RE: The gatekeeping in Ecency

in Rant, Complain, Talk2 years ago

Have you ever asked a user why they have upvoted? If you say yes I'll not believe you.

Why don't you simply get on with what you're doing rather than worrying about what others are doing?

I'm sure you have things in your life that are more important and more worthy of your time than whining about a downvote that, in the grand scheme of your life, means absolutely nothing.

You can do as you like here, it's a free forum, however others also have that same right. Spending your time whinging about it isn't going to be productive for you; you can't change others so focus on what you do rather than complaining.

I'm trying to offer you some advice here.

Back a while I was receiving downvotes to the tune of $10-$12 on every post, for some 4-5 months. I never said a word. Those downvotes were coming to me because I was friends with someone else that downvoter didn't like, my brother in fact, who also received the downvotes. Not everyone is going to agree with everyone else and that's the way of the world. Try just getting on with your own life, draw a line beneath it: #cowgirl up and move on.

It's your choice though, as it is other people's choice to do as they choose.

Sort:  

it's not whining - it is just stating the obvious: justice should prevail, and I am sorry but I cannot help but feel bad when treated unjust (in my opinion).

Then you're in for a terrible life I think; if you do not have the ability to move on from things that really don't affect you all that much. I think that some day you will look back and agree with me, if not now.

In life, people are going to disagree with you. In your life bad things will happen that are not within your ability to control. In your life your looks will fade, things will sag, no matter what you do. In your life, you will die. That's a fact. That's why I suggest it's better to move on and just be you...letting others be them. Control the controllable things and let the rest drift away, you'll be happier.

I am sorry but I cannot help but feel bad when treated unjust

You're not special, we all feel that way Eva, maybe one day you'll come to learn my story and that may put your little downvotes into perspective...I hope someday you realise that it's you who are allowing negative things to enshroud you, that you have the ability to move forward and you have the ability to stop attaching stories to the things that happen and making them the reason you don't move forward...that only you have the ability to be you.

Eva, (if that's even your name), you're not an idiot, I know that much. You can post well, I've seen it. Just move on and do that if you can. If not...well, I don't think posts whining about being downvoted deserve the rewards they get and may act on it.

As I said earlier, it is your right to do as you please, just as it is mine, hence me taking the time to comment here or upvote/downvote as I choose.

Schooled 🤣

Whining about downvotes on Hive...seems unproductive to me.

I don't mean to stereotype but people like her do tend to whine about everything that doesn't suit them.

Yep, I'd agree with that. The shame of it is that they can often do much better, but choose not to preferring to rely on other attributes...until they're not around anymore I guess.

giving out that deep free philosophy
