Well, Steemit is still in beta. It's one of the platforms that display all interactions of the STEEM Blockchain. The thing about Steemit is that it has a way to display posts like Reddit. You could try Busy.org. You just have to sign in the same way as you would sign in to Steemit.
Busy has a better UI than Steemit in my opinion.
I invite you to learn about support groups, curation trails, delegating SP services, etc. That could actually help you understand better the platform.
You're invited to post using the #informationwar tag when addressing controversial issues. We certainly love to have more contributors!
Welcome to Steemit. We expect to really make a difference in the world.
