MY NEW ADVENTURES IN SOCIAL MEDIA<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Does Steemit still have an upside after all?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After venturing onto pretty much no social media platforms other than Steemit for nearly three years, recently I’ve been out exploring the wilderness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not going to get into all the reasons why I haven’t been a happy little Steemian lately here, because I want to be more positive today in this post. (Louise Hay told me to creatively visualize!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

First I’ll mentions a few other platforms I checked out that were interesting:<\/strong><\/p>\n

DISCORD is quite handy for private (if anything online is really private) chat, and although it’s a bit complex, it is well set up. I only use it for fast communication with a few friends, and don’t aim to expand beyond that (hence not publicizing my own account) but it does work pretty well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

POCKETNET is very new blockchain that gives users an equal say in the voting, and has no whales. It needs more development, but it’s only been going a month, and improvements are rapidly happening. It’s new and has a good vibe. I am using it, and hope to see it continue growing<\/strong><\/p>\n

TWITTER locked me out of my original account about five years ago, and I have recently set up a new account, but that is really just to suss it out, and to follow one or two specific people – it does have a lot of members and some good stuff manages slip through the sea of crap, but I’m not a big fan of Twatter, so I won’t mention my new account URL here (and no, it isn’t Frot!).<\/strong><\/p>\n

GAB totally cracks me up because it shreds libtards and has heaps of funny pictures and memes. I share and repost a few funny pictures on my GAB page here:<\/strong><\/p>\n

FROT.CO.NZ – My own website and blog is a place where I feel like I can post what I feel like and not have to look over my shoulder, and there is some pretty good stuff on there. It has 722 pages and has racked up over 10 million hits!<\/strong><\/p>\n
