RE: Day 295: 5 Minute Freewrite: Friday - Prompt: burning
I absolutely agree. I've been helped along by the curation and engagement leagues, and many find other communities, like freewrite to fall into. We probably need to figure out a better way to get newcomers oriented and set up with people to see if we can retain more of them. Starting off with the warning that, "Steemit is not a get rich quick scheme" and go from there. :)
I agreed. Some of the Discord founders have attempted to get an upfront expectation. Unfortunately, most newbiew joined discord group to expect to get upvote without any contribution. Sad but this is the fact
Well, they're told to do that, too, except apparently they either don't hear or ignore, or it wasn't said, that they need to do something first. I've shied away from all of that myself, but if it serves as a better means than what's currently available to get people some proper orientation, I guess it's better than nothing. I ended up reading through the Steemit FAQs and the etiquette posts, but that's apparently too much to ask and is also probably outdated somewhat.
yeah, having said that, there are legitimate discord group that really tried their best to help their own community members. They consistently keep their members aware of their obligation before asking for upvote. It is very time consuming and needed patience with these newbies
hopefully, more newbie get educated to jump into the band wagon and start to contribute as well
cheers
