My favorite thing about steemit (and I don't know if it's all in my head) is that it seems like there's a lot less negativity on the site. Even when a blog is about a negative event or something, there just seems to be a lighter atmosphere. Maybe it's just the relative lack of negative comments.
EDIT: Even cheers me up when I'm in a bad mood. (that website better give me my money back UUGG).
There is drama here and there just like any other social media site. But I do think there is a bit more positivity because this platform is new and a lot of us have a common goal that we want to see Steem succeed.
Yes, while the ability to find/organise posts/communities is a negative, it's perhaps also a positive in that the drama is tougher to find also!
