I'm naturally pretty competitive, so I had to remind myself a couple of times to not game the system. I posted more than normal, which led to zapping more than normal, but I resisted the urge to zap recent posts just for the sake of zapping early.

That sort of helped me remember what drove me to SN in the first place. It wasn't primarily for my benefit, it was because I wanted to support people who were opting into alternative systems.

One of the ways that manifested this month was being more forthcoming with bigger zaps for people doing interesting stuff or just making this a better place. I'm pretty sure that habit will carry forward into future months.
