My entry into Steemitverse wasn't a smooth one. See some people think having been here a little longer gives them some real-world power (LOL) and aren't really nice, but they will make themselves look very 😇 and helpful even when in fact they are out to become the next Donald Trump wannabe. I'm a "natural sociologist" as one of my college professor's said to me years ago, so overlooking easily the hypocrisy for mere power and money 🤑, but most specifically the smooching is hard to do. Here's to the guy that believes hiding behind a computer and pouncing on new account holder's by calling them "retards" makes you look more manly and mature, and to the nobody where you won't be accepted anywhere else but inside that computer and are flagging people just to enjoy some 'strength' and fake self-esteem, to the guy that trolls other's hard work when they are posting excellent photographs and some positivity into Steemitverse (dude you really aren't funny at all). As you can see there are trolls of all levels, not just the ignorance of a few new account holder's that are probably no older than 19 (if you are older than this and displaying this kind of behavior you may need some professional help).
On a different note, this is a relatively new social site there's space for everyone, for all kinds of styles, subjects and interests ---there's even space for the immature jerk (sigh). We can make this place stronger by being genuine (no kissing up needed), and just by posting good quality content (no plagiarizing, no posting pictures out of the net without credit to its source).
✌🏻
I'm too new to comment, but am still looking for my niche. Sigh It will come, I am sure. Just like Christmas does. :)

I am grateful for this post @coquiunlimited, it is good to know there is some awareness out there, and a hope for maturity and recognition of quality.
You have been given my first ever (that I remember) 100% upvote, and be sure I will resteem this.♥♥

LOL, thank you Jerry hadn't even noticed you weren't voting with 100%. Happy to hear then that this post was worthy of it.

I don't understand all this 'voting power, vote percentage'...it is all so confusing.
I started out like everyone I guess, with 100% vote power, and I was voting a lot, not knowing any better.
My vote power dropped down to about 30%, and my votes were worthless.
I stopped voting, for three days I would just comment how good I thought the post was, and waited until my vote power went above 60%.
Then someone gave me some steem, which gave me the slider, since then I've not voted anywhere 100% until now.
My Vote power has been nearly 100% a few times, so I've been increasing the amount per vote.
What is the point of having a vote, if you can't vote for the things you want to vote for?
I hope someday to be able to understand all this @coquiunlimited

Oh it drives me crazy too! I've missed out on voting on some good posts because of that exact problem. And some people (that have been here much longer and should know better) complain about some people commenting and not voting, forgetting that maybe they're new and don't understand all this madness and might not be able to vote. Or are strategizing like I have to sometimes in order to vote when my voting power is stronger. It's come to a difficult science! Even if I'm not making much I actually appreciate the comments, because it means someone is appreciating my posts.
Many folks here get greedy and want to see only dollar signs, forgetting that in other popular places they didn't make a cent.
By the way, use ChainBB to keep an eye on how much voting power you have and try to keep it above 80, preferably at 90. If you wait between votes at about 1.5 hrs this too will help.

Thanks @coquiunlimited, therein lies yet another stress point for me.
So far, I have been encouraged to go to
Steemchat
Steemnow (I do use that, I see my voting power, my money and other things, still useless)
PAL , Discord and now
Chain BB. (There are others that I don't remember right now.)

I've tried most of them! I find Steemstats (use only on a larger device than your phone) very helpful. ChainBB to help you vote and stay within your voting limits and to answer. Now to post I only trust Steemit (I've lost posts on eSteem and Busy). I sometimes also answer from ESTEEM if I'm on my iPad Pro, not my cel phone ( it crashes and doesn't work well at all).

Why use any of them, if you can do all that from here? Voting I mean, Posting from a third party? why?
I don't do anything on social media from my phone. If I'm stuck in a waiting room, I may look at FB, and I would steemit, but it isn't convenient.
I will check in, and post a pic from various places using FB, but that is it.
Anything else can wait for me to get home and on my PC
If I google ChainBB, will that take me there?

I'm not in my home often, I'm often stuck in doctor's appointments. I'd go crazy for that many hours without doing anything. I dislike Facebook, spent many wasted years there. As for all the different sites, that's because I can't do all those things in one place---here on Steemit. As for ChainBB, it can be found https://beta.chainbb.com, it has a voting slider and you can keep tabs on your voting power thus enabling more votes.

What about this one @coquiunlimited? It seems to be associated with Minnow Support, and I think it is a chat room.
I don't do chat, but I've joined.

Thank you for that follow. Glad you agreed with my post. People are focusing way too much on the new member's without realizing or acknowledging their own negative and unwelcoming behavior. I'm flattered you find the rest of my work of your liking. Happy Sunday to you as well.
