RE: SILVER LINING #3
That's true, too! Since 2004 I've written on/for quite a few platforms. I habitually make copies of my posts now, because I've watched platform after platform get bought out and destroyed by competition. Because if one company can't beat another, it purchases it and then "consumes" it. That's the main reason why I continue to keep my website rolling. It's a place people can come back to that stays even if the sites I've written for disappear. Oh. Just thinking about the dead links.... work for another day.
Oh yeah, that's a good strategy. That's why I hope Steemit is for the long haul, but just in case it isn't I have kept copies of everything I wrote, ready to be posted elsewhere at any moment's notice. I do have a website, too, though, but I've been slacking off in renovating it haha!
That's the smart way to do it... copies and copies and copies. J/K
I hope so too! This platform has so much potential! I'm excited to be here as it develops.
Me, I'm just glad I returned when I did. I'm grateful I didn't miss too much, though most of the people I started with are now fully-fledged whales and dolphins haha!
I hear you there. I went months without being on and constantly wonder where I'd be if that hadn't been the case.
Oh that's right! I think you were gone for far longer than I was. If there's anyone who could relate to my hiatus it would be you. But, your reasons were far more personal. For me, I mostly went on a hiatus for my sanity's sake.
Maintaining sanity is important and taking a hiatus from any social media can be a blessing.
People often forget that they have a life outside the online world these days.
