For anyone who doesn't buy the soylent green kool-aid that FB have been caught out promoting and suppressing opposition against, FB has been an internet ghetto now for at least a year. We may not make up the larger proportion of those who made FB the thing it is now, but it is leaking users like us very fast now, and with a credible platform to jump onto, I anticipate that this is going to accelerate. The rate of development of secondary services that hook into Steemit are growing at a very rapid rate. Systems like Maidsafe and other distributed file hosting systems will start to be integrated more, meaning media content as well as text will start to become censorship resistant. People are setting up businesses that build upon what Steemit offers as well.
