One year since my first post on SN \ stacker news ~ideasfromtheedge

January 2, 2024 was the date of my first post on SN. Of course it was in the territory of ~photography Crossing in Lima, Peru: First sunset of the year 2024 🌅 Happy New Year! I'm not an expert or a professional at taking photos, but it's really an activity I like to do. I'm not very good at talking about my thoughts and feelings either, but I do like to write them down and I get into it when I let myself go. My husband told me: I know you like to write and take photos, I know a place where you can post about that. I think since November 2023 he had been talking to me about a platform called "Staker news". He always talked to me about it, but I never took action on it, until January 2, 2024. I was bored at home, the day before I had taken some nice photos of the sunset, it seemed like the right time to open an account on SN. My husband helped me open the account and explained to me how SN was used. At first I didn't really understand the methodology, but I was really interested in being here. At first I just wanted to post photos, but I don't have a huge gallery of "pretty or interesting" photos, and I didn't want to pigeonhole myself into just photos either.

One of those nostalgic days when I wanted to write in my notebook, I thought "I'd better do it on SN" and that's when I published: immigrant catharsis I was surprised by the receptivity I received. I really enjoyed reading your comments and I felt happy. It was something I didn't expect. The next day I thought, "I should talk about my experience living in communism." Wow, I was even more surprised to see that amount of comments. Shit, I never imagined that someone would read the things I write, much less give me sats for them. This was surreal to me. Had I been living under a rock? That was all I could think.

I was used to social networks devoid of important and interesting content, used to only seeing photos and videos of a "perfect" life. I was used to reading discussions on X where everyone believes they possess the absolute truth. I was used to social media, where almost no one is nice.

From the first week on SN I was enchanted, everyone was kind, supportive, empathetic, intelligent, funny. At first I didn't see users fighting to be right, maybe it was because I didn't spend enough time here haha or I don't know. The point is, I decided to completely close those social networks that distracted me from consuming valuable content.

In order not to lose the habit, I'm going to publish this photo of the first sunset of 2025
