Most things in life are not binary, they are on a spectrum. So is capitalism.

Now do socialism 😀

That’s only part of the answer. Without capitalism the infusion wouldn’t even exist. It’s unfettered, unregulated, fundamentalist capitalism that’s the problem.

It seems to me that most valid criticisms are better stated as a polite comment than a numb downvote.

What about people getting pissed over something (presumably, it’s hard to tell) and then going after people’s posts in other communities and rampage-downvoting everything?

Already is, big time

Thanks!

When is a decision expected?

Oh and the “mystery downvoter” post got, as of this moment, a -11. In a new community with 5 subscribers. It basically means a gang of people are just going around and downvoting everything I post. It’s no longer about artistic differences or anything, it’s a vendetta.

And frankly, I am not here for this type of shit. I’ve put a lot of time and effort into creating art and sharing it, including creating new communities. But this gang of self-appointed anonymous vigilantes is really making me reconsider whether it’s all worthwhile.

Sorry about the whining. But since the admin asked how people feel about downvotes, that’s how I feel.

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.

Yeah, I posted this. Somebody or a number of somebodies are mass now downvoting nearly everything I post. Presumably, they have some beef but they should have stated it openly and we could have discussed it. Instead they are just blanket-bombing me.

Frankly, it’s the sort of thing one expects on reddit. But this is supposed to be a better sort of place?
