RE: Downvotes aren't so bad

This issue has been really hurting my heart lately, because I keep seeing people that I know, and that actively support both our own community, and Hive as a whole, getting all their posts zeroed out. For them, it is so utterly disheartening and demotivating, as they're giving their all to help Hive, and they're being punished. I'm not against downvoting, but it's a tool that needs to be used with actual care, because to me, if a Hiver's posts and comments are being downvoted with no communication as to the reason, it's abuse. From my perspective at the moment, I don't think that Hive will ever be able to reach its full potential if this issue is not resolved, such as a change to the downvote feature, where a reason must be given. I've come to despise downvote trails, because whoever controls the lead account basically has a weapon that they can wield at will, and if their intentions are not admirable, that's a problem. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
