Once again, well said. I can personally vouch that @teamaustralia has done a great job of taking me under their wing, and helping me to grow on Steemit in so many ways. Not to mention the excitement of learning about the life and culture of a country halfway around the world, from those who are actually living it!
Some of the other social media platforms have ironically de-humanized their interactions, and basically destroyed community. Sometimes it is a paradigm shift for new Steemians the begin to understand once again what community really means.
