RE: About embracing Downvotes | Something that should be Normalized on Hive

in #downvotes4 years ago

Downvotes are in themselves not bad but it becomes a questionable tool when it is used to settle personal differences. I approve of downvotes but I kick against it when it is used as a tool of intimidation, oppression, silence, annihilation, etc. When the latter happens, I think there should be an avenue for the persecuted user to cry for help. If that avenue remains unavailable on Hive, I fear that we could have a dog-eat-dog scenario. Cheers!
