I'm pretty new to SteemIt but, since signing up, I've been trying to build a following and provide a unique and, hopefully, interesting perspective of tech news. My posts aren't often the 'feel good' type I see a lot here on SteemIt and my follower count and upvotes are growing at a slow rate but I am encouraged by the enthusiasm I see throughout the SteemIt community.
SteemIt isn't just a place to make money, though some of us seem to be making some serious bank. It's a place to be part of an amazing, caring, and involved community that truly care about important things like digital privacy, human rights, self-improvement, and other useful things. It's not the huge echo chamber that sites like Facebook and Reddit have become. Here, you can still make a real difference and you can make true friends.
So I wanted to take a few moments to just say 'thank you' to the SteemIt community for being so amazing. You've made an old blogger feel very welcomed and I hope that I can create useful content for you for a long time to come. I truly enjoy interacting with you guys and I look forward to what the future holds for all of us.
In Solidarity,
Anthony
