Here is my top 10 list of the things that I like about Steemit and Steemians after 2 weeks:
Learning new things: I have learned something new every day and from many different people, curating has led to a sense of discovery in finding new gems everyday.
Level of respect and sincerity: many Steemians provide insightful, constructive, feedback in a thoughtful manner; this is quite refreshing from trolling which I have experienced in other sites.
Sharing common interests: I have found Steemians with similar interests and I have learned from them, deepening my understanding.
Positiveness: I have read articles and stories which have been positive, I find that most forms of media can be only dark and gloomy, and I have been touched by the beauty and kindness of other's writings.
Genuiness: The personal experience and genuineness of some of the articles that I have read, some Steemians have been vulnerable in expressing personal details of their lives and I feel more connected to such posts.
Healthy debates and challenges: Some of the point and counter point exchanges have been very insightful...and sometimes entertaining.
Beauty: I have viewed so many stunning pictures, I particularly love the landscape and animal pictures.
Bringing people together: The International feel of many posts and sharing of perspectives from all over the world has been educational, I want to visit these places.
Helpful tips: Steemians have been very helpful in how to use the platform.
Fun rivalries: The development of international teams and the fun of good hearted banter.
