RE: I Tried My Best and Have No Regrets

in The Pub3 days ago

When you unfriended me on Discord, I thought there was a problem, but then I followed your blog posts and saw that you had chosen a path. Very few people on Hive wonder why they get downvoted and accept it when they find out the answer. Most ask angrily, “WHY?!!!” and don't hesitate to threaten you. Sometimes I look at old Steem posts and see several big downvotes on each one. At least no one argues in the comments, “Why did you downvote me?” When I joined Hive a few years ago, there were downvote accounts that followed Ocdb, xocdb appreciator, and xappreciator. I don't know where they've gone now. Downvotes have decreased over the last few years, and very few accounts use them. There used to be more people who used them. When I get downvoted, I just wonder why, so I don't repeat it if I did something wrong. If they think I'm over-rewarded, I respect that.

I know you're trying your best, I've known you personally since the Moon game, but I also saw that we chatted on the Holozing server before. It's impossible not to respect the decision you've made now; even if you have a mind of steel, being constantly threatened is a difficult thing. To be honest, I couldn't do that.

Please don’t feel like I removed you as a friend. I deleted my entire discord which was way more hardcore and everyone got removed 🤣

This path was not the only reason but the main reason, I want to curate “good” content on HIVE with as little influence as possible.

I think the downvotes should be used more but culturally not everyone here is ok with that. Maybe that will change but I’m not sure when or how.

The other reason I removed my discord and all the contacts was my discord was too out of control and frankly, I want to spend more time doing other stuff I can enjoy and trying some new things.

Also, moon was/is awesome and I’m glad we got to play together!

Yeah, man, when you unfollowed everyone on Hive, I realized it wasn't personal 😅

For some people, this is a source of income. The $1 they earn here each day is a significant amount for their household. I can imagine that losing this would anger them greatly. On the other hand, as a stakeholder, you can downvote posts you consider low-quality.

I tried to make it really clear it was not personal lol.

Also, I don't believe I can downvote posts that are low-quality and I don't believe people here are ok with people using their stake as they wish.

Of course, quality is subjective, like liking or disliking something. Something that seems worthless to you may be very valuable to someone else. That's what I meant.

gotcha!

Yea I total agree with that! And it always will be (:
