I don't like downvotes. I post stuff here, if it gets downvoted it can fail and go below the level of visibility that garners it more votes. People will downvote for any reason that comes into their heads. It's almost like random noise but it messes with my post's path to its intended audience.
I don't see what possible motivation I would have to keep posting when that is happening.
You aren't entitled to exposure. Voting the good up and the less good down is the fundamental basis of sites like Lemmy and Reddit. As a content creator/poster it of course hurts when your stuff isnt enjoyed by the community, but its the decision of the users what gets big and what doesnt.
We can't afford to shit on the few posters we have.
Radovic is prolific - they post a tonne of content. If they are saying they don't like the change, listen.
I am also being shat upon in the past few days by anonymous blanket-downvoter(s) and it's not a pleasant feeling. Rather discouraging, too.
