Hi @showkat! Welcome to the wild world of Steemit! :D
I found my way to your post as you and I have been featured on @ma1neevent's recent welcome post. I thought it was super cool that he took the time to do that post.
I loved your 3 points about what your looking for in social media that's lacking in the conventional platforms. That's exactly how I have been feeling as well... To add to that I have recently felt that on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter everyone is talking and no one is listening... I think this might be due to the context more than the content... By this I mean it's due to how Facebook and Twitter are constructed fundamentally and how they go about curating your content and information.
Anyways... I have been slowly ditching my Facebook and Twitter activities in favor of Steemit so you are in good company! :D
Followed you and upvoted your post. Looking forward to more from you!
Cheers! :)
