Hello and welcome! :)
Couldn't agree more with the feeling of wanting to quit FB for good. I think I would have done it a while back if not for few of the people I only get to contact on that platform. But it has become tediously boring!
Steemit, however, if you dig meticulously, gives you the chance to find these amazing people from all around the world.
Hope you find the ones you're looking for! :) ^^

Good luck on your adventure here!
