<html> <p>Oh! My God! It has been three years since I've posted on Steemit! I'm sorry! And I hope to make that apology mean something, by producing a lot of written (and maybe other) joy (unless it's tragic).</p> <p>I've been distracted by trying to fit in with normal! I even signed up to FB again (only for business and stalking). I've been trying to fit in with a structure that serves corporate culture and hooks into constant scrolling. I self-censor by not posting personal content, only crypto news on a page I manage for some folks who still battle with browser tabs. And I will keep doing that for the love of humanity trying to avoid scams.</p> <p>I've been pretending to write, producing a few articles on Medium, wondering if I'll get claps or a few dollars. I haven't been successful, but then I've been working for the 'family business', teaching English online, attempting to grow cannabis and educate myself. Today I thought I should just make sure that I've done everything correctly so Medium could pay me. Yeah, right! They couldn't pay me even if they wanted to, unless I create a business in the US. </p> <p>That's overkill when we have crypto!</p> <p>So, today, I rediscovered Steemit! I searched many alternatives. Nothing comes close! </p> <p>Here's what convinced me to embrace Steemit again:</p> <ul> <li>crypto & blockchain - the infrastructure is pioneering</li> <li>the community rewards you for content, not some central algorithm </li> <li>you're rewarded for commenting - encouraging community</li> <li>decentralization - we've really had enough of central authorities</li> <li>downvoting - the community polices itself</li> <li>dapps - I need some education here (I've noticed a lot of references to dapps on the steemit blockchain)</li> <li>continual development</li> <li>galaxies of like-minded beings</li> </ul> </html>
