I feel the same about not calling them followers. A truly global community, Steemit is unlike any other social media platform. I wish it stays this way, but with the number of people joining Steemit, things are bound to change. What I wouldn't want to see is the type of segregation that Facebook has. Congratulations on your milestone! :)
Many thanks, it of course i want steemit to grow, but as you say I wouldnt like it to turn until a facebook or change to much :-(
