Your right- I am only now posting on Steemit again. I try to do my part and read (not just upvote) posts and leave comments if I have something to add or just want to thank the creator.
by the way I love your analogy -- " Now it feels cold, like coming back to a hotel room after work instead of your home with your family/pets"-- that sums it up perfectly.
It just makes it hard when you end up talking to yourself for the most part lol.
Thank you, it just seems less welcoming and more clinical now ;/
