New Steemer, Sick of Leftist run Facebook and Twitter

in liberty •  8 years ago 

I am a libertarian and anarcho capitalist and am looking for other freedom minded individuals and I heard that this is the place for me. I'm tired of these authoritarian social media site sheltering people from opposing ideas and was told this is where I need to be. Please help me out I'm new here and I'm trying to figure out how this thing works.

Go to the street! Then you do nothing!

I'm totally with you. Facebook has blocked many of my posts from showing up on my friends' feeds. It's ridiculous. Basically, how steemit works is you create content, which could be a blog or a video, and it is voted on by other community members. The more votes you get, the more you earn. Also, if you vote on a post early after it's creation and it goes viral you can earn that way too (as well as many other ways). How you're paid and how it's converted into cash is fairly complex but it's thoroughly explained in the Steem Whitepaper. Check it out! I hope this helps and good luck!

In a similar boat. The last straw for me on Facebook was the permanent removal of the Occupy Democrats Logic page. I ridded myself of Twitter a long time ago after concluding that it was impossible to engage in any sort of meaningful debate with a 140 character limit. Here's to a freer platform!

I love Steemit. Just today I have learned stuff the government doesn't want me knowing. Welcome to paradise.
