STEEM SOUTH AFRICA - CALL TO ACTION! - MEMBER SCOUTING & DELEGATION APPEAL

Copy of STEEM SOUTH AFRICA 1.png

Some days are just that fast forward kind of productive and others are a lot more passive productive. Today was unquestionably the latter haha! My little man was off ill, so I knew from the get go that I was not going to be able to focus on anything which required heavy concentration, but that does not mean I did not spend the productively. In fact, I am actually glad the day unfolded the way it did because it was the perfect opportunity to get stuck into my latest venture, which for those of you that missed the announcement post - is the launch of @steemsouthafrica!

The very first thing I did after discovering that I had been selected to head the South African facet of @pennsif's Steem Outreach Initiative was to give @steemsouthafrica a social media presence - that being a brand identity, Steem account, a discord server and Twitter account. With those all done, the next step was to start getting in touch with other active South African Steemians. This went off pretty seamlessly too and several of those individuals have now hopped on to our new server.

STEEM SOUTH AFRICA SCOUTING:

The task I took on today however, was a little more tedious lol and is essentially a rather long shot because a good percentage of these people have not posted here in anything from 2 months to 2 years. I sat down this morning and started scouring Steem for old posts from people that have made use of the tag "southafrica" in the last 2 years - yeah it was definitely not as fun as creating the branding and server lol, but I do think it was something that needed to be done - even if it is only mildly successful. I also want to say a quick thank you to @joanstewart for supplying me with an old list of SA Steemians from 2017 which has been added to what I gathered today.

At this stage there really is only a HANDFUL of truly active South African Steemians, so before I even LOOK at organising meetups and attempting to on-board, I want to make sure that I have combed the beach thoroughly in terms of who is already still here and possibly lurking in the shadows.

SOUTH AFRICANS PLEASE GET INVOLVED:

Ok, enough waffle! The intention of this post is to A) tag (and hopefully connect with) those people but over and above that to ask for your assistance. If you are South African and reading this - YOU CAN HELP! Please take a look at the list of tagged individuals and if you have ANY way of contacting certain individuals outside of the Steem realm (ie. direct contact, twitter, instagram, fb etc.), then PLEASE DO! We are going to have to work together on this one. I will place the tag list at the end of this post - but we are sitting at 236 South Africans on that list, sadly most of which have left... so it would be fantastic to reignite their passion for this place and bring them into a NEW space which is geared and enthusiastic to make a success of their Steem future.

LET'S CONNECT:

If you are able to connect with any other South Africans here on Steem, or are a SA member reading this yourself then PLEASE take this course of action:

Step 1: Request to be added to our Discord server in the comments section of this post, or DM me (jaynie#0038) on Discord. If you are not familiar with discord, you can get it HERE

Step 2: Follow us at @steemsouthafrica so you can be kept in the loop with all our progress as a community, as well as enjoy the resteems of fellow South Africans content.

Step 3: Start making use of our tag #steemsa so that we can find you and support your content.

Step 4: Join us on Twitter too - https://twitter.com/SteemSa

APPEAL FOR DELEGATION:

As with any new account on Steem, a little support is needed as we start our engines, so that we can begin to actively engage with, support and most importantly ENCOURAGE our fellow South Africans to become and remain actively involved here. If you know of anybody who would be able to assist our new venture with the generosity of a delegation - then please either direct them to me directly on discord (jaynie#0038) or to this post with the delegation links below. Any and all support is welcomed.

50SP

This really is SUCH an exciting new Steem phase for the people of South Africa and I truly hope that all of you will get as actively involved as you can to rally up the troops! Once we have that waxed, we can start looking at active promotions across the country and even more exciting... the meetups! Exciting times ahead, #steemsa!

I think that is pretty much a wrap for now - please don't forget to take a look through the horribly long list below to see if you can connect with anyone and bring them back to our network. Some of you on the list have already connected with us directly, but you can still potentially assist with locating others and hence you have been tagged. I trust that your enthusiasm for this new South African chapter on Steem with outweigh the potential annoyance of being tagged.

