I will talk about my personal experience, which has made be start a power down of almost all my HP. I will keep a bit just to have RC since I play Splinterlands but I'm done posting. There's a Splinterlands player who calls himself the ambassador of Splinterlands yet he's driven away so many from Hive and also from the game itself. I was having a discussion on Discord in the Splinterlands server. It wasn't just with him. We disagreed but there was no disrespect, at least on my side. I checked my posts and all of my posts had been downvoted by that person. Except for the 2 weekly contest posts. He also had done the same 6 days ago and I have no idea why. I downvoted his current posts too. He went nuclear and downvoted the 2 weekly posts from the contest (which also takes away rewards from Splinterlands and the DAO) and now I'm basically done with Hive. This is a child bully who never did anything meaningful in life, somehow got rich probably due to inheritance and now uses their money to feel powerful on this platform.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm really sorry things ended up this way... it’s upsetting when disagreements turn into targeted downvoting (it happened to me as well, in the past and until now), especially when it affects broader efforts like Splinterlands and the DAO.
Your story reflects exactly the kind of misuse I was hoping to highlight. I respect your decision to step back, but I do hope the platform becomes a better place in the future... one where you'd feel welcome again.
Wishing you the best!
Thanks again. I don't have much hope for the platform. That's because these users with power do that stuff while pretending to defend the platform and they keep growing their assets without any investment. They even participate in vote trading and other things they are public critics of. Often in ways that are a bit more hidden. When the worst people here have a lot of power and that power keeps growing, there's no way for it to get better.
I have noticed that These guys are just downvoting anyone who has made $$$ with Splinterlands, actifit, Bitcoin, Tron etc … Blocktrades, Buildawhale, themarkymark, azircon, acidyo, solominer, gogreenbuddy and a few others
I'm so sorry for your experience, please if there's a way out of it, find the solution and stay. Reading people comments and I'm getting scared 😳 already. Best wishes to you.
Thank you for your words. I won't be leaving 100% at least while I still play Splinterlands. But I won't be making posts anymore and I started powering down my HP.
Nice decision. Stay safe. And you're welcome 🤗.
