The user has repeatedly disrespected the communities in which posted by refusing to stop plagiarising (stealing) other people's photography and also using AI generated writings. Fraudulently creating fake stories to deceive the community. Then falsely claiming that the photographs are of her ownership. When asked for evidence by verification of the sources, refused to do so. Also refused to verify legitimacy of Hive account by ignoring requests to verify the account via legitimate social media. The user was not posting in the "dark" because received clear posting guides about plagiarism and AI use, which were completely ignored. Besides, it's a common knowledge around the world that using someone else's work/content to falsely claim authorship of, is considered socially reprehensible. I am not sure why you are defending such actions. It's interesting that your account has hardly had any engagement with Hive community throughout the years but suddenly jumped into commenting here.

The reason I'm responding is because I've experienced the same thing myself. There are a few people who seem to show up just to downvote. When you ask why, they stay quiet. No explanation, no discussion, no attempt to engage just a downvote and then they disappear.
I have no problem with people disagreeing with me. In fact, I welcome criticism and different opinions. If I'm doing something wrong or posting something that doesn't belong, I'd much rather have someone explain it to me. There are people here who have been part of this community much longer than I have, and a little guidance goes a lot further than a silent downvote.
What makes it frustrating is that it's often the same people over and over again, regardless of what the post is about. It's not a variety of members expressing different opinions; it's the same handful of individuals. So I completely understand her frustration because I've dealt with the same thing myself. Honestly, it's one of the reasons I've stepped away from the community at times.
To downvote without any explanation feels more like a personal attack than constructive feedback. If someone disagrees with what I said, that's completely fine tell me why. Start a conversation. Share your perspective. But repeatedly downvoting and refusing to engage doesn't help anyone learn, grow, or understand a different point of view.
