RE: Let's Talk—Why Is Facebook Treating Steemit URLs as Spam? (UPDATE: It's Deleting My Post In 30 Days Now!)
But steemit can't replace facebook. I don't understand why that comparison always comes up. They're completely different things. Facebook is, well, facebook. Social media. It's all about profiles, communicating, (re)connecting, networking, and self marketing/ego boosts, etc.. Steemit is more of a blogging platform. It doesn't even have direct messages (as far as I can tell). I'd say it's a competitor to medium for example, or maaaybe reddit, not facebook.
I don't use facebook by the way. It has no appeal to me. I'm not defending it or calling it better than steem. Just saying they're different things and not in competition with each other.
I agree. I use both steemit and Facebook, but I would never use steemit the way I use Facebook. Facebook is more spontaneous and low level, while I want to post more valuable content on steemit.
