Steemit is full of wonderful people and posts, but it has some dark corners you may want to stay away from. You don't want to get into fights with some people here, as I have found out. It's still small and fairly new. It's changing all the time and I hope to see it change the world.

I've been fortunate enough to have avoided those dark corners for the most part. When you've been on the Internet long enough you should have a finely-tuned system in place to avoid seeing things you know you don't want to see. Curiosity has gotten the better of me in the early days, and I've suffered for it... yeah... now, I can spot something when I see it and have the confidence to say "NOPE."
And it's true about fighting. Some accounts will destroy people if they get in a fight with them. It's kind of a dangerous place, but I feel ok about it because I don't think I actively go around looking for fights.
Lots of people coming from twitter thinking they'll be able to sling the same mud without consequence are going to get burned bad.
Can you imagine if someone like Trump joined up? It would be total warfare :)
Oh... I can't imagine.......
Steemit is like the Wild, Wild, West. If you want to stay out of trouble, stay out of the dark saloons. And if you go looking for a fight, better strap on them six-shooters, because you will find one.
i agree with you. but not so on small part rather on that when you're a small fish you don't want to get into a fight or on the bad side of someone bigger, experienced with more power. but that's also in real life, so ...
At least you can't get physically hurt here. Take care
