RE: Welcome to the Blockchain, Now Leave...
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I don't know what the big deal is, people are hateful on other platforms, too, but on them there is nobody watching to see that they don't become too abusive.
Here folks will speak up for you.
If you get downvoted, and don't see an obvious reason, get in the downvote discord and ask.
If we don't downvote the 'abuse' we can the coins all go to those maximizing their take.
At some point that wrecks the chain, less so now that we have a 5 year track record, but certainly when there was less hive to go around.
If we don't start downvoting the highest earners pretty soon the distribution will be top heavy and the crab bucket will have failed.
I'd flip that around. If you're going to downvote someone, how's about leaving them a reason why in the comments, instead of expecting a new user to hunt around for it?
I'm not against downvoting actual abuse, but people doing it for no reason or just for laughs.
Shadow Downvote is a great idea, as it removes all of those cracked hearts, so that we don't scare away good content creators who intend to actually buy the HIVE or LEO token. You can have your cake and eat it too. We can have the downvote, just remove the cracked hearts and downvote away.
I think we all want the same thing. A strong platform and a growing userbase and token price. I support whatever will get us there, even if it includes the downvote.

I think we need a little more heart out of our creators, but that is just me.
I'm sorry your friend wasn't interested in finding out if s/he could make it here.
We needed their complaints to keep us on the right track.
Downvotes are there to stop the greedy from taking from all of us.
Doesn't always have to be against greedy either, it's fairly simple to judge certain posts or accounts for being overrewarded or farming autovotes on low effort content. Plenty of good uses for downvotes right there.
This post seems a tad overrewarded as well for the downvote fearmongering and saying users decided not to test out hive because someone could downvote them to 0 for "no reason". Feels like instead of looking for a reason why these random downvotes have been happening from sunsetjesus OP could've just brushed it off and mentioned that if malicious/unfair downvotes do happen there are many users who can step in and counter them. I guess that would defeat the narrative OP wanted to go with here.
It is proving difficult to overcome the downvote bias of the folks coming here, they mostly seem sensitive to their feels.
I mean, this is the internet, after all.
I prefer a community of folks that stand their ground rather than surrender to feels and appeal to authority.
So, our system seems to be working just fine.
Over rewarded? That’s where this platform is now? Downvoting because a award is large and maybe 2 large? That’s so not what it was meant for. If it’s a original good post and someone’s downvoting for that reason I think we should all call that out as BS and stand against it.
That's your right, counter the downvotes if you feel the rewards aren't high enough. You have 4x more upvotes than downvote mana.
Agreed
