RE: Let's show Tina how good Steemit really is.....
Thank you for your response gwb235! I have been hugging and tickling (my children). I hope you've been keeping that smile on your face!
I believe that platforms like Facebook started off with the best of intentions, like many ideas that have gone south. There are some who have found joy and peace of mind and success using Facebook. And there are others who have felt aggressively attacked, harassed, or disheartened as well. There isn't anything that is perfect. We're all human and wherever large groups of us gather, some of our flaws will follow. The oversights that are put in place by the Steemit community help to mitigate a large portion of the unsavory behaviors that some bring in.
Hi brisby. I won't enquire about the children, but I assume that they're happy, having being hugged and tickled. Hugging and tickling children is almost as sensible as hugging trees and tickling mushrooms :).
Yes, I'm still smiling and I hope you're all well and good. I agree with regards to platforms starting out with good intentions, but Fcebook has developed it's design to a state where it appears to discourage creativity. The secrecy and privacy are not healthy, in my opinion. That said, you are right when you say that some folk have found success by using, or through, Facebook and of the general trend of various behaviours and their influences upon such platforms, which might lead them from their initial goal or ideal.
I think it's going to be very interesting on Steemit for the forseeable months and I'm hoping that more and more people come over from Facebook and grow with it. Only time will tell, but we can have our theories in the meantime :)
Thanks for the comment. Take care.
