My sentiments exactly! I have felt like a dark cloud has passed and the sun is now shinning again once disengaging with FB and transferring my time and energy over here to Steemit. This platform seems to breed a more optimistic and engaged populace (yes there is the spam and purely money motivated individuals - but you cant escape from that anywhere online). It certainly is refreshing and gives hope! Thank you for your thoughts.

There is definitely a more positive feeling here. It is almost like facebook is only there to get people to argue: it seems it is a majority of the engagements on there!
It has certainly morphed to that. I think it is because people feel emboldened to just "yell" their opinions since they are sitting safely behind their screens rather than to engage in meaningful discussion. The current state of the "opinion news" that we are all bombarded with has likely fueled this type of interaction. Over here, one needs to actually create quality and meaningful content, which weeds out those who just want to yell one liners. Is a breath of fresh air!
Its engagement over quality. Posts are made with the intention of pissing people off to drive engagement. That feeds into itself so FB can promote to advertisers how much engagement and time people spend on there. If you post and dont argue with people commenting you dont continually engage.
