning opportunities. I also want to share my life experiences with my hobbies. I think it is pretty cool when folks talk about how they got into their interests. I want to share mine and hope people share theirs as well.

Another interest of mine is classic TV shows so I may write a blog about an episode of the Twilight Zone or about Night Gallery. I am also hoping to be able to be able to speak about different technologies and how they work as well as learn from the community. I have always wanted to get the chance to put my thoughts and ideas out there for others to read, and I hope that I can create some content that you guys will find interesting and/or helpful. See you guys on the other side 😊

Welcome to steemit im new here to. Its a great community. I dont understand the hate towards gamers 😯.

Maybe it's because a big part of the gamer's community is full of angry and toxic people, who insults you if you attack their favorite games... or just because you don't play those games, or just because they want to. Not all the gamers are like them, but they exist anyway :C

Yeah this sounds accurate. I just try not to listen to the haters but they seem to be everywhere online. So far no haters on here 😎

There aren't here because this site is too young, give it three or four years :c

Anyway, the thing with the haters is that, don't listen to them, and they will get tired

Yeah true well atm it is a fresh change from facebook ☺☺

Hey there, Andy. I am also new here. Great intro post. I look forward to seeing more from you and will definitely be following.

Welcome! I'm new myself! I know what it's like to feel embarrassed about video games! It would be MUCH less embarrassing to say "I like to watch ballet"... Once you do that, the conversation is exactly the same!... "Oh, I hadn't done that since I was a teenager!" - "Well, you should try it now, it has really moved on since then!" hahahaha

Yes @nielssenm, there are those who love to judge others without even knowing them based on their interests alone. I say as long as you aren't hurting other people, keep enjoying what you love.

Welcome to Steemit.. This is a great community and seem to be very helpful. I am sorta new to Steemit, and still learning the ropes.. lol I would upvote this post but my voting power is low. Good luck!
