To support your work, I also upvoted your post!

What did you do?
Why you getting downvoted?
Did you step on a big tail?

I thought it was just some downvote spammers. But after reading some other posts and hearing from a couple friends I am guessing it's because I self upvote. No one has actually said a peep just passive aggressive downvotes. I was mostly upvoting my own posts and comments for a while now due to downvote spam from that one bit account "somethingcunts". But I saw theres an, freezepeach I think, account/dapp that can counter act that. I wont self upvote and see what happens.

If it doesnt stop then I'm out. I'll repost here and treat it like i do Steem. I can invest my time and money elsewhere. I'm seeing these same thoughts from others as well. Theres many other blockchain social media project out there and I dont need to focus on Hive as my social media account to play Splinterlands or other games.

Well I hope it works out for you, there is always that nagging feeling of loss when people leave and we are left with fuckers like me LOL

Lol. Well you can always join the exodus if one happens.

Does my comment say "Reveal comment" to you? Like how the hell does a dust worth of downvote do that ? Why would it hide my own comment from me?

Also, I might just move my investment from HIVE itself and focus on the community level more. The downvote spam doesnt seem to make me loose my other tokens from my posts. I do hope the good communities here also bridge out to other chains inthe future. I feel like one or two do already... I know there are dapps that do. Like those that sell NFTs and game assets on Wax.

Yes, it unfortunately says reveal comments.

Yeah but if I fix that myself its apparently "abuse"...lol.

No exodus for me. I will go down swinging like a chinaman on a bull shop.

What do you mean, I don't follow.

if I fix that myself its apparently "abuse"

upvoting yourself is apparenlty abuse of hive power and from what I am reading and hearing thats why me and a lot of other people have been getting spammed with downvotes.

Make sure to break every damn plate!! LOL.

yeah, I don't upvote myself and don't support upvoters but in saying that I wouldn't downvote unless of course its a whale upvoting themselves then...

Yeah, I could see that being an issue with whales. But I am pretty sure I am still a minnow. I also dont see any rules about it in some white paper, and if its such a big deal than remove the value of self upvotes or remove the option all together. I guess Hive is less decentralized than I thought.

Being able to upvote yourself due to spam downvotes is a huge reason anyone should be able to do so at the very least. But nah....

Each to their own man. The blockchain benevolent dictatorship

I was being each to my own...wait did that make sense LOL

There is only real guarantee in anything and everything that one does. If you want to make things go your way, you must be in control. The only way to control is to have power.

Not sure about bitches, because all they do is suck the life out of you. Figuratively and literally.

It was clear as mud for non discerning eyes

Psychic vampires lol

Just got downvote attacked again just for comment on someone's post. They're just passive aggressive bullies dude. I literally have done nothing to these people. Not one of them has ever said said to me. Just started attacking. I'm browing other posts and it not just me. These people would be fine if I started calling for death but if I just exist or dare I say upvote myself, which I stopped since that's the only thing I can make sense from researching these attacks, theyll freak out. Less issues with youtube lol. $5 says I could actually spam people and they wouldnt blink.

Well here's the thing, who ever is thinking of doing shit like this and driving people out, hope they realize that the reason there is value in this block are the number of people utilizing it. So hope they have a grand scheme for future growth.

Alternatively it could be a drive to downvote you in the hopes of you buying more to fight back then driving the price for them to dump their hold.

Splinterlands and dapps like that will do fine. People signing up for those are often not doing a thing on Hive as a social media platform. If these people want Hive to be more than at best a Myspace level, then they need to rethink things. People leave for way less than this too. Theres dozens of platforms that allow easy monetization. And no matter what people think I still own the content elsewhere, even if they get to make more than me off it or delete it, and with NFTs I can blockchain any of it just as easy. All the good projects on here dont need Hive to sky rally either.

Watch out talking to me. You might get put on a blacklist lol

It's ok, even on a normal day I piss people off and I don't even mean to. It's the nature of the beast in all of us.
