Thank you for another interesting News and the great offer to smilenigeria solar project, this indeed is a great act of hospitality worth emulating.
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁⛄🎅 to you and yours, and have a happy and safe new year. Thank you for witness voting for me.
Festive greetings and thank you for your support as well.
Thank you so much for this great donation for the steem solar, it means a whole lot.
I don't know if it warrants a mention, but Actifit has announced they are dropping support for Steem, apparently they faced a lot of negativity after posting a funding proposal.
Thanks for the information. Were many people still using Actifit on Steem?
There's probably a better way to figure it out, but eyeballing the number of different posts in the Actifit community from a day over a week ago it looks like over one hundred.
Wow, that quite a lot for Actifit to give up on.
Particularly as they say in their proposal that they only have 260 Daily Active Users.
Most users will probably still keep using the app on Hive, cross-posting to Steem was framed more as a side bonus since Actifit has oriented themselves to be primarily Hive-based since the split. The amount of rewards from their votes were also smaller over here.
Your post has been rewarded by the Seven Team.
Support partner witnesses
We are the hope!
Thank you
