Please see @lukestokes for my main account. The @lukes.random account is used by me to test out various Steem integrations and for sharing social media content which may not deserve the auto-votes my main account currently enjoys. I'll often re-share things you can find on my Twitter (@lukestokes) and Facebook (bestoked) accounts.
