Welcome to the Universe and new home of Oddly Even_
Hello everyone, I'm Oddly Even and I'm new to Steemit, so please bear with me as I learn how to navigate this new platform. I'm a career professional and had previously used Facebook to post all my comedic content, jokes, street art from around San Francisco, where I've lived for 11 years. Now Facebook has frozen my account, causing me to lose all my followers and previous content. This is the fourth time it's happened. I've tried Instagram and Twitter, but FB was my main platform. Now, they're again asking me for my personal ID to change my name from Oddly Even. Which I've been using over 2 decades. I use this moniker because I'm a professional engineer and don't want coworkers to see and report my content, which can be edgy and not politically correct. (Like most good comedy). Anyways, sorry for the long intro, just wanted to explain my story and say hello to everyone as I start out a new adventure, cutting the FB umbilical and using Steemit from now on. Thanks for having me and I hope you return to follow my content. Thank you!
Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Welcome to steemit @oddlyeven.

Heeeeeey! Welcome aboard @oddlyeven :) Glad to see you made it! Let me know if you need any help with anything. Getting started on Steem can be a bit...well hard, but it's worth it to figure out.
One thing I'll tell you off the bat though is to remember that Steemit is just one of many apps/sites where you can access Steem. There's also
https://steempeak.com/
https://busy.org/
Partiko
and many others
Check em out and find what works best for you, and have fun! :D
Thank you! Appreciate the tips!
Welcome to Steem, Oddlyeven! We've many here who are fed up with Facebook's and Twitter's b.s. so you're in good company. Happy to have someone bring their comedy to the chain as I'm always looking for a laugh. (And I personally couldn't give a rat's ass about being politically correct but do recognize that it can be detrimental when coworkers go reporting one's social media content to the boss. 😎) Wishing you success and fun in your journey on our platform and please feel free to ask any questions that you may have.
We encourage everyone to explore the various posts and to leave personal comments on those that you wish (for example - thoughts regarding the content or a sharing of a similar experience you've had). This platform thrives through interaction as it's the best way to build relationships with other Steemians while finding communities and initiatives that peak your interests.
We like to advise bloggers to cite if images, videos, etc. used in their posts are of their own creation. This practice gives the creators an opportunity to have it clearly labeled that the works portrayed are the rightful property of the party posting it.
Another tip that we share with everyone is to be careful of copyright infringement when using material that is not of their original creation. Content (for example - images from a website) that grants permission for reuse is acceptable for content creators to utilize within their posts provided there is appropriate attribution to the source. Here's a link that will provide you with more information.
We wanted to let you know, we have given you a 25% upvote, are now following you, and are introducing you to everyone we know. You can visit our post HERE.
You can also visit our discord server, The Steem Terminal, which is your one-stop location for learning about destinations on the Steem Blockchain & Discord. Here you will find people who are willing to answer the questions you may have as a new Steemian, documents to assist you, a place to learn and practice, and find out about the many opportunities to connect with other Steemians!
Welcome to the Steem Community.
Welcome to Steem. Sorry to hear what happened! nothing new.
We are seeing whole companies leave now.
Hey there! Welcome! I’m sorry to hear about your issues with FB, and it seems to be happening more and more. I’m glad you’ve found the censorship resistant Steem here 🙂
Ignore all these automated welcome messages, the goal is to help you find your community.. but I swear there are real people here too 😁
The key here is to go out and engage on other individuals posts who have the same interests, which helps you find your following as well.
Lots of chatting/learning/networking happens on discord too, as we don’t have an on Steem chat quite yet. Midlet can probably point you in the right direction for those if you are interested.
Anyways, glad you are here!
It's not because a message is automated that :
Anyway, all I know is that newcomers who actually took the time to read my comment are very happy with it. I still believe a directory is the best way to give newcomers a good start on this platform...
Of course it's easier to flag away without reading...
I did read it and I see it on every introduction post. It’s not unique to the author and while I do understand automation is needed here to keep up with it all, these feel like a cheap sales pitch.
Thank you for explaining that you are in fact a real person behind the comment just using automation to help cover more ground. I removed the flag. But still, 10 well intentioned comments directly new comers to projects or websites is very much spammy and I would argue it’s not beneficial.
Well, thanks for answering and sharing your opinion.
I don't think it's a cheap sales pitch... after all, I'm selling nothing here :-)
I'm just trying to give newcomers a starting point when arriving here. When I first started I wished someone told me who to check out first to make the first days/weeks a bit interesting. Because let's be honest, when you're new here it are not the most interesting posts you see in the feed...
And yes, automation seems the most appropriate way to point people to the directory. I spent a lot of time on steemit… but I still didn't discover a way to be here 24/7...
Anyway, thanks again for the constructive comment and I hope you will at least take a look at the directory and tell me what you think about it...
We're super functional. Really.
Thanks! He's been huge help so I'm in good hands!
