I think the leave a comment thing is a legacy idea that comes from the Steem days. Leaving a comment has some merit but the reality is, it doesn't usually work. I actually came across some posts that are really old on Steem where everyone is saying the same stuff.

People have been trying to figure out how to make downvotes a better user experience for a LONGTIME. I think the onus is on us as users to have a better process for managing downvote disputes on chain.

Downvotes are inherently innocuous. Just think about it, this is social media where you can upvote (like) or downvote (dislike) something. People try to blame the reward pool for people freaking out but I think that is a incorrect. The amount people get from posts right now is so small but people still freakout in the same way when rewards were high. There is no clear relationship between rewards and people's behavior after they get downvoted.

Reasonable and humble users have very productive dialogue with me on downvotes, I curate some of these people's posts because they are good stakeholders. Unreasonable people with untamed egos tend to freakout.

Downvoted are 80 percent bad

Is this just an opinion or do you have data to back that up?

I hope you don't see thos comment as an offence 🙏

I don't downvote people for them speaking their mind. I just focus on "abuse" and how that it is defined is heavily impacted by the feedback I get on chain from reasonable users.

I rarely downvote comments. I try to only downvote comments that try to frame a downvote as an attack because what people says matters and that belief is totally unhinged imo. I also downvote comments if the person threatens users with violence or threatens users with some form of abuse.
