I wanted to share some of what's in a block and a few posts that my witness helped put on the blockchain! The idea was @ausbitbank 's and I'm so grateful I started looking. Here's the page where you can find the blocks I witnessed.
https://steemdb.com/@aggroed/blocks
I didn't know what to expect. A few votes? A reply or something. What I found was absolutely astounding.
Here's the page showing the block I witnessed. https://steemdb.com/block/12449949
You'll notice it's a response to @bethyi 's first post- https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@bethyi/my-name-is-beth-and-i-want-to-die
You can see the response by @skycornish that my witness put on the block.
I have multiple friends that have committed suicide, and knowing that my witness has helped one community member support another through their emotional struggle of this magnitude is incredibly touching to me. I didn't write the message, but because of the witness that I run this message got sent. I am so thankful and simply filled with gratitude to this community for supporting one another and allowing me to be a part of it.
@bethyi I want you to know you're loved, you're supported, and we're glad you're here. I'm following and I look forward to your posts. Please write at least once a day for a little bit so we know you're ok. Stay strong!
steemit saving lives and the world one day and one person at a time!!!!!
I know because it is saving mine! so glad I found all of you!
and thank you! we have a great future if we can pull this off!
namaste!

I think a programmer should create a bot that picks up on the word "suicide" then gives them the Suicide Hotline number in an automatic reply.
This is a great story. thanks

I've made $550 once because @dan voted on it and i'm still doing terribly (i did take a 9 month long break though lol). Everyone is chasing the whales apparently. It was actually the reason i quit, the algorithms weren't optimized. Too bad they still aren't :(

Suicide?!? It's actually believable. People cry out on facebook all the time. I think the steem
community is actually more caring; sometimes people you know can be much more cruel then strangers.

@aggroed I am so happy that you share this post for many reasons but above all in order for us to get a grasp of the impact we can all have on each other by being here. If we all embrace this platform with love for humanity, we could truly resonate with someone. It could be life-changing or enough to provide a new perspective and change the course of someone's life. @skycornish your response to the post was very sweet. I truly hope that @bethyi post every day in order for me (us) to provide support and share some virtual love. Steemit - a real community where it not only about cryptocoins but human-kind. So happy to be here.