Catch you tomorrow peeps

❤ Love you all LONG TIME! ❤

@jaynie Great news. Have been around for a while and am glad to see SA featuring on @steemit will do what I can to assist.

If there is anything specific you need that I can help with let me know. I have over the years on boarded a few people and constantly try to encourage active engagement.

For the most part everyone complains about how difficult it is to sign up. I have created a few account for potential steemians but it remains a task for the average user to setup.

Things have become a tad easier lately though. Anyways thanks for running with this initiative and look forward to future interaction and growth. There was another hashtag a year ago #teamsouthafrica not sure what happened to that one.

Will resteems and start using #steemsa in all my future posts and look into delegation. Have a great week. 😊🇿🇦😊

Ps. Thanks for the comprehensive SA list of steemians. Now I can go and follow them all. 😬 saved me a ton of time.

Thanks for the positive feedback @michaeljn. As per my post, I don't think many of those people are active anymore, so the idea is to reconnect with them somehow. You could most certainly assist by seeing if you are able to connect with any of those people, "outside" of Steem and direct them to the new channels mentioned in this post.

Thanks again for the support on this new @steemsa venture!

No problem. Will start spreading the word where I can.

Did do a tiny delegation, will increase that soon. Just busy with some other goodies. Once done will give a bit more.

I thought following this list would be a good idea, but it's a bunch of dead accounts. Few of them are active though. Just did a random spot check after the first couple were dormant. Rip I guess lol

The idea is to try and get in touch with people and get them motivated again. I also checked and the first few are around 1-2 years last posted but as you go further down there are still quite a large number still active. I think we all have to play a part in reigniting SA with a bit of our own active marketing on other blog or social platforms we are currently on. I am going to give it a go. We need to make SA an active part of this community.😊🇿🇦

As mentioned in my post, most of these accounts have been inactive for quite some time - so it is a long shot at "calling them out", but as also mentioned in my post, it was an appeal to all other SA members to check the list - maybe you know some of these people outside of the blockchain and can connect with them directly, informing and encouraging them to come and join us in our new place and space :)

Thrilled to hear that @mimismartypants and I hope we see you on our new server... To answer your enquiry... the last time I spontaneously and positively engaged with @penderis on a comment thread (a post by @chekohler published less than a month ago) he unfollowed and muted me within seconds for absolutely no reason... (unless of course he is holding on to some age old grudge which I cannot even recall) and I don't have time for such volatility and aggressiveness. So, much like the other community I head, I will not entertain such - hence he was not invited. As the head of this new community too, it does not seem very sensible to on-board what is very clearly distaste from the get go. If, however he has a change of heart, and is open to some form of level ground communication between the two of us, thus paving a positive way forward... then he is welcome to join.

(Although, he will never see this short of you tapping him on the shoulder... because he muted me)

Timeline is wrong but the gist of it is accurate. Just to confirm I would not join purely because I am a hateful person that does not like too much positivity and happy clappy things which things like meetup and group and oh look Sannie is from my country [ insert trash about country being awesome] or promote [ insert sales pitch]. Please leave an evil gif on mimis comment for bringing my name up ;) Seriously though, best of luck with your application thingy. !tip 1

Each to their own - and thanks for the well wishes on my thingy. I will be sure to make a success of it for you and other more positively inclined South Africans too. :)

Well this is rather awkward. Pen's pretty harmless and actually one of the most helpful and welcoming Steemians I've encountered. I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation.

With regards to discord I'm not as active on it at all. If I logged on once a month that's alot. This is purely due to Time constraints and prioritising what's important in my life right now. But will come say hi when I can...

I am not really on Discord that much, I spend a fair amount of time on Telegram though. Also heard some rumors about discord using personal information etc. not sure how true that is, is there much difference between discord and Telegram? Will however try to make an effort to come on discord a bit more often to check in.

I also caught wind of that one the Steem telegram group... but at this stage, I am in so deep on discord with my communities, I don't really have a choice anymore lol - besides... we can't live our lives in fear of what "they said" - that's my excuse and I am sticking to it lol!

They are chalk and cheese (Telegram and Discord) - I cannot run a community from Telegram. It is merely a chat app.

Yeah, please do! Would be great to see you there! :)
