I used to be on Facebook, got onto it when my then-girlfriend-now-wife found it and was using it to organize her photos with. Over the years, I did a lot on Facebook and considered it part of my day-to-day life. But the last couple of years, I've been slowly detaching myself from it and becoming increasingly disenfranchised with the service.
I tried other social media systems -- Google+ (which was a joke at best), Twitter (never could get into it), even looked a little at Instagram & Snapfish (both were dull to me). Just couldn't find one that I liked, and I was still losing interest in Facebook. I finally decided to get completely off FB -- not with a bang, just quietly walked away. I removed it from my bookmarks and uninstalled it from my phone. And... I have really no desire to return. My wife and I communicate through other means now anyway (like Signal).
I found out about Steemit and Steem about two or three months ago and got into this. I mostly am just reading and lurking, but will slowly increase what I am doing hopefully soon. I like the idea of how Steem works, and am fascinated by it overall. I've been more intrigued by decentralized types of services for a while.
