It is a bit dismaying how people game the system, but I try to look at it from the perspective that anything goes here, and the gaming is actually part of the diversity. People can come here and use it how they please. I want to believe there is some genius in that. It just makes it more challenging to curate my own feed and to find people that I connect with for what I think are better reasons. And I’m hoping, honestly, by being true to that it might pay off in ways that will surprise the quick return people. @runningproject has definitely has helped give me a focus and has led to some great connections (like you, obvs :). I also have found some good interaction on various discord channels. #minnowsupport and #pal (peace abundance and liberty) are great. Also #minnowacceleratorproject and #thesteemengine, in case you’re curious. Let me know if you are and have any trouble finding invite codes.
