I like your points. I would add that some of us, like me, are just ecstatic that there is another alternative to fascist book. I will keep learning about Steemit, not to make money first, but to really open eyes to truth, which FB does not allow. That is always my main goal, though here on Steemit, it seems the intelligence level and open-ness is much higher than FB, so my posts may be preaching to the choir. I also believe in supporting platforms that are about and for freedom. And, as a woman, I don't see enough of us supporting truth and freedom. There are more and more of us, but we need to reach more women -- especially the soccer moms out there (said by a recovering former soccer mom!) Good post. Reblogged. :)
