I have also been very lax in my own social media interactions and activity in recent years. I kind of got disgusted by the abuse of privacy, among other things. I also hate drama and with politics getting so ugly, the drama was so off-putting. But like you I have been working back up to more involvement. I want to build a network based on trust and common interests. I now have two Twitter accounts — one for work/profession (eg the Twitter version of my LinkedIn account) and one for everything else, which includes my creative writing communities and Steem.

I like the idea of helping to grow Steem awareness, interest and membership through social media. Not in a kind of campaign blitz type of thing, but as you said — gradually. I would like to see the Steem blockchain create buzz and excitement again, but more organically and sustainably, if that makes sense. If tons of people jump on board like miners to a gold rush, it’s all about the desire for wealth and striking it rich, which I believe is a recipe for volatility. And that won’t get us anywhere.

The plan to share other people’s content on Twitter is really smart. That is something I can start doing even with my crazy schedule!
