RE: Can a Few Bad Seeds and Some Drama Spoil a Good Thing?
Things got particularly nasty after the hard fork, and I actually stepped away for about a week during the height of the self-voting squabble. There are a lot of things that I really like about Steemit, and I'm here for the long haul, but when my feed is full of drama and flag wars, sometimes it seems best to just avoid the toxicity.
Yeah, I hear you. I intentionally avoid things (like the news) that can quickly become too overwhelming for me. News usually comes to me via fb (which I'm not on that much anymore) or through friends and family members who ask, "Did you hear about _____?!" I have a few trusted people whose opinion I really respect, so I'll occasionally ask them what's new in the news. So yeah, I get intentionally checking out....But, when it's time to vote I check back in, get informed, and go get it done. :)
