Thanks @Brittandjosie - there is a steep learning curve here. I know my intentions and they have quite literally nothing to do with money. I understand that this platform can create an income for people and that is great for them. If I was lucky enough to make a few bucks that would be great also. What I am having difficulty adjusting to is the prevalence of bot interaction with posts, and the presence of porn, I thought I was vetting my followers well, then I went to my "feed" and there was hardcore porn on it. I had not searched for porn so this jumped out and go me by surprise. I myself am not really concerned with this, I do however dislike the idea of my wife being exposed to it and also worry about children. I note 13 year old children and above can access this platform legally and also note that simply searching for the Hollywood film XXX would expose them to an abundance of porn. There is also the army of people and bots saying if you follow me I will follow you. Having come from a FB that at one time had 4000 "friends" I am not looking for an army of associates, I am looking to connect with like minds and share and grow. For me I am a blockchain junkie and investor of many cryptocurrencies, I know the blockchain world well. I also understand that first and even second generation blockchain based social media platforms will not be perfect and perhaps have teething issues. I get that. What I mostly disliked was being told to not do things when in my judgement I was not abusing a function. I was simply sharing my thoughts. I have since discovered that the introduceyourself tag is being abused as a money grab. I feel a solution here could be programmed into the platform but that would then become a form of censorship. I will continue with this platform for now and see where it all go for me personally. I also sense that early addopters have a bit of an attitude to those that are new, but that is my opinion and its not confirmed, it is just a gut feeling. Can you help? I am not to be honest, but I thank you for asking. Peace
