Welcome to Steem, Kizzume! I am replying to this post from steemit.com - 3speak is built on the Steem blockchain, which host many different websites. You can think of Steem as a decentralized database that is immutable, and anyone can use that data to build their own website. Your account here can never be banned or even shadow banned. To upload or an avatar or so anything on Steem you need resource credits, 3speak is no different. Resource credits are basically your “land” on the blockchain where you can post what you want and it’s yours, forever. In the very near future we as users can delegates our unused resource credits, so users will no longer need any Steem or recourse credits to post to the blockchain, the burden will be on the apps to provide those resource credits, not the users. Take a look around, you can even play games on Steem, like www.steemmonsters.com. Steem is owned and operated by the users, there is no ceo, we literally run this place with our stake weighted votes and un-censorable opinions. If you have any question feel free to reach out. I’m going to send you a little Steem to get started on 3speak so you cans see if you like it or not. Cheers and thanks again for giving Steem a try.
