and i thought people might get confused when they tried to use DeSo. this is way more complicated lol.

and it's super tricky, i wonder how exactly people get onboarded here in a way that actually gets them started with that more complex stuff.

i could of course ask someone to tell me the ideal steps to take to get involved with delegating to try to do that as soon as possible. but this is crypto stuff. scams are in every other megabyte and for all i know someone could use your avatar and slightly alter the way your username is and yeah it's not that i have to be careful, i have to take my time.

not that i would expect you or anyone to necessarily even tell me (or be able to tell me) how to immediately hook into some bot that could result in ~free moneys~, but i don't think i could even ask because i don't know that i know enough to know if i were being scammed.

outside of someone telling me to delegate to a bot because "bot's dev team is doing great A+++ job and i very much looking forward to amazing successes all people involved shall share, you should delegate now or might miss out on this super alpha opportunity" - that sounds like it would probably be a legit person and i don't think i would say no to that kind of opportunity, things like that don't come around more than once in a lifetime.

but, i mean, if you have some tips, i'm all ears. LOL

i don't know exactly how to know when i should stop voting and wait for a recharge, i don't know how to know to use the % slider (i don't think my votes count for enough now where that's really a thing to worry about?), and i don't know if i should actively be looking for things to downvote (i don't want to use that really unless it's literally for no-effort copied content that i stumble upon, someone just being an ass just means i will ignore, i have no desire to spread negativity myself).

i do know i need to spend more time looking at other people's stuff, and upvoting that kind of thing moreso than every single comment i get (which i stopped doing for the most part since i figured i should recharge). but i don't know what might offend people either. if i don't upvote a comment, are there people who will then decide "guess i better not comment on her posts again"? :D

right now i'm building a site that will pull in my content from the other b-chain i'm on, and i'll be able to format it and create custom content to go alongside it, essentially as a way to have a sense of ownership over it. at least, i will have the ability to own how it might appear in google searches, since i should be able to rank my profile and content higher than any node since i can add additional content to the pages that will set it apart from the places just copying what went out on the b-chain. and then at least the hope (though, this is also not a major concern of mine) would be for my own site to act as a personal hub for my b-chain existence. i can highlight my content on specific nodes, ignore ones that may in the future not be appealing to me, etc. i could run ads on the pages if i wanted, in order to further monetize the content. i don't intend to, but a big motivating factor for why i decided to do this is because i realized nothing stops any other site from running ads with my content from the b-chain, so getting ahead of the curve on the SEO could be nice.

and now i'll likely see about pulling in my content from here as well.

i'm certainly capable of working on bigger projects. but i want to be able to properly balance all of what i end up doing. if i get big into dev work, i'll be sacrificing time to spend creating content, though of course dev work is also creating, and i love it. but i'll worry about thinking about that kinda stuff once i've been here long enough to actually know my way around things. 😃
