RE: Permaculture Playing Cards, Episode 2
Ahh, great subjects!
Messaging isn't integrated on chain yet outside of dust transfers. Partiko however has an on-board encrypted messenger that is really cool that only works between partiko users. But I'm not aware of anything that's more popular than discord, which is not an encrypted messenger but is really versatile and easy to get the hang of. It's hard to talk about discord and steem without mentioning everyone's favorite bot, @ginabot. Probably the most used steem related service ever. She's an awesome steem notification bot that helps you increase engagement and community. Everyone loves Gina.
As for bots, I don't personally have a problem with them. I use some fairly regularly myself, and my favorites are @steembasicincome and @rewards-pool, which is a new one that's really good. Those two are share-based, so you buy into them and are entered in their service. @smartmarket is really easy to use as well, but is more traditional: send steem/SBD, get a series of profitable votes. I do think bots are easily and often abused, but they still provide a valuable service on the chain. Another amazing one to check out is @treeplanter.
Oh...thanks so much for all this info. I don't have any "real life" friends that are on Steemit so am a little behind in understanding common stuff here. For example, I've never even heard of @ginabot. I'll think more on the bot upvoting. Thanks for your opinion. <3
Lol NY real life friends on steem aren't active. Womp. But there's plenty of friends to be made here.
The bots are usually a personal decision. I had a stint with them before when I used to talk politics, but laid off them for a while because I felt uneasy about it. Now that I talk about things that matter, I do t have that inner conflict over it.
Will you be my first friend here? I promise to post interesting things. :) Wishing I had shot photos of my first attempt at traditional fermented injera yesterday. My kitchen still stinks...but I learned a lot I could share with others. My partner thinks I harnessed the same bugs that ferment pulp for paper...it really smelled that bad. Next time I'm using commercial yeast, but it was fun to try with wild yeast in my kitchen. Just hoping my kombucha and jun scobies didn't catch it. It did taste significantly better once cooked.
Hell yes I'll be your steem friend!!!!
Gimme a sec to get home I'll set up some friendly type stuff. We've been out and busy all day touring a permaculture farm, so I have a lot of catching up to do
I'm thrilled. Smiling.
Got you added to the auto voter!
And @ginabot will let me know when you post now :)
Oh thanks! Looks like I have a big learning curve ahead. I just looked up auto voting. Which one do you use. Again, I was previously unaware these things existed. No time today, but I'll be checking out Discord soon and see what Gina can do for me. Thanks again!
Sure thing!
I use SteemAuto. It's the first and only one I use. I use it for friends and important folks that consistently make good posts because I don't want to miss out on supporting them. It also helps a lot with maximizing curation rewards.
Super glad to hear you're exploring here! How long have you been on steem?
