RE: Daily Discussion No. 4: How Important is Engagement and Community for the Future of Steemit?
While the rewards of using this platform are nice, I have found the communities around Steemit to be the reason I stay here. It took me a little while to settle in, to find my niche. I have cultivated some nice relationships with Steemians through the various Discord servers, networked with minnows, dolphins, and whales alike in @ShadowsPub's Pimp Your Post Thursday. That said, engagement and communities are essential to the survival of the Steemit platform. We can do that by encouraging others to make the switch from censorship to freedom of voice. Don't just upvote a post, comment on it. If you can take the time to upvote it, you can take the time to leave a sentence about it. Get the dialogue started. Comments lead to replies. Fact.
Thanks for the discussion, @denmarkguy.

Thanks for adding your voice, Mo! Taking a few extra seconds to interact is what "makes" this site, in many ways... even though engagement here has been declining for a few months, this is still one of the more interactive sites on the web, and we should continue to do whatever we can to encourage that.
