Wow!! What a difference from Facebook

in #steemit-community8 years ago (edited)

When I first heard of this site I had reservations that it would just be another Facebook where people with nothing better to do with their lives would be on here posting pictures of their cats or funny cartoons or whining about their lives while they virtue seek. Boy was I surprised when I started looking at the posts on here.

Most of the posts are very intellectual and intellegent and not just worthless, time wasting drivel. I was even impressed with the guy who wrote an article on the perfect door stop. It was very thoughtful and well written, I didn't think that someone could actually make a piece of wedged material interesting but he did. It was obvious that this guy really thought it out and researched it.

I believe that this site won't be competing with Facebook or any of the other social media sites because it seems to be attracting a different breed of people. I believe that the type of people that this site will attract are people who are very intellegent and have something of value to write about. I also believe that the Facebook crowd will remain on Facebook wasting their lives posting pictures, telling criminals where they live and how long they will be away on vacation, and pretending to be intellegent while never even realizing that they are losing their audience.

I also believe that just the nature of this site will attract people who have something worthwhile to say and are interested in being heard without fear of being censored or shut down because they are disagreeing with the mainstream narrative or hurting some tender snow flakes feelings.

I am having a tough time prying myself away from this site so I can direct my attention to other matters that I need to deal with like going to bed, where when I went on Face book I could only tolerate about ten minutes of reading the trash on there without feeling disgusted. I am proud to be part of a group of people like this and I hope that I can contribute to the value of this site. Cudos to all of you. Bare with me, I'm still trying to figure out how to upload pictures.
