Downvotes bummed me out, not gonna lie. F.e. I was posting totally fine desire paths to the desire paths community, before it "blew up" because of some blahaj post, (now stuff gets quite a lot of upvotes there) but I always had people downvoting it.

I don't know, just a bummer to have zero interaction but downvotes coming in (although upvotes still outnumbered down votes then too). Pretty clear that it was from people not interested in desire paths, still, if you post into the void it sucks the fun out of it kinda, makes you wonder what you're even doing.

But less worse than some of the negativity snipers, who actually take time of their day to tell you that your post was not up to their standards but you never see them contribute anything positive to the niche.

Those are the worse
