I'm familiar with suicide as many of my military friends have taken that route due to the lack of Government assistance and issues with PTSD and moral injury...The thought of someone taking their own life over a downvote is simply laughable when compared to what I've seen and dealt with over the years so.
This conversation, moving to suicide over downvotes, is going in a direction I'd not like it to; you may not understand, but if you knew me you would.
I really don’t think it is I think for some people if they have a chance to get food that week and see a payout then it gets taken away ten hours before payout I really think that can damage someoen. Not someone who has access to other money but we forget who uses these platforms not everyone has money and many live in thirdworld countries where these kind of payouts can be life changing.
You speak of Hive as if it's everyone's saviour and continue down the downvote line. Just so you know, I issue downvotes, like $6 ones, when required. I think it's a good thing. Life is hard, for some, but cheating the system, double posting, plagiarism, is always going to get punished when I see it. I don't care if they have to eat...By doing the wrong thing they are taking away the opportunity for someone else to gain who is doing the right thing.
I thought I'd get that out there.
As I said above, comparing suicide on Hive to PTSD-related suicide is, to me laughable and ridiculous. As I also said, it's not something I'm comfortable with talking above for personal reasons and so won't continue this comment thread. Ok?
I think plagerism obviously is Fair enough but taking someone to 0 because you don’t like them or because they believe in having a covid jab vs not having one or they think the earth is flat or isn’t and laughing about it isn’t the same kind of reasoning. I am not sure we will agree on that one. But like I said it doesn’t take away that I shouldn’t have snapped back. The reason I looked him up actually was because I thOught the name sounded familiar from steemit coffee meetups back int the day and I just couldn’t believe this same guy was downvoting me constantly and not telling me why. I thought it was completely personal and I knew him. That’s why I googled the user name and tried to find out who he was. it wasn’t him and I shouldn’t have then laughed at the youtube that was really childish and immature of me. But just thought I should explain that was why I went looking. But like I said not excuseable to laugh at someone’s YouTube videos being a bit crazy whatever the circumstances, we are all a bit crazy anyways I know I am. Anyways Thankyou for engaging with me and although we will have to beg to differ on down voting and how it can negatively affect someone mentally I want to say Thankyou for chatting.
I downvote for blockchain abuse...It's not personal.
All the best Sarah, I hope you find happiness because you deserve it. If it is not on Hive then so be it; I'm pretty confident that your life is fulfilled elsewhere anyway.
Be well.
And I understand it’s als close to me for various reasons too which and shan’t share publicly but sorry if I brought something up for you that was certainly not my intention.
