I find Steemit to be pretty interesting, and my stumbling upon it pretty fortuitous. I have never been a fan of social networking in general due to their tribalistic bubbles, political bents in either direction, or policies which stifle free speech. Part of me was beginning to think that the days of sharing opinions and having to jump through hoops or cater to get an audience was forever going to be the norm.
Let's face it... social media is currently dominated by corporations; which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but currently it seems the plights of advertisers, agendas, or politics is warping the expression of the free internet into self censorship or face excommunication from those services.
Basically I'm here to partake in this experiment. The concept is compelling and I'm looking to bring back some of the types of discussions I used to have blogging in the 90s. If you're interested in things like anthropology, fossils, general science, worldbuilding, art, etc... I'm sure we'll be engaging in discussion at some point.
