RE: POLL: Which Post/Comment, of someone else, Deserves an Upvote? Why?

in CCC15 days ago

You can only see the poll and click ✅ on some of the answers if you log in to SteemX. Most people can’t do that, and many aren’t willing to sign up for everything.
I was asked to try out the poll, but I think I’m now the only one using it. No problem – there are plenty of questions to ask, and it’s a way to keep in touch, share experiences or just have a chat.
It’s a bit like Monkey Business, which I used to run – asking questions about Steemit.

Until about 1 to 1.5 years ago, the atmosphere there was still toxic, and I tried hard to bring about changes – for example, regarding the issues with moderators, club status and more.
What has helped enormously, by the way, is that I’ve stayed within my own bubble (community). I’m mainly here to write, make connections and not to argue. That doesn’t mean I condone corruption, scams or spam, but I’ve given up on trying to change the world on my own if I always have to fight and others end up taking the credit, whilst I get stabbed in the back and they stand on the sidelines watching.

I love my peace and quiet, and I love writing, painting and things like that. It’s not as if I’m bored stiff and find it a pleasure or a massive thrill to fight a battle I know I’ll lose from the start. I’ve also been away for a while. There’s life outside Steemit, and that’s a good thing. I’d really feel sorry for myself if this were the only thing in my life.
The point is that Steemit gives me energy rather than draining me and causing stress. If that were the case, I’d stop. I understand exactly what you mean.
