Facebook and Steemit are soooo different that I don't think you will ever get the same kind of interaction to be honest. Steemit was modeled after Reddit, so you can kind of expect the same level of personal interaction.

Now, Discord is a game changer, as it is more like the olden days of AIM, where you can private chat and that's super fun. I eventually left the main chats though because I had people PMing me and spreading gossip, and I was just done with it all. In that way, I have dropped out of the social circles in a big way. I have met one of my best friends on here though, and I talk to her nearly every night.

I have never felt welcomed or comfortable posting personal stuff on here, not statuses or pictures, I feel like people don't like that, and tbh that was the point of Steemit...to have quality blogs and now with Dtube, vlogs.
If we ever want to take it up a notch, we have to get more relaxed and used to people not dumping hours into their work.

Remember in the beginning our awesome little group that has all but disappeared? Everyone was SO focused on quality posts. "quality this", "quality that" and I bought into it too and spent SOOOOO much time on blogs and videos, and then I was frustrated if they didn't do well, primarily because that isn't what I wanted to be putting out there on this new social media. I was hoping it would be more like FB, but then ran into the "shitpost" brigade and felt like if I posted a meme and got more than a dollar for it, that I would have people breathing down my neck about it. This has not always been a terribly welcoming atmosphere for just normal content.

I think this could also be the answer to why so many people just produce.

I may eventually get back into being more social on here, but so many people have been so catty, (with the money being such a huge part of Steemit) that I haven't felt very "friendly" if you know what I mean.

Just my two cents!! :)
