RE: Downvoting; a stakeholder's duty or a stakeholder's option? To me, the notion of duty to mandatory downvoting is fascism at its worst.

Nice post, nice thinking. I agree Marian!
Since the downvote pool was introduced last year,
i have been seeing it as a "Karma Trap", and no real
contribution to the community.
It even invites downvote bots, https://hive.blog/hivewatchers/@luca1777/is-dein-problem-a-downvote-bot
Did i dream this, or wasn't there once a 3 downvotes per day limit?
Anyway, downvoting sucks, ignoring is enough.
I am probably guilty of using it maybe once a month for some clown trolls,
but i wish downvoting would be gone or at least limited.
Thank You for this post.
100% up!vote and reblogged ;)

Thanks very much @luca1777 for your comment. I think you did well to downvote troll posts, if downvote has to be used it should be for the correct reasons! 😉

Thank you for your post, this topic "moves" me, too.
There are/have been a couple of cases where downvoting makes sense, like when the witnesses
downvoted Justin Suns post down to 0 ;)
But 80/20 i wanna concentrate on the lovers, and forget/ignore the haters...
