Very good post @vladivostok! Very very true. The interaction and social networking is unparalleled here on steemit, but especially discord. Steemit and the steem block chain dapps provide the opportunity for self expression, education, and international interaction. Like we discussed the other day, discord feels as if it's the glue that more intimately bonds people into forming legit friendships and partnerships. I believe that's mostly because it's real time interaction with text, voice chat, and @clayboyn's mad meme game. Without steemit, I wouldn't know discord. Without discord, I wouldn't have found such a great variety of content creators. Yes i found many when i joined, but not so many and definitely not as easily.

I really admire the people on steemit who post great content regularly, daily even. It's not easy to maintain. Even more admiration for curators who tirelessly scour steemit for those content creators to spread awareness of them and encourage them when they feel like they're efforts are too much for too little. But that feeling I hear more often then not is because of a lack of interaction. People who would rather the thoughtful comments but aren't getting seen. But, I'm rambling.

This is a very thoughtful post that I hope people who haven't thought of this before take to heart. There are certainly some things on steemit which are not perfect. By and large, though, it's much like the real world. The Cali saying "it's who you know, not what you know" is true because when people connect, that can be so profound it changes people's lives. Social media has been lacking the environment that steem block chain has created, I'mo. Oh yeah. 1:11
