My move away from FACEBOOK....
sooo this is going to be more of an interesting feedback kind of post then informative...ok it's going to be a little informative from my perspective ;)
I use to be an absolute Facebook fanatic. I couldn't wake up nor go to bed without checking up on Facebook which sounds really sad, yes, but what also got to me was the fact that the published content was so repetitive that I literally saw the same post doing it's rounds a million times and the amount of "likes" on that post was probably the same person "liking" the same post several times...hmmm yeahh that's unique...annyways...the other issue I had with Facebook was the community, so you use to get your nice groups and always use to follow those group for the posts religiously...but you always get these "keyboard warriors" that go out of their way to prove someone else wrong and to start a fight, they just can't live and let live.
I haven't been on Facebook since I joined Steemit and I am loving every minute of it, I am contemplating "killing" my Facebook Account, but then my friends & family would lose touch with me, so I guess I have to introduce them to steemit ;)
Please let me know what your feelings are around the social media aspect of Facebook/Twitter vs Steemit...I sincerely apologize for the badly written post, I am completely drained and felt I had to squeeze a last post in for the day :)
Here is happeing the same! Since I am on steemit, my other accounts just lay abandoned in the net and I am thinking about deleting them. I wrote 2 days ago about it:
Steemit makes me think about deleting all my other social media profiles
I can't stand facebook anymore. People rubbing their lavish lifestyle in others faces while hating on certain groups. The mindless videos play automatically now and only once in a while do I get to see some family photos which was what I most liked about facebook in the first place.
haha how cool is that, will definitely read your post and others as well. Thanks for responding :)
Best decision in your life
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated :)
I asked multiple time to steem developer to make something like twitter and facebook, hope they will listen soon.
well that's the thing, they probably won't since they want to have a unique platform that differentiates them from the other platforms...who knows...
agree with your statement, but still give a bit touch of FB n Twitter. that will be good for user and i am sure will gather more users.
Facebook is absolute garbage. The amount of time I use it per day is like 5 mins. I do use messanger quite a lot though but not facebook itself. Facebook is a big waste of time and I hope many will realise this sooner or later. If not for messanger, I would've deleted facebook some time ago.
I completely agree with your entire response :) thanks for your feedback!
Love it!

That is awesome thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for liking it!
Love your post! Even contemplating deleting your Facebook account - that's hardcore!!! ;). Steem on! upvoted & resteemed :)
hahaha hmmm hardcore...well I wouldn't...no wait you are right, deleting my many many many facebook friends would be a hardcore statement lol...
great post. I'm moving over from FB to steemit. Not really moving away but focusing on putting up quality content on steemit. I'm maxed on FB and use for family & friends mostly.
absolutely...especially the older generation that just got use to Facebook..imagine explaining to your grand parents what steemit is about lol...
You are right. I have completed a month today with Steemit and am absolutely loving every moment I am spending here. ...And I am spending a lot of time here. More than what I used to spend on facebook :) It is surprising how easy it was to make the switch.
Absolutely and I don't regret it at all, the community here is awesome!!! Make me want to come back and respond to posts and post new things, such a let's all get together and have a glass of wine or beer kind of vibe ;)
Nice post man, upvoted and followed :) you from South Africa?
Thanks for the reply, I am from Durban North, South Africa to be exact ;), and yourself?
Also from SA! Port Elizabeth :D Nice to see some other South Africans :)
Absolutely its so awesome!!! I am envious of certain peoples posts making thousands lol...who knows maybe one day ;).. what do you do for a living
Maybe one day indeed. I trade crypto full time and study
Please tell me more, what do you mean by trading in crypto and is it a lucrative venture to be part of?
Buying and selling cryptocurrency, it is quite lucrative but requires a lot of time and practice, and is also very risky. Similar to trading forex or stocks
ahhhh ok makes sense, I was thinking of getting some mining rigs to start somewhere and then start dealing in the market, I traded with Forex a while back and did quite well, I had a 300% increase in revenue over the first 3 months, after that I stopped since I didn't want to risk too much...damn I was stupid, I should've continued.
