I'm getting the feeling there is a new attitude of "we can do this" - and that ultimately Steemit is a space for creating things. We can create things.

Oh yes, I love reading that! :)
I believe it´s not just a feeling - it´s happening for real. Maybe that is what usually occurs after every depression. People stand up and feel the need to power, to spread energy, to build it up again.
Let´s keep that wave up and spread it!
Upvoted, resteemed and following - baaam! :))
