Wow, I finally decided to log back in after a year, pleasantly surprised (*piqued, if you will) that Steemit is still "alive"?

Is it really true? I really believed Steemit would head off the online blockchain blogger, but how much closer are we to beating Meta to the punch and better at their schemes? Is this what Justin Sun wants? Is Steemit still full of creative, enlightening, insightful, diverse people from every space, every culture around the Internet?

I met a wonderful group of people here when I first started, back in 2017. How so much has changed since then, from the rise and fall of delegations, upvote bots, and so many flame threads over witnesses and coding...(sigh)

Is it still all here?
