NEW STEEMIAN ALERT.
I am so excited to be part of this new community. In retrospect, this is really the ideal platform I have been looking for. A place where one can exercise their freedom of speech and thought while at the same time earning from it. A place to have an influence on the world through only the power of your written word. Such a platform is a credit to humanity for it allows the best of the best opinions to have a voice. Standard social media really allows all to have a voice, even those that really do not deserve to have theirs heard. Being part of this for me is really the greatest satisfaction possible as a writer, because you know your material is going to have an impact. You know that the one reading it can appreciate the value of it. One doesn't expect to get intelligent comments on Facebook, yet here that's all you get. This is the future of social media, in a truly enlightened world, such a platform would be considered as healthy social media, as good constructive social media that does more to connect people than anything else out there. As a source of knowledge it has no parallel, as a social site it brings the best people together and gives them a space to deliberate, what can't come out of a place like that? Platforms like this have the possibility to start things, create change in the society by creating change in individuals.
I am glad I got this learning opportunity and are optimistic that I will be quite a successful steemian.
Cheers my fellow Steemians.
Welcome to the platform!
