Since I started posting more stuff on my new account it has really hit home just how inhibited I've become on this one. I'm now a conservative old fart, too scared to burp, fart, scratch my nuts, or say fuck. (or post any strange pics)
Here are three things I've become too inhibited to do on this account:
To let go of my role playing as a good Steemian.
Yes I've been here for two years. But lets face it, things have changed, many of the people I used to hang out with have disappeared, most of my 1840 odd followers are probably bots, and I don't have a chance in hell of getting a decent payout without using a bunch of other bots. (And that time I got $400 for a post is ancient history!)
The upside to all this is that if I don't have to be on my best behavior to win friends and influence people, I might as well stop doing that and just post whatever shit I want to.
To discuss the zionist control of the alt media, including on Steemit.
Now I don't just mean that lump of crap Alex "the shill" Jones - I mean nearly the whole frigging lot of it including Qanon, (people seriously believe that shit?) Ben Shapiro (hardcore zionist orthodox jew married to an Israeli), Julian Assange/Wikileaks (take note of what they don't ever mention!), and a vast number of the posts on Steemit under the tag "informationwar".
This website has a great summary - https://nationalvanguard.org/2018/08/the-jews-who-run-the-supposedly-alternative-media/ Yes, the guy who set the site up may well be dodgy, but that essay is pure gold.
To make a real fresh start.
Truth is I've never been able to really do it on this account. After two years on Steemit I feel like I've built up a massive history. And in a way I have. But like a lot of people who have been here two years I'd like to take what I've learned, press reboot and start again without all the old school rules in my head.
This new Steemit is a different place - sometimes I wish I could press reboot on Steemit itself and go back to the 2017 one, but I can't...
I never planned to do this, but lately I'm getting the feeling I might just switch over to mostly being on Steemit rather than
. Sort of a personality reboot.
Like one of those non-binary men who suddenly start wearing dresses, I'm feeling some repressed urges to express myself. Not as a tranny though, that was just an analogy.

So that was three things to start off with, but like someone who hasn't had a dump for two years, I think I may have some more backlog. (compacted fecal matter...)
Taking stock of my account, I now realise that my heroic 64 rep can be surpassed, that my hundreds of old posts are actually bloody hard to search through, and that most of those 1840+ followers are not really very close friends (but many thanks to the ones who actually are). The part that I value most is the "Joined August 2016" start date and my new account doesn't have that. But does anyone else ever notice those dates anyway?
