Steemit is an amazing possibility to meet interesting talented people and even meet new friends!
I've met already a lot of people that i love to talk about different things and i have even intention to meet them one day in person!
I remember this day when my bf told me about Steemit. I thought: I don't need one more Facebook.
But in real i found out that Steemit is more interesting than Fb and what is a very big plus - no one bother me here. This is evidence of what kind of people have come here: smart, kind, sincere and openminded.
Yes, there is definitely a different caliber of people on Steemit to Facebook. There is a lot more ambition, a strength of character, personalities show through more and no backstabbing and the tit for tat, like on Facebook (well not to the same extent anyway).
