Nice thoughts. It certainly is holding people down. Even the rare posts from friends are usually related to their opinions on the manipulative content they're seeing on Facebook. It's really being used to divide people to push political agendas. We need to get past that and come together to solve the real problems of today instead of fighting about the latest thing a politician said or did.
I'm assuming you're having some steemit issues today, like me, which is the reason for the double reply. It took me 8 tried to post this before it stuck.
Yeah, small issue....
I hope people will realize themselves and try to be productive with their times. Thanks for your post, at least its a start.
