You can't let them downvotes get to you, some folks aren't given any couth in their childhoods, it's not their fault, iyam, they can't know better.
The reason you shouldn't let them downvotes bother you is because downvoting is essential to the distribution of the coin.
You should be following downvote trails with your hive.vote account, imo.
Set your cut off at ~30% and let the hivekeepers worry about who is abusing.
Join the discord (https://discord.gg/hKRE6W) if you want in on the discussions.
Plenty of real abuse taking place.
We need all the accounts we can get.
Not so much for the amount you can claw back, but to let it be known that the community takes a dim view of abuse.
Welcome to hive, you should have no problem finding popularity.
