Downvoted are 80 percent bad but one thing that should be implemented on hive is that everyone who is being Downvoted should be able to know and correct their mistakes, also when their mistakes are being corrected the Downvoter should leave the person's blog. Honestly this would encourage better content on hive.
I hope you don't see thos comment as an offence 🙏
One more question, anyone uses 3speak cause I want to ask if it's fast now😊
That doesn’t make much sense, that’s no different then saying you must give reason for upvote too, it’s just the basic function of the chain, how would we implement this? I don’t see any way that would be possible. Like a pop up happens that forces DVer to leave a comment? I just don’t see how that’s practical at all. You can’t have a system like this without downvotes, it has to function like upvote does. If we put extra steps for the most basic function it would be a mess.
On a side note, I hear ur point, it’s just impossible to force this, it can be a general agreed upon rule as a gentlemen’s agreement, but to literally force it as a chain function would be impossible. You can’t have this system without both mirroring same ease of use. Some good users might get caught up with bad actors by mistake just as some bad actors get upvotes and avoid getting punished, it’s just the nature of the design.
Yh I get your point man, lets just hope things get better even in complicated times😇

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 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.
Im happy you actually didn't see this as an offensive comment, i started hiving 3 to four years ago, i was a Digital artist which earned me more than I expected, I used rhat money to pay my school fees and atuff to show you how much it was but on the long run Hive watcher told me I plagiarized on one of my post ao they downvoted, i freaked out as usual but they told me to clear my name i need to post for 30 days without any earnings and yeah i accepted i plagiarized after seeinbthe real artist (but i didn't plagiarize on purpose) so i served the punish and got my name cleared but even aftet that I posted and still got downvoted, went back to hive watchers and they siad they could do anything about it, it took a long while but i moved and to hide my self from who ever was downvoting me u started making gaming content and i hope to get further with it as usual😊
I think the main reason people get downvoted once and start getting downvoted by other users is because most users intuitively understand downvotes are not used enough on HIVE. But there is a lot of social pressure to not downvote so most people reserve downvotes unless someone has already been downvoted. People have a lot of weird theories about downvotes such as "80% of downvotes are bad" 😉 (If you have data to back this up I would be more open to it). If it is just an anecdotal observation that's fine but I do not usually make decisions based on anecdotes.
Either way, I am glad you are here for the right reasons and not just the rewards. I will take that into consideration when curating you because that to me is an important part of being a good stakeholder. 😊
LOL I figured it was you saying something.
Getting downvoted does suck, but we can still be reasonable and get along to try to find a path forward.
