RE: WHY WE NEED TO BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT STEEMIT IS!
Yeah I hadn't thought about it from that point of view. If you don't like Facebook why would you go and join a similar type of social network. It's just really unhelpful misrepresenting what steemit actually is.
Yes, though you have to admit Steemit is a bit hard to describe!
I don't really think it is. Right now Steemit is a blogging platform, strictly speaking I wouldn't even call it social media.
True it's a blogging platform, but it's also very interactive. WordPress is also a blogging platform, but I've never socialized with other bloggers on there or shared questions/posts/contests across WordPress. And then there's the whole cryptocurrency angle...
I wouldn't compare it with Wordpress although strictly speaking deep down wordpress is a Content Management System. But if you look at the likes of Medium or Redit the similiarties are clearer than that of Facebook.
Yes Reddit seems like a pretty clear parallel. I haven't checked out Medium before, but I will.
