RE: From 320,000 Fans on Facebook to Real Community on Steemit > I've made my decision (after 39 glorious days on Steem)
I just watched several of your recent posts. I kinda dig this one though...feels intimate and personal. I love that you are killing it recently.... and i always find it interesting how something like this that feels personal gets lost in it...actually i get it... but its nice for me to send over the upvote love on this one cause i like the sharing of ideas this one had...
i went through a similar vibe with facebook. I really gave out so much energy and time to that platform for years. then i found steemit in september....and i feel blessed...because facebook just seems to click bate us and chew up our meta data...it somehow makes me feel icky going there now. I still do...as communicating directly with friends is easy, the mechanisms of notification are slick and habits are hard to break. but i give nearly no output personally through posts....and i love the switching of my passion and self to steemit. to something that gives me the feeling of giving and getting of real imput and help. that it is 'ours' is a powerful reality. i hope it always maintains that vibe no matter how big it gets.
on the subject you talked about with bringing friends over via steemit. I noticed something right after i started sending out messages telling people to come over to steemit. facebook seemed to lesson my reach. my own wife stopped seeing my posts. i wrote to a few friends and asked if they had noticed me in there feed lately. everyone could only find my most recent posts by searching directly. facefuck are smart at fucking faces.
anyway...seems you found a solid home here on steemit. glad to be connected. big love, the B
