After I wrote everything I think and got 82 votes against, I don't think this is the right decision :) Thank you for your empathy.
Many of the downvotes you got is due to the mass tagging that you did. I know there are dysfunctional folks on this chain but the majority of users are quite sane.
Hi @gentleshaid,
stumbled over your name and comment. Still on the chain, are you? :)
I think the majority is always on the sane side (well, ... depends though . lol). For my part, I find it kind of too much to downvote someone who obviously did an experiment - a comment also would serve the purpose of saying "don't tag me", wouldn't it? But anyways, people react like they react.
Greetings from the far!
Hi Erika @erh.germany. I've ways been around on this chain. It's my virtual home. Glad to meet you again after a while.
Indeed, the majority of users here are sane tbh. People downvote for no reason at all on Reddit where money isn't even involved. I just laugh when users on hive complain of just few downvotes. Why dwell on the negative when there are far many users who upvote you?
Money not being involved makes the downvotes make more sense though because downvotes don't cause as much harm on reddit as they do on a platform where downvotes impact income. Also, on reddit while some people do downvote for the wrong reasons, you're not supposed to downvote for no reason. There's specific reasons in the reddiquette for downvoting and "no reason" and "I don't like what you said" aren't the legitimate reasons stated in the reddiquette guidelines. Reddit seems to be getting worse for people downvoting for the wrong reasons though OR the communities I've spent more time in more recently compared to before are more prone to misusing downvotes (I think it might be a mix of the two). Regardless, I'm sure everyone would rather a downvote on reddit than on here and I would be more willing to downvote someone on reddit than on here because a downvote on reddit doesn't actively harm their income so I don't get your point with that sentence because "money isn't even involved" is more reason to be flippant with downvoting and money being involved is more reason to be careful with downvoting because the consequences of the downvote are harsher on here than on reddit.
100% It's nice that thanks to this post I found a lot of people interesting to me. Thank you for support!!!
