Thanks for this post @lexiconical. I was so glad to see your name in my feed! It's been a minute. I knew you were still with STEEM, as I've seen your name on Discord and @utopian.io to name a few!
I will take a few notes and give this win-win a try. It really helps to see those who are participants giving it 2-thumbs up; not to mention, you're an avid supporter.
This sounds like a great defense against rogue up-vote bots.
Ask my girlfriend
Aha! Perhaps, this helps explain why you've been uploading fewer posts. :+) I am so thankful to know that you have a special someone to share the season with...and, perhaps forever more...ha ha!
Now, to get out of your business (lol); and, back in my lane...While I have your attention, I'd like to be sure that you have @utopian.io on my Witness list.
Best regards!
Peace.
I added a vote for Utopian some time ago.
As for my gf, she's been around voting on all of you guys for months. No doubt you've gotten some from her. Those were her points sales I posted up above from when she votes through SF. (She's a mini-whale, as I convinced her to go in on Steem as well. Mostly she only votes on SF and the comments of my blog.)
I've known her since before Steem. My absence was related to a variety of other factors, including being ridiculously busy in "meatspace".
Good news...I was pretty sure since I saw your name on @utopian.io lists; but, just wanted to be 100%.
How cool! Then, I won't say too much about the knee-drop linked to the famous line, and the save-the-date shout-outs...lol...
... when love crosses your path, it's time to seal the deal! (Getting back in my lane now) ;+)
Yes, sometimes we're reminded there's a world outside of virtual.
Best regards!
Peace.
