The discreet charm of abandoned things - EPISODE 10 - THE WRECK OF A SOCIAL PLATFORM

Ever wondered how it looks to crawl through the dark virtual corridors of an abandoned social network, filled with scattered thoughts and uploads, maybe haunted with ghosts of departed users and some sporadic lost souls that still pretend to be alive, or are just unaware that this is not the virtual life, but the grim and dark afterlife ? Would you like to enjoy that experience ? If your answer is no - be free to explore some of my more optimistic posts, or some cool posts of the many cool creative people around Steemit ... but ... if your answer is yes - please follow me ...

I was active on Jamaa sporadically, for a couple of months, parallel with my first and hard days on Steemit, when I didn't have much hope to achieve anything here. I was struggling with English language and I never blogged before, so I had no idea how to structure my thoughts or everyday life events in some articulated and interesting narratives, or even squeeze out of my poor, tortured mind a few short sentences to accompany the visual art that I was always producing with ease without bothering to talk or explain anything with words ... especially not on a foreign language.
Here I could say just "Good morning" or "Good night" like on Facebook, hang a picture or two by the text, and upvotes were coming. But nonetheless, I tried even here to improve and make a decent post ... from time to time at least.

It was a fun time ... I liked the site, its colorful visual style, there were some people there and cool everyday images from various corners of Africa started to appear, because as was stated on the site - it was primarily oriented to Africa, as an attempt to improve the earnings, lifestyle and freedom of speech - here I'm loosely quoting what I remember reading back then. I was posting, voting, trying always to reward some cool personal content, sure about the bright future of this thing ... but slowly, with some posts on Steemit getting finally some above 1 dollar rewards, I put all my efforts into Steemit and forgot about Jamaa.

When I returned after many moons to see if there is maybe some value here that I can turn to Steem and speed up my race out of the Minnow status ... I found this desolate, Twilight zone atmosphere ... this was a few weeks ago.

And tonight ... I finally realized - Hey, there is a cool blogging material here ! A great opportunity to get out of the Nature - Art - Photography routine and write something Blockchain, Business and Technology oriented, for a change. Yap, that's how this post came to be.

It's middle of the night here where I live, midnight just passed by, 30 minutes ago ... quite an appropriate time for obscure excursions through obscure social networks ... but I think that I said all that I had in mind ... so now ...

... with this closing, photoshopped picture ... I'll end this little bed time story and go to sleep ... as always in these post on Steemit, the photographs are made by me, the hand and the lighter on those pictures are also mine... and so is the Borjan Radolovich Jamaa profile.
