Downvoting and flagging is the biggest issue With the hive platform. It strips all the joy out of using it, if you’re just worried about whether your post will get to the pay out without someone disagreeing with you or disliking you, that has more stake than you. Disagreement should be done through conversation not flexing power over people with less than you. It makes it no different than Facebook or other official platforms if a small group of wealthy people can dictate everything That gets seen or rewarded then have everyone else live in fear and afraid of saying anything controversial or questioning anything to do with the platform without fearing a huge down vote. I understand down voting for extreme spam and plagiarism etc but just because you don’t like somebody or you don’t like what they say, that should be dealt with with debate in conversation.
