I can't be the only one that has noticed how different the general feeling of each social media platform is. In the past week I have been spending a large majority of my online time split between Steemit and Poloniex, maybe 10% on facebook with those two sites taking up a majority of the rest of my time. 

I go on Facebook to catch up on what is going on with my IRL friends. I eventually grew tired of the inconsequential posting and garbage that was filling my timeline. I found myself unfollowing people rapidly - I would guess I actually follow less than 500 of my over 1000 friends on there (how sad is that?)

So I created a "sok" account to stay connected with my like-minded friends. I never wanted to create an echo chamber as I feel only hearing what you agree with is a dangerous things but there hits a point where I just cannot take the statism any longer and I am TIRED of fighting it. I'm not giving up in arguing for Anarchism and voluntary interaction but for my own sanity I have to choose my battles and lately I have sided on the side of rolling my eyes and scrolling past.

**Facebook pisses me off: Steemit gives me hope.**  

The trolling definitely is less here on steemit although that is partially replaced with spamming. "Bro! Upvote my GARBAGE and I will upvote YOUR GARBAGE." I get it, this is completely a money-making opportunity for some people and I have started to make a point of replying to the spamming and flagging it. 

But on Steemit people have a general feeling of hope and creation. Building something and showing it off. Showing like-minded friends that YOU are doing to be part of the solution.

Facebook is anything but. 

That is why facebook is largely irrelevant to me, and I can't imagine I am alone.
