Don't let those people live inside your head rent free. Steemit is an uncensored platform (which is like the opposite of twitter, facebook, ect.) and because of that, normies fear it because it allows people to be racist, ect. The media will also hate it because of that very same reason, it allows free speech and allows some not so nice opinions to be shared. But you know what? Fuck them. Fuck them all. Free speech is something the internet is currently lacking in and something that must be protected at all costs, even if it means having to deal with some hateful comments. Let them be hateful. At least on steemit you can block the content you don't wanna see, so it's not like everyone on steemit is hateful because they use steemit. Also, steemit runs through a blockchain and people can get money from using it. That is an amazing feature and something literally every other platform lacks, so. Fuck the competition and may steemit live on!
