Good to see you back mate. Steem has been stagnant, but there are some small glimmers of hope. Steemit may actually deliver some of the promised features. Some ad hoc communities are thriving with some help from the tribe tokens. The Steem price sucks, but I may buy more.

I'm mostly using Partiko on my phone, despite the lack of development, and Steempeak plus eSteem on the PC, so the Steemit ads are not an issue. At least they reduce the amount of Steem they need to sell to cover their costs.

The last hardforks have changed activity to favour more real curation that includes downvoting the crap. That obviously upset some people, but it's a net benefit.

I'm sure you will catch up.

I still enjoy the community.
