Things seem a lot more mellow on Hive - downvoting is generally for financial reasons - anyone who makes more than about $40 for a post is in danger of getting it trimmed by reward pool nazis.
Those guys giving me shit all left long ago - one of them is now a born again christian on twitter (I don't use twitter but clicked on a link)
But I've just started using my sift account again with the rewards turned off as a second account because I figure there is not much anyone can do about it - I'm already blacklisted on that account and they can't downvote zero.
On @frot I'm a bit establishment these days...
