RE: Annoyed by all the Actifit posts...

in #actifit6 years ago

You should reconsider using Actifit. It’s entirely up to you how you want to use it. My approach has always been for it to be part of my posting. It’s a way to remind me that every time I spend time on social media, I also balance it out with exercise. Else, I’d be a whale and not the rich kind.

I don’t like a lot of the reports myself and I don’t enjoy some of the behaviours, but that applies to all of the block chain. I have a specific interest in the kind of fitness-conscious individuals I’m seeking and the type of posts. I’m just looking for encouragement, which is why the app attracted me. Actifit is still young and I’m hoping with time, a more diverse range of people will participate.

I really see the report as a link address, and an appendix to my posts. It keeps me connected to the platform. Why would anyone look negatively upon an app that encourages us to look after ourselves. We’ve enough self-appointed experts pontificating on how we should live our lives, Self-promotion, posting cutesy pictures or videos no one actually watches. Why would a fitness report that actually did some real positive affect to a person’s life be offensive and less interesting? It’s been well establish most don’t read posts anyway.

Reporting on fitness is never a bad thing. But I would prefer people treat it as a proper post and try to be a little engaging. I don’t think we should hide our reports in another account as if it’s something to be ashamed of. It’s part of who we are. And if it’s too boring for you, it just wasn’t meant to be. 😛

Thanks a lot for your long and honest comment. I totally agree with you that exercise is great, and we should absolutely not be ashamed of sharing such fantastic stuff, and by doing so, encouraging others to exercise. I love running and walking myself, so that is not the problem!

The only minus I see, is that if someone posts 8 posts a week, and seven of those are Actifit posts where they do not even add their own pictures, it will turn very boring to the people actually following that person, which in the end will lead to a hard time for that person to get votes and comments, as people will stop following that person... So, it would be great if sharing those Actifit reports could be made in a more intriguing and interesting way, which would make it interesting to read for others, and as a result, inspire even more people to move their body :)
