Along with cutting down on the self voting I know I for one have been utilizing the esteem app. Under the settings on the app you can adjust your voting power on a sliding scale. With the hard Fork changes I have noticed that this has been able to allow me to continue voting many people's things while not zeroing out my voting power. Because I'm one of a vote people's things that I like the problem is that I found too many of you to follow and you guys post awesome stuff! So I have found this to be a compromise where I can vote and still apply a good bump while not bottoming myself out. This is just something I found that is help me out and maybe it'll help out someone else. And with a hard for it changes voting on your own comments is definitely detrimental to the community.

I literally backspaced where I mentioned the esteem app. I am using it for testing purposes only but I vote only from the website (100 %). It puts a lot of strain on my voting power and I am feeling the heat now. Looks like I have to use eSteem app for some time before writing about it.
It is handy!
You may bump into an issue with this where it says you exceed your bandwidth allocation, it may just say 'transaction broadcast error' and will flag again the same error when you try again shortly afterwards. This is an invisible value that you can see if you look at your profile on https://steemd.com/@rotfoot
This is also why as part of the campaign to end the consensus permitting self voting, we also have to persuade the top 19 witnesses, I'm not sure how many of them it has to be for this specific parameter, to increase the block size to 128kb (131072 bytes, as you see on steemd.com/witnesses on my and several other backup witnesses now).
