RE: Addressing Steemit's Social Confusion
Totally get your point, and I was generalising when I said Facebook type posts. What I meant was, in general the type of post that gets lots of likes on FB. In particular political posts, and personal rants, don't gain traction here, simply because you're not in a homogenised silo of "friends" the facebook algo has chosen for you.
I do think there should be a fun side to it, and I like @nanzo-scoop's suggestion that a Steem social whereby people where rewarded for a more fun type of engagement.
All in all, I'm glad to hear you've been doing well and enjoying yourself at the same time, and I'm glad I've started this discussion. You and plenty of others have very valuable views on this; and I hope the "powers that be", get wind of these comments.
I think all in all, there is a lot of positivity, I just feel we are at a good point to stop, and look at where we've come from and where we're going.

Some of those rants. People are good at them. We often forget how our communication methods evolve. A huge wall of rambling text does not appeal to purists, but there is an audience for it. It might not be for everyone, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be accepted.
I'd hate to see selfie addicts take over, along with that sort of audience. I totally get what you mean, on many levels.
I really must get going though and I thank you for taking the time to do what you do here.
