I absolutely agree. Discord is a game changer as the comment discussions on Steemit are limited, and hard to 'see' - it's kinda like talking to someone in another room, whereas in Discord, it's far more immediate and personal. It's where all the ideas are happening too. I've made solid friends on Steemit, but the friendship solidifies on Discord. Thankyou for tagging me in this, and it was really nice to meet you this morning.

The most pleasure I've got is from helping people on this platform, and It's part of the reason I started @naturalmedicine (we only launched last week) where we help to unite people interested in natural healing from meditation to yoga to herbalism to whatever. As you say, it's those social interactions that are far, far more beneficial than upvotes. Sadly, we kinda need the upvotes there to be listened to or seen as legit, but we're hoping that will change as we build community. xxx
