Witnesses should regularly post when they downvote people to show what they think is wrong.
Marky could do this to educate the authors without having to give personalized explanations.
If we make lists of causes, we might not even get 20 reasons, and there might be a lot of overlap.
I also agree, but the amount of flags Marky flies makes the prospect of repeatedly stating a reason daunting, even if just selecting from a list. He'd also be spamming the chain with automated comment, perhaps becoming the monster he seeks to slay.
Thanks!
I believe it's better to regularly publish posts with examples of downvotes, explaining what was wrong with them, as educational material. Instead of just replying or leaving comments.
If the most important figures on the network did this, things would be much easier.
I agree with this. Thank you as always for sharing your perspectives and being bold. There is a lot of courage that both you have.
@valued-customer this is directed at you as well.
If I did not have you guys it would take me a lot longer to put all the pieces together.
Forthright discussion is truly one of the most valuable things we can have, and I am happy to benefit from it as well. Diego just cut to how the matter can best be handled and enable folks to understand why they might earn DV's. I might have never thought of it.
Ideas are rarely solely our own. Need to talk to other people to learn from them. Diego teaches me a lot even if he doesn't mean to lol

Yea I agree. I think a more human approach will go a long way!
Probably will take some work to make this the norm but it at least feels like we are heading in the right direction.
I don't comment for one reason.
The outcome is always the same.
They are a victim, I am an asshole.
If you explain why, in some cases you can achieve a change in behavior.
Let me give you a real example: Hurtlocker gave some negative votes in the Rising Star community a while ago.
The Rising Star Discord chat discussed it.
What I mean is that if downvotes are going to be discussed, the reasons can also be addressed, especially if an explanation is provided.
It's simple: "This in particular bothered me." And you usually have a valid reason for giving the downvote.
I can affirm that even when I did give him reason to DV me, he refrained and simply pointed out the injury I had done him. He hasn't ever DV'd me despite my rather strident discussion that strayed into insuperable comment at least once.
