Thank you for this post! As a newbie it's encouraging to read stuff like this. It's so easy to become disillusioned straight away when many, many peoples focus on here seems to be the money alone, or having to fathom all these bots while wondering where the real people are and how to connect with them (for this I'm realising some of the Discord channels can help). One thing I'm grappling with is wanting to write some pretty deep reflections on life and share them with the world, but as a newbie knowing that only a small handful of people might see them. Kind of an incentive to wait a while, build up a following, and save my 'best' content til later on. I wonder if that holds other newbies back when they're just arriving here?

Thank you again for bringing a passionate voice and some beautiful art :-)
