So far I've been unimpressed. I don't like echo chambers, group think, cults, or bullies. That's all I've experienced so far.
Obviously it's working for you guys or you wouldn't be here. Hopefully my experiences on Steem will get better over time.

I hear you but what you mention is a part of every country, city and community, both in real life and online. There is no avoiding it so it is better to not let yourself get bummed out by it and to simply rise above it.
