Thanks. There is no privacy on SteemIt, everything is out in the open. If you want to address someone, you need to use his name in a post or comment for him or her to see.
That’s why we use Discord. At least a little privacy - lol ;0)
And a very good bot that lets you know whenever someone calls out your name .

But take it one step at a time. It’s a lot to digest. And it takes time and patience to grow here.
Earlier this week I read a post by someone who was a big name on other social media, but she said what was correct: onSteemIt, everyone has to start from zero again.

Just know, we’ve got your back if you need anything ;0)
