Hi @paulag, thanks for the comments. I think the definition of dead followers requires a little bit of looking into. My instinct is that the definition of last post/vote occurring 1/2/3/4 months ago might relate to different types of followers, and as the number of people you follow/follow you increases it becomes difficult to respond to them frequently.

At some point I'll be able to spend more time doing a longer piece, but right now I am trying to build up interest in greenfield topics like #infographics and helping out with utopian.io. I have been reading through conversations in Discord so I can see what everyone else is doing as well; I think #bisteemit is an exciting area and you have done such a good job promoting it :)
