The Interview Showcase #55 - Exclusive Talk With Scouts y sus Amigos Admin / Venezuelan blogger

In case you are new to this page, this lifestyle program has many educational values. A weekly interview of top users/users in the blog concerning some trending topics on the Steemit platform. And tips that can help other Steemians to progress positively and help boost the Steem’s growth.

It will help you to get to know more about Steemians around the globe and even Steem and Steemit itself.

I take time to look at some of the most important topics in the blockchain and have a chat/call with top Steemians who have a greater idea about those topics.

They also share some tips that can help other users to understand the blockchain and correctly make use of it. Sometimes they seek valuable suggestions here to help them solve some of their challenges.

This week, I had a talk with @fjjrg from Venezuela who is also the Founder of "Scouts y sus Amigos". fjjrg is one of the oldest Steemians on the blog. Let's get to know him. By the way, during this Interview, @fjjrg's daughter Paula was our interpreter.

🔶Fjjrg: It is a pleasure for me to be on your talk show my friend. My day as a Steemian starts very early, I always wake up at 4:30 or 5:00 am, so I have enough time to check the community, and my account, prepare my posts, comment and support with votes the users that have recently posted..

🔶Fjjrg: It is an abbreviation, the initials of my full name, which is Francisco José de Jesús Rodríguez González (@fjjrg).

🔶Fjjrg: Extraordinary, I have achieved in our platform a place where I can share my content without any fear or sorrow, especially in the part of poetry, I have shared a few of my poetic works. On the other hand, I have developed a love for narratives and stories, plus I have met many interesting people, prepared and with good activity. Finally, formidable support from the point of view of finances, since I have supplemented an additional income that has helped my family and friends a lot.

🔶Fjjrg: The community "Scouts and their friends", is a "General" community, whose purpose is to help build a better world, we are based on the guidelines of the scout movement, fraternizing, sharing experiences, helping others, reaffirming values, teamwork, the value of appreciating, caring and respecting nature and animals.

The scouts have a promise and a law, which is like a code of life, and although we are very few active scouts on the platform, undoubtedly everyone has something of scouts, which has been proven in the various activities that we have developed in our community.

Finally, the idea is to promote Scouting, the brotherhood and that everyone knows the scout movement, that they know that anyone can be a scout, regardless of country, age, sex, or religion, it is a universal movement for everyone.
Likewise, it is not necessary to be a scout before one joins our community, this is the home of all, where everyone is welcome.

🔶Fjjrg: It is very true that there are several communities in Venezuela, if you look, each one has a particular vision and is in which a number of people who have the same affinity have joined.

Let me explain: "Steemit Iron Chef", is a community created to share only food and beverage content in any of its presentations, food lovers gather here for it.

"Crypto. kids" is a community focused on children and teenagers, to share school activities, and projects, and support young people in their growth.

"Steem Venezuela" is the pioneer community of our country, here most Venezuelans share content related to our nation, our culture, and our traditions.

"Latin community", whose team is purely Venezuelan but with a vision of continental unity, where users from all over the American continent meet and share activities of the region.

"Venezolanos Steem", a community that has dedicated itself to Art in any of its expressions, music, literature, and painting, among others..

🔶Fjjrg: The platform itself has already broken the barriers of distances and schedules, there are still some language barriers (despite the digital translators there is still some misgivings about it), however, to make steemit a better place, I would try to develop more training activities for multinational teams, to share the verification criteria and that everyone works in the same tune.

Let me explain, the Steemitblog team has given some guidelines, the same ones used for booming votes, a minimum of 300 words (except for photo or painting contests where the image is what is valued), a minimum of 3 own or copyright-free images, no plagiarism, no bots, no AI, however, many publications have only one image, others repeat the photos, others do not reach 100 words, and despite this, they are still supported, so the idea is to unify a minimum criterion that all communities comply with and stick to it..

🔶Fjjrg: I have seen cases of community shutdowns, some large and with great capital, others small and with little performance, however, it is impossible to determine the intentions of the founder or founders.

I understand from my own experience, that creating a community is not easy, because you need a team, at least 3 or 4 people to help you. The other thing you need is a theme, something that no one has developed and that there is no other like it, it makes no sense to make 5, 10, or 20 communities dedicated to sports, the important thing is to specialize.

In my case, I looked for communities of travel, exploration, camping, and outdoor life and I did not find it, so I decided to go ahead with my project of the Scouts and their friend's community.

I suggest that communities should have some sort of "approval" from the Steemitblog team, based on the principle of specialization..

🔶Fjjrg: You should know, my friend, that at the beginning I flatly refused to do it, I didn't like to be sharing so much personal information, however, it was one of the topics that received the most votes. Eventually, I decided to make a test, after reading so many diaries, and I took them as a daily writing exercise, in which I share some things of my daily life and at the same time, I practice the ability to synthesize and narrate some specific experiences. At this moment I am approaching my 200th diary.

🔶Fjjrg: Ok, there are several types of abusers, as for plagiarism, there are those who do it out of ignorance, they are simply oriented and given an opportunity to edit their work, of course, after giving them a little guidance and a warning, they would be allowed to make progress, but In case of repeating the error, the publication is muted.

Usually a user is given a warning three times. At this moment there are about 25 users muted for plagiarism, spam and misconduct.

🔶Fjjrg: I love it, I am plural in this sense, however, I am passionate about salsa, llanera music, ballad and pop. From my homeland, the gaita..
