On Facebook short comments are appreciated
Short comments are appreciated on the Hive blockchain too. As long as they are meaningful.
the people that mostly view your posts are the people you know and are friend or family with.
This is not true at all. Most of them are strangers in the Facebook groups. There are many foreigners too.
The question is how many of those friends are here on hive?
I do not have much friends in real life, nor on Facebook.
You need to build a circle, create engaging contents and join a supportive community to boost your self esteem
Am I? Not in Facebook groups. I post something, and people comment/reply/answer. Because people are there for the content. You do not need to build "a circle" on a properly working social network. The circle is already there in the form of a real community. The Hive blockchain is very different.
