Not since I went to a high school church youth group meeting to try and score with a girl I liked, have I found a community that is this positive.
Thanks @zeartul for this awesome Minnow Whale.
@aggroed has done something I didn't think was possible on the internet. And it's not just because of the upvotes for new members and small members and shy members. He's created a community that I hadn't felt in the whole time I've been part of this site.
And it's all in the name. Peace, Abundance, Liberty
It's funny because to really get in on the action, you have have to join the P.A.L. Channel on the DISCORD App. Discord worried me. Unharmonious. Angry. Trolling. Those were the words that came to mind. But I haven't seen it yet. In the group (which as of the writing of this has around 200 people viewing the chat room) people come to chat. They come to joke, and more than that they come to give advice to anyone that needs it.
EVERY single time a new user has asked for the small couple of pennies needed to complete registration, it has immediately been given. I mean what other group that you've been a part of GIVES away money to people so they can join. Scientology will happily help you mortgage your house to pay for your participation, but what would Tom Cruise say if you asked him to PayPal'd you some entry cash?
Does the Pope send you a crisp $5 bill to throw in the collection plate?
There are ways of getting your post exposure and upvotes. That's incredible. There are rooms for peer review of your writing. That's awesome. There are channels for advice, and humor and community.
And better yet, there aren't just people screaming, "Steem to the moon!" every five seconds... Although it gets a nod from time to time.
I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I missed the trollbox when it went away from Poloniex recently, but I never imagined that I would find a community as diverse and positive and active as the one I've recently become a part of.
If you're not a part of the conversation, there's an easy way in. If you're curious what other people are talking about, reach out. And if you have questions about how this whole f'ing ecosystem works, there are answers.

please make sure to give credit for the above minnow whale thank you.
Thank you very much for speaking up. I always want to give credit for awesome work, and didn't immediately find where it had originated. Awesome design! Credited in post.
Thank you I appreciate it!
The selflessness of @aggroed and @EVERYONE (joke aside) is amazing. It is inspiring and infectious. The humility and compassion of you guys, @jhermanbeans and the rest of the community, is crazy. Keep it up!!!
@everyone is like a text from your mother when you're waiting on a booty call.
got spammed with those earlier no?
Haha, yup.
Would love to chat with you guys on discord :) once i get my laptop back from repair .
Pretty amazing idea about supporting minnows since we got so many freshmen coming up every single second !
Careful not to mention @ everyone.. Don't want to make it a 'thing' :p
haha too late.
Thankfully, it's been few and far between.
I'm glad to see the trollbox in poloniex go away. Yeah it was kind of half of the experience, but I also remember when you could have real conversations in there without it being absolutely cluttered with madness, ddoxing, and spamming.
I enjoy the community and voice that people have here at community, but here's an upvote to push for a new chatbox! :D
PS, tom cruise sucked in the new Mummy lol

That channel has amazing and the most helpful people. In fact, I was new when I joined the channel and didn't have any steem to send Steemvoter and Streemian. I didn't even have to ask. @whatamIdoing instantly sent me 1 SBD, saying having a little extra will make me feel good.
Of course @aggroed, @ausbitbank and several others there are doing everything they can to help Minnows.
Seriously, that's what I'm talking about.
yes I agree this is a really positive community. that is one big thing that puts it above all other social networking platforms
I know. So little trolling. And when it does happen, it gets smacked down.
Thank you for spreading as well this message to the ones, which missed it.Appreciated that @aggroed is doing that. I am a minnow and this keeps me motivated.
HolySmoke! You forgot to mention all the Cool Emoji's !!!
Seriously though, Nice post ! Following the Beans, but just standing off to one side sorta upwind... ;)
