Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I completely agree... downvotes should come with accountability and context, not as tools for unchecked power trips. It's frustrating when users who never support others suddenly show up only to penalize.
Hopefully, with more awareness and open discussion like this, we can encourage more responsible use of downvotes and improve the experience here in the Hive platform.
Yes, that's frustrating. When you asked them for an explanation, all I read was appeal my case in their Discord channel. That to me is adding insult to injury. They have to prove their case that a violation indeed has been committed, not the other way around.
Exactly... using downvotes responsibly should be a baseline expectation, not a rare exception. What you shared here really helps shed light on the issue (in my point of view).
