My article got downvotedsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit6 years ago (edited)

My last article got downvoted for no apparent reason.

The very first article I published on Steemit got downvoted for a legitimate reason, I presume. I was too aggressive in it, I was attacking other Steemians without a good reason.

I described in this article the possible reasons why I got downvoted the first time.

Possible reasons my article got downvoted this time

I wrote a negative comment about Jesus, yet it was not the comment that got downvoted, and it was not even the author of the comment I was replying to that I received the downvote from. What was downvoted was an unrelated article that just happened to be in the same category.

A Steemian you should follow

You should read this article in which @caladium explains a possible reason articles that do not offend the FAQ are being downvoted.

The first time I wrote about @caladium was in this article, in which I already mentioned that one of their articles was hidden (downvoted) without a good reason. (@caladium's article has been since deleted, or overridden by empty content).

You should also read this article by @caladium and this video article by @lyndsaybowes.

My reaction

I already started powering down my account a couple of days before I became aware of the drama.

I am going to continue to power it down until it is perhaps 5 SP, so that I retain rudimentary voting power.

You should power down yours too and get the fuck out.

I upvoted several of the articles that @caladium published over the last couple of days until my temporary voting power dropped down to about 50%.
