First Impressions

I've been Steeming along for about a day now. I have learned a lot but have a long road to travel yet. Breaking a personal record, I have 'signed up' for several sites including:

• DTube @DTube (https://d.tube/)
• Utopian @utopian-io (https://utopian.io/)
• Steepshot @Steepshot (https://steepshot.io/)
• DLive @DLive (https://dlive.io/)
• Busy @Busy.org (https://busy.org)

Feature Requests

I wrote a brief Feature Request Post, and have found that most of the features I want are on Busy.org. Steem is turning out to be everything that I thought Medium would be.
The main thing that I am missing is the idea of publications. I want me to be me and then to have a series of sub-me's that are topically focused. I would also like to be able to work with a group of people and have that as a separate 'channel'/'publication'.

Help

I am also used to quickly posting then checking for things that need editing. With everything being permanently stuck on the chain I hyper-edit before I post to spare the embarrassment from my great-grandchildren seeing my typos. Does this really matter?
I still do not understand the ramifications of voting or delegating my vote. I feel like it is possible to downvote something but I have not figured out how to do that. I accidentally flagged a post but I think I was able to unflag it in time. I think I have figured out what witnesses do and have voted for two of them. I discovered that there is no mining of STEEM but there are things called full nodes that I need to look into. I do not understand what the 100% reward vs 50/50 reward means either.
There are many bots that want me to give them steem of one sort or another. @introbot gave me a few ways to look up my stats but I do not know how much steem tokens I have or will have or why I should use all these bots. This is an extension of my confusion over voting and delegations.

Much Love

We Build on Foundations We Did Not Lay
We build on foundations we did not lay
We warm ourselves by fires we did not light
We sit in the shade of trees we did not plant
We drink from wells we did not dig
We profit from persons we did not know
This is as it should be.
Together we are more than any one person could be.
Together we can build across the generations.
Together we can renew our hope and faith in the life that is yet to unfold.
Together we can heed the call to a ministry of care and justice.
We are ever bound in community.
May it always be so.

Thanks to @introbot, @brandonfrye, and @therealwolf for helping me to start my Steem.
