Let me tell you something. If Steem is partly social media - and it is -, then this is the first and only social media platform I've spent any significant amount of time on.
Don't get me wrong! I've had accounts on other social media platforms. But I treated them as appendixes of my blog, or they were simply dead. One I closed - my personal Facebook account.
You can use them for business and build different type of audiences on them. For this use, they are handy. For personal use, they are horrible, in my honest opinion.
Besides the obvious that you are the product on a free social media platform, personally I have a limited stamina for social interactions. They drain me, most of the time. It's different with other people, who feel invigorated the more they talk or debate.
So I focus on Steem, which despite all odds (because of the social media part), I love.
On Steem, I focus on:
slowing growing my stake here, by investing and using the platform continuously. In this regard, on September 13th I reached my Steem Power goal for the entire year: 1500 SP. Granted, it was quite an easy goal, and the drop in Steem price and my consistency helped in achieving it much earlier than I thought I would have.
helping communities, DApps and other steemians grow, and offer support (including knowledge) as much as I can.
writing posts, commenting on other people's posts if I have something to say (after reading them, obviously), and replying to comments on my own posts, when there are. On Discord it is much more tiring to keep up with a conversation, especially on a public channel, so I generally gave up on this endeavor.
Adoption of Steem will be helped the more people outside the phenomenon hear about it.
I've brought Steem out to my list, my blog, and now to my new Twitter account, created especially for Steem (and possibly crypto in general).
I know a few steemians who have joined following my advice, but I think I should talk with them, because I checked and they are inactive...
