Something which I detest about the non-Steemit social media platforms is that their "message alert" feature is designed to make the user feel obligated to reply right away—even when the post or comment or e-mail is not about a superficial matter and should require at least one good night’s sleep in order for the person to properly process and reflect upon what was said—that their reply may also be thoughtful and not only passionate.

After more than a decade of having used those non-Steemit platforms, many Steemit users hath unfortunately internalized that manipulative and anti-social "message alert" feature, despite the fact that it is thankfully nowhere to be found at Steemit.

Those of us who value quality over quantity hope for Steemit to stay that way, and thus for its users to help each other to realize the wisdom of the great English poet William Blake who wrote that “Eternity is in love with the productions of time.”
