I hope the hardfork all goes smoothly. We shouldn't expect too many radical changes, but things will need tweaking and fixing. I heard someone say there were changes to voting power, but I have not seen the full details on that.

My understanding is that all votes will give the same $ value now instead of the first one having a bigger value and so on :)
Here's the intial request and I think it explains it pretty well: https://hive.blog/hive-139531/@miosha/request-quality-of-life-change
Ah, that was two years ago. My habit has been to vote with varying power until my voting mana got down to about 80% so it could recover a bit overnight. The rewards I give gets lower as that percentage drops. That seems a reasonable way to limit how much you can vote. If I understand correctly the latter would not happen after this change. What happens if my mana gets really low?
The analogy I saw for mana is that is a bucket being filled at a constant rate (until full) and each vote is like scooping some out.
I just want my votes to have maximum impact for others, so I wonder if I need to change strategy. The impact seems more on smaller accounts who may not be able to vote above the dust threshold if they vote several times, so more posts may get something. In general the rewards should not change much as everyone will have the same ability to give consistent vote power.
Every time I think I understand these things I seem to miss something :)
From now on, all your votes with the same weight will give the same reward until you run out of voting mana, so if you want to reflect the old behaviour you should decrease your weight by 2% everytime you vote. If you keep your strategy you will actually reward a bit more because voting order won't affect the rewards. I mean, until now, your tenth vote, even though it was 100%, did not have the same impact as your first vote with full mana.
I would probably vote with a constant level, well I vary it anyway to manage my VP. That could change going forward. I just want to give out decent rewards. I do small ones one Snaps and a constant value would be good for that.
