I hear you about replying. I feel like I've been playing catch up for a while even though I do manage some steem time everyday. I guess commenting reading and such old school is just going to make you feel that way. I should probably figure out how to do some autovotes for some, but I always want to read the things as well.
That's so good they have a vending machine. We always have signs everywhere about bread killing birds and such but then offer no solutions.
Sometimes I use http://fast-reply.surge.sh/#/ for faster replies. I'm autovoting only one user with SteemDunk, I liked their interface a lot.
I didn't know bread was bad news for ducks, if that's really the case, it needs to be better communicated maybe?
