Sounds like there's a lot to blame (thank?) your brother for. His posts were the first I came across that didn't leave me wondering why it was upvoted as much as it was. Still don't know how it took me a couple more years to run into you.
I'll admit, my reasons for joining that which shall not be named were purely mercenary. I'd glanced at the trending photography posts, thought 'I can do better than that' and gave it a go. I quickly realized that it wasn't quite so simple but the friends I've made and the communities I've found more than offset my imagined windfall.
Anyways, happy birthday/anniversary/celebration thingy sir! Glad to have made your acquaintance, hope to see you around for many more of these posts.
Lol, yeah blame my brother, I do! 🤪
It's a complex beast to be honest right? Hive. That's why I tend to just stay in my own lane and avoid the drama that seems to unfold here, as in the real world. I have enough to deal with without finding more.
I apply the be my best version strategy here, as in life, and largely it has worked. Those who wish to engage do so, like you, and others don't. Same as the real world. I invest my time in the engagers and in creating a space where I can find some enjoyment.
I didn't know you'd followed my brother for a few years prior to me but at least we connected and here we are, still doing so.
I hope you're well.
I don't know how your brother(s) are but mine always thought that was the best strategy 🤣
Complex, at the very least. Just when I think I'm starting to get it doped out something else changes. I wind up mixed up in enough excitement without going and looking for extra, I try and do about the same as you.
How many of these birthday-versary things do we have to have before we get to start making old timer jokes to the johnny-come-latelys?
Hmm, considering the churn-rate I'd say we're qualified to make old-timer remarks with impunity.
