Agree one hundred percent, meno! Steemit is like the real world, Twitter is the fake world.

For example, here is the story of two American friends, one conservative, one liberal:-

J owns 20 guns, is white, is inheriting a lot of land and money, and tells me I live in a fascist country cos we restrict guns to people with hunting licenses. He is also a guy with a geeky winning smile, who will do anything for anybody.

M is Latino, born in the US of immigrant parents, never had any money, went to Stanford on a scholarship, and jokes to me that "when the revolution comes, I'll kill you last." Basically, being English, and a friend of his, entitles me to longer survival than other white people, when "white privilege" is finally overthrown. He's a hyper and hilarious dude, speaks as fast as Robin Williams, makes everybody he ever talks to laugh their asses off.

J and M agree on zero politically, but they get on just fine, and I could be with both those guys in a friendly situation, no problem.

Why doesn't J tell M he enjoys the taste of liberal tears? Why doesn't M tell J he's a brainwashed asshole, living in a privilege bubble, with no clue how the real world works?

Answer: They have A STAKE in not pissing each other off, because they have to get along, because they may see each other for years and years to come. Besides which, politics is by and large bullcrap that doesn't affect one iota of real day to day lives, it's just stuff people shoot the breeze about. And in fact, people tend to have a lot more in common than not, for example, J and M both being massive movie geeks, fans of the same movies, so plenty to talk about.

Steemit is like the real world because the actual STAKE, in the platform, is a perfect emulation of the real life stake people have in real relationships. It forces people to behave normally. It is an anchor that promotes normal civilized behavior and decency.

What you get on twitter is some kind of phony civil war, based on nothing but ignorance, incivility and unwarranted bravado. It's worthless bullcrap.

This story is set in the past because M passed away, suffering a sudden cerebral aneurysm. J was so broken up about it you would never believe that he and M were from such different tribes. :'(
