RE: Spare some upvotes?

in #community6 years ago (edited)

I seem to have hit a nice balance where I comment at length (50 + words) a few times a week with 20 odd people, even daily with some (a lot of them Brits oddly enough) and then drop in with shorter commentz (sometimes longer) less regularly with another... I need to.check... it's somewhere between 50 and 200!\n\nI couldn't do any more! NB as an ex teacher with an average of 80 students a year I'd say it's impossible to maintain meaningful relationships with that number - it's just too many minds for one person! 20 would be much more sustainable.\n\nOn that note I sometimes wonder whether @tarazkp sleeps. He seems a lot more prolific.\n\nPS - feel free to.upvote my comments @1% - I use @dustsweeper. \n\nPosted using Partiko Android

True, you can't get very personal with that many people, it's just...too much. At the same time, even 20 is incredible, don't you think? It's quite a lot of interaction (albeit online), and all found each other through this one platform. Pretty amazing.
I love getting lengthy comments - I mean I appreciate the short, appreciative ones, but I've gotten into some great conversations from lengthy comments (with yourself included) and it seems to that's what this platform should really be about.
How do you use @dustsweeper? Do you just tag them and it works, or...?

On that note I sometimes wonder whether @tarazkp sleeps.

I know he claims to, but I don't know what to think. He's, I think, the most active member of Steem. And if it seems exhausting for you and me, I wonder what it's like for him...:O

It's an interesting thing to think about - how many people you can have a meaningful bond with - in terms of local friends - my groups have tended to vary from 4- 10. \n\nIt is nice having longer convos on here now I've got the time for it..\n\n@dustsweeper - you pay an amount of sbds and it upvotes yr below dust comment to payout threshold (0.02 I think). \n\nI imagine itll be working overtime given the price crash!\n\nI'm gonna hold off voting comments for a day or so.\n\nThnks for the conversation compliment and back at ya!
