Most people use facebook because their friends use it, and the circle goes on.
And they are afraid they will lose a lot of friends if they change the platform

Yes, that's true for sure. I think many would also agree that it is a misuse of the term friend. A fb prompt once a year to write a superficial happy birthday does not make for much of a friendship.
I also think adding currency makes people more polite which has it's pros and cons, maybe less likely to share unpopular ideas.
If papa p did a really crappy painting, I wonder how many people would say, good try keep homesteading. The poetry crowd have started some more honest critiquing, but in general people are too scared to stick their head up above the crowd. The opposite can be said of facebook. I have been in illness support groups where people have been attacked.
People will always be people. On or off line we a yet to develop a utopia.
One of the worst things that happened thanks to Facebook (unfortunately they happened) is
a lot of girls took their semi-nude photos and posted online.
It should be called Playbook not, Facebook
As it appeared almost all girls became Playboy starts posting pics in underwear. Even the "good girls" did it.
I actually have broken relationships with girls (now ex-girlfriends) because of it.
But on steemit, things like that can't be seen...
I would not rate someone choosing to show their own skin as one of the worst things about facebook. Censoring that content is more of an issue, and still not the worst of facebook. I have a bigger issue with disgruntled ex boyfriends betraying women by sharing private pictures. As for good girls being rated by how much skin they show, I won't even go there.
As for things not seen on steemit... There is currently a show me your nipple contest underway, and just search nsfw to reveal lots of skin, that would not last one minute on facebook.
