Also, if you set your default rewards to "decline payout" this will immunize you to downvotes.
Supporters can still send you steem, and or steemdelegations.

This would be supporting the dishonor that this platform supports.
We could use Facebook and send each other bitcoin too, avoiding Steem altogether. But we don't want to do that. We want a platform that supports Free Speech, and doesn't discriminate and attack your finances when an angry whale decides to take your 'rewards' away ;)
I agree. The downvoter in this case is actually a pretty small fish (12,236.461 steempower).
I'm just trying to help "stop the bleeding" so to speak.
Thanks for the advise. I'll try that. There were hardly any rewards (and now, thanks to this SOB there won't be any at all), so that's not a big deal. This freak appears to be looking for and voting down everything I post regardless of the contents (including comments to other posts). If I can keep posting and commenting without fear that this vengeful jerk votes me down to a negative reputation - that's sure worth losing a few satoshi in steem rewards.
And hopefully we can boost you out of your 8 rep!
Downvoters with lower rep than you have no effect on your rep, so if we can get you above the default of 25, then most of the small-fry downvotes won't cause you any problems.
My understanding is that downvotes are not to be used to "virtue signal" simple differences of opinion. That's what the "mute" button is for.
Downvoting is free-speech in the exact same way that shouting down a speaker in public is free-speech.
This is the first time I've actually spoken to someone who openly advocates for SJW tactics.
Are you saying that I should be expressing myself by Downvoting those that I disagree with? Like so many on here do when they remove the rewards from someone who created content? I should just, express myself, by removing their rewards?
FROM THE OFFICIAL (UNOFFICIAL) STEEMIT ETIQUITE GUIDE
"rewards" and "This post is hidden..." "This picture is hidden." This............
I understood the downvote to be to combat SPAM, Bots, etc.
You use it to hide posts and take time and effort payoff (rewards) money from those that you don't like.
...and that is exactly what I see all over the internet in regards to those that have left here and why. Soooo many to ignore?
Completely Illogical.
What surprised me in this whole story is that a single downvote could outweigh several upvotes. I could understand if there were 6 downvotes vs 5 upvotes - the net score would be negative. But when one behemoth downvoter can use all his steam power to make half-a-dozen comments hidden and slash one's reputation three-fold overnight - that was a rather nasty surprise. Thanks again to all who helped me to get back on my feet.
You lost me in the first sentence.
You are for some reason not able to grasp the point.
Keep calling me names though it is fucking hilarious. These examples are priceless.
Continue your frenzy sir.
Way better than facebook.
