Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at [https://www.steemiandir.com](https://www.steemiandir.com/) I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Welcome to Steem. Sorry to hear what happened! nothing new.
We are seeing [whole companies](https://morningchalkup.com/2019/05/23/crossfit-shutters-facebook-instagram-accounts-amid-data-privacy-concerns/) leave now.

Hey there! Welcome! I’m sorry to hear about your issues with FB, and it seems to be happening more and more. I’m glad you’ve found the censorship resistant Steem here 🙂 

Ignore all these automated welcome messages, the goal is to help you find your community.. but I swear there are real people here too 😁

The key here is to go out and engage on other individuals posts who have the same interests, which helps you find your following as well. 

Lots of chatting/learning/networking happens on discord too, as we don’t have an on Steem chat quite yet. Midlet can probably point you in the right direction for those if you are interested. 

Anyways, glad you are here!

Good to see you moving to STEEM. It can take a while to get settled in and find your way but there is a great community of users here. Feel free to ask questions and make sure to engage. It's the best way to get moving on here and start building up a good following.

Greetings from Brittandjosie from the Netherlands

Welcome to the steemit community @oddlyeven!
Haha, I live in south San Jose, and yes, Fakeb.. I mean Facebook's time is almost up; I'm not quite on the same level that you are in that my profession doesn't depend on them. 
Well no matter what, we sincerely hope you find all that you are looking for here, and have found a new home here.

Six suggestions:
	1. guard your passwords carefully, and only post with the posting key,
	2. only use your active key for wallet transactions,
	3. Master password is only for resetting new passwords,
	4. do NOT lose your passwords; copy and store off line,
	5. Don't post other people's work, whether photos or written without credit, and
	6. when you open up your steemit.com, up in the upper right corner of the page is 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a whole lot of reading material that will help you.
	
I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie of @heyhaveyamet featured and promoted your post to get more exposure and help you grow quicker.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or you have any questions there are knowledgeable steemians available that can assist you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

Welcome to Steem, Oddlyeven!  We've many here who are fed up with Facebook's and Twitter's b.s. so you're in good company.  Happy to have someone bring their comedy to the chain as I'm always looking for a laugh.  (And I personally couldn't give a rat's ass about being politically correct but do recognize that it can be detrimental when coworkers go reporting one's social media content to the boss. 😎)  Wishing you success and fun in your journey on our platform and please feel free to ask any questions that you may have.

***
We encourage everyone to explore the various posts and to leave personal comments on those that you wish (for example - thoughts regarding the content or a sharing of a similar experience you've had).  This platform thrives through interaction as it's the best way to build relationships with other Steemians while finding communities and initiatives that peak your interests.

We like to advise bloggers to cite if images, videos, etc. used in their posts are of their own creation.  This practice gives the creators an opportunity to have it clearly labeled that the works portrayed are the rightful property of the party posting it.

Another tip that we share with everyone is to be careful of copyright infringement when using material that is not of their original creation.  Content (for example - images from a website) that grants permission for reuse is acceptable for content creators to utilize within their posts provided there is appropriate attribution to the source.  Here's a  [link](https://steemit.com/steemcleaners/@steemcleaners/the-importance-of-citation) that will provide you with more information.
