RE: Witness Update - SBDs, Meetups, and More!
I wanted to say thank you for the vote on a recent post of mine, and then I see you not only voted for me but that a steemit colleague (@beeyou) is the first comment I see on your witness, report here, and I did not know you were a witness, so you now have one more witness voter. Thank you for supporting our team/group of newbieresteemday. We are trying to give a hand or leg up to new users, not just handouts, or kicks in the face for saying the wrong thing as happens so often to new users. Once again thank you for your support.
Hey @bashadow - you're welcome! I had the pleasure of meeting @mellofello at the most recent Steem Philly meetup and he seems like a great guy and I really like the #newbieresteemday initiative and would like to do what I can to support it!
Thank you even though I vote a lot, most of my votes got to new users, (except sundays), so not many votes back and that is fine because I know how hard it is to only have ten votes. So I do appreciate your vote.
Maybe next hard fork get that vote slider down to say available at 150 instead of 500SP. But I like voting, and commenting, and helping the new user feel less intimidation. After a bit they do learn that it is okay to comment, That seems to be the biggest fear of new users, and I am not sure that can be solved other than other new users telling them it's okay, so I comment, and other team members comment to let them know. Once again nice to have the support, and thank you.
Hi @yabapmatt. I appreciate your support to @bashadow and our #newbieresteemday initiative. It is very kind of you to show your support, not many big fishes give us red fishes any mind. So thank you!
Our team @beeyou were hesitant about joining this initiative when @davemccoy approached us, because as like you, we all have full time jobs and not much time for Steemit. I am very glad I learned about the initiative and became a cheerleader for the community. Our Newbie team have some of the most good-hearted, caring, and selfless individuals I’ve met, both on and off steemit. Every one of us volunteer some time to help others and I am so proud of them all.
Thank you again for your support. Both @mellofello and @andykapps were very impressed with you after the meetup and that speaks volume, coming from my two teammates who were originally skeptics of this platform. I’m Paula btw, the one girl of our team of guys 🙂. I couldn’t make it to the last meetup but hope to make it to a future one! It would be great to meet like-minded individuals in our area.
