@jaynie, you hit the nail on the head when mentioned how other forms of social media are full of "...ridiculous amounts of ugliness, sarcasm, bitterness, bickering, racism, anger, violence, crime, as well as an endless array of negativity...". I have been so (pleasantly) surprised to find almost none of that on Steemit. It's so refreshing after so many years of vitriolic comments.

I really love feeling like you're taking part in "building" Steemit by participating. On something like Twitter, it feels like I am just trying to be heard above the clamour. On Steemit, you can find a little community and feel like your input is valuable.

Here's to the power of a positive platform!
