Hi there, I’ve been a member of Steemit since the beginning of March so I’m long overdue for an introductory post here.
I’ve been a very happy #linux user since the summer of 2006. Most of the time I use an #Ubuntu or #Debian derivative, my current distro of choice is #Zorin which I’m really enjoying but I could easily change my mind in a month or two and try something else.
After the recent scandals surrounding #Facebook and #Twitter I decided to try some of the different social media sites. I watch quite a few of Styxhexenhammer’s videos on #youtube which linked to a few different social media sites, hence how I ended up here on #Stemmit along with a few others such as #Minds and #BitChute. They really are some great alternatives out there so thanks Styx!
As you’ve probably seen from my earlier posts, I have an interest in sharing photography. Everything I’ve shared is my own work, which I’d like to continue doing here on Steemit. I may also start a bit of #vlogging (something I’ve never done before!) in future, if I can get my camera setup right.

You are welcome to steem community
Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:
Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
Have Fun and Enjoy!
