I have years and years of background on IRC (and still do), so it's natural for me to mingle and interact with people in a live manner, on chats like Discord and Steemit.Chat. It's much easier to make friends there because it's faster to interact, than to wait minutes or hours for comments and replies on Steem. Although sometimes I find them a bit too cloggy, IRC is simpler because it's plaintext, no fussy avatars and whatnot. Perhaps it's one of the reasons I never was interested in any of the current social media like FB. IRC is the grand daddy of any chats in existence, it's old school and still alive.

Although I have accounts at other social media, I never ever posted anything. Only when discovering Steemit, I started to share information. For some reason I like it, but like you, I like the simple chat channels more, since those allows much more interaction than this blogging think. The good thing of blogging channels is that posts and comments are more structured and will be easier to search back when needed than chat channels, anything in the history of a chat, generally is lost for later use.
