I honestly think his post brought more good attention to the project than bad ones, people asking questions without going so far as to downvote before asking is good. It's not like we can censor stuff here where his intentions were to paint it in a bad light, and you literally upvoted the positive comments on his post to the top so not sure why you'd prefer people to ask privately before driving attention to your projects - i think it's good to show outsiders why things on hive work well since things are so transparent.

I’m tired of ppl talking about downvoting legit projects and people before either properly clarifying privately or doing proper research.
The positive comments were very very well researched and at least three of them constituted complete blogs by themselves. Upvotes were very low considering the effort put in
xd it was one post in like 2 years, try downvoting a bit more and see how people start taking apart every little action you do.
Trust me, people trying to do legit things on this chain have to tip toe around known downvoters A LOT more than once in two years. It’s a huge issue on hive. Of u don’t think it’s an issue, ur account clearly isn’t affected, but this down voting and forcing of legit people off of this chain is a serious problem on hive.
Okay but I mean "good downvotes", like lowering rewards on posts you mentioned are overrewarded but clearly no one is consuming/not bringing/holding any value on hive. If we wanna normalize that and move away from the current stigma and endless drama/debates/hate/grudges/retaliation/threats/etc we gotta do it more and make people understand that's how the platform is supposed to work while also holding bad downvoters accountable and counter bad downvotes, downvotes placing posts to 0, etc, not tell people not to even mention downvotes like it's voldemort.
