yes, absolutely, they do great mission, but they don't cover and maybe can't cover all good content here.
The clon is Golos. No, I am not there now. I left it 2 years ago and came to Steemit. As far as I know there were great changes there, and they influenced on the platform negatively. Actually, the platform worked fine when I came there, but very soon it began to crush. The problems were alike: if you are not a friend of a whale, you have low chances to suceed. Even if you are a genius. Moreover, you had to know what to say and how, because you could lose support of influencial people easily. For example, I lost it in the same way;) Just wrote some words that irritated "big" men there;) And I must admit, here people are more friendly and open. I was surprised. Maybe because Steemit is much bigger, more international, Golos is more like a cage with snakes and only several nice birds.
