Yes, they follow me. Those that are trying are trying. Many from other countries or with poor wifi cannot access discord at all.
If you are asking small blogs to come beg you for votes @whatsup, I do not think that is the best idea. But theycallmedan and some others do weekly posts where they ask people to drop good post links and MAYBE they will vote them. I generally find that to be a waste of time as the vote rarely comes. Much better to look at pre-curated posts like I have listed above.
My effort is to get people with high power like you to support smaller blogs without anyone spending all day on the task.
Please write a post about the places you know with proven track records. I will definitely investigate and recommend anything if I am not already doing so.
Well, if the whole thing is impacting your mental health I was just offering up some other places to send these folks.
