I think myLot is better than Facebook

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Facebook, Im also a facebook user and have been a user for 10 years now since I joined in 2006. I like facebook because I am able to reach out with my friends and family even if they are far away but since i joined myLot two days ago I can't help but notice that myLot is better than facebook in many ways. First, yeah it has the same features as facebook, you can like, comment and share. And you can post and share something out of your daily life to others. But I find myLot more interesting because your not just posting some random stuff just so you can post something. Your actually sharing something that is worth talking about. And you can actually interact with other people who you have never known before and learning new things from them as well. People define social sites as an online community. but i never felt like this on facebook. i have friends but is limited to those who i personally know by face and by name, and i don't add and follow random people because i also wanted to protect my confidentiality as a person. But here on myLot i find it more easier to trust others and share something out of my daily life to them. Setting aside the earning feature of myLot, I really enjoy being here because I am able to learn something from others. Their views, opinions, believes, culture and mostly how they live their life. And I am humbled and honored that I am experiencing this kind of learning that not all other people are experiencing. I am a social person, I like getting to know other people a lot and I am thankful that i was able to join myLot and I plan to stay as a member as long as myLot existed. Thank you for everyone who has been liking, responding,and commenting on my posts since i joined. And I hope I would have a lot of friends here. More power to the myLot community.

Point taken , I think facebook is for maintaining the connection while mylot is for people who really wanted to express without being judged .Because I see a lot of people in facebook who bully other people based on their post.

I agree with you. Here, I learn a lot from all other mylotters. Moreover, I find mylotters here are more open-minded, supportive and friendly too. Though I still visit Facebook everyday, mostly to read the important information shared in the parenting or homeschooling groups I join, not so much to interact with friends nowadays. Of course, Facebook is still a place where I can get connected with my real life friends. Glad that you have found mylot! Enjoy your stay here!

Mylot don't have the rabid hostile cyber bullies you will find in Topix, Youtube comments, Yahoo answers, Reddit, Facebook and Twitter. One of the best things about Mylot is the fact there is no cyber bully tolerance here.

I have to agree with you. Plus I like interacting with people who have a say and is opinionated. In this way I can broaden my knowledge when it comes to different subject matter. Because we all have different perspective and we also earn hahaha.

@abrielle28 ditto. I like when other people can point out something I might neglect in the past also new learnings can add up to our knowledge of the world.

You have to be careful what you say on Facebook since I have heard the horror stories from some conservative posts on that website than have been censored.
