I've taken a break from Hive during the winter break after once again being hit by bully downvotes which is just ridiculous and makes me feel I just should move on from Hive as I never really missed it to be honest.

The problems are clear and they have been in place for many years and only seem to be getting worse. The fact that there are no real new users while most end up giving up makes it hard to really find/make a real community here. It's individuals like you who would really keep me here. I don't see anything fundamentally changing that would improve the situation here on Hive.
