Well, I'm doing what I like. There are no rules and boundaries in here, just common sense. If someone tries to enforce something, it goes against the freedom of the chain.
As the feud is old, there have been always different excuses for the downvotes, from abuse, scammer, where everything in time was proven on the contrary, to low effort, and no engagement, where people are afraid to comment, due to retaliation. Well, everyone in here knows if they had an argument with the other individual, they got flagged. Especially in discord, where he does not articulate his views. But, this is another story.
I don't mind his downvotes, I just do it as a reciprocity. I don't beg for upvotes, and just do my stuff. In the end, I've brought many more people in here, I've been to Hivefest a couple of times, on the last one got sponsored the ticket, due to a contest in here, and to the first I was, I sponsored the tickets to some. And on the edition I wasn't present, I've donated to the travel fund, to help people get there. It is not about the money in the end, and yes, I would use the funds that I have as I wish.
And I think, that the person I have the feud here, is only for personal gain, and probably ego feeding. I'm a free man, and will not bow to someone's falsely build ego, just by stake owning. There are different ways of building relationships, and mine is over communication.
In the end, I feel sorry for him, as you must imagine, that he muted me 3 years ago, and downvotes everything, so he needs to click somewhere on a bookmark, or type my account in the bar, to be able to downvote. That might show some deeper issues in his behaviour, that I can't judge.
And again, do as you please with the downvotes and upvotes. As I have this issue now with this person, I sadly don't downvote scammers, spammers, and abusers, which I should do.
You do you, universe will do universe.
No problem from my end.
Universe is good, thank you, been a blessing lately.
Hope your health is getting better, without any sarcasm.
