Greetings, @tarazkp. Stop playing with your pineal gland. Unless you found a providor of NZT-48, you should not be overloding your brain with info.
I shut down once in while, and it does feel weird. It takes some time to catch up with a working rythm.
Regarding your post, I think that it is a good thing that many people are starting to migrate to decentralized platforms due to cersorship in mainstream media. Hopefully, if those coming are high profile/popular they will bring their followers with them and re-envigorate Steemit.
I know many people here avoid politics at all cost, but they want a better world and they want changes. It's a paradox that may be turned around if we have more constructive political conversations circulating at a higher volume.
The problem with politics is that it is adversarial, not necessarily constructive. Rather than find what is the best thing to do it is about choosing between a selection of far from perfect solutions, often on an emotional scale rather than an analytical one.
You are right. Yet, if we get here people who are running away, from intolerance, they may want to promote a tolerant environment. I want to think that if we are going along with the idealistic concept of decentralized economy and circulation of ideas, we may have some room for the possibility of a different way of doing politics. Maybe the very economic incentive derived from people's effectiveness connecting to the highest possible number of users may help.
