Just venting here. It’s a very low traffic community for a sports team, with announcements from that team’s own website posted to the community. And people have to come in and vote it down. 😐

      Downvotes change the visibility of posts. If I’m subscribed to a community and non-subscribers are making it less likely that I’ll see the very relevant post to the community I’m subscribed to, that’s not meaningless, it’s censorship.

    I just don’t get some people, making a post to complain about downvotes.

    Maybe post things people want to read?

    And yes, know that this has reached me, the community will be blocked, as will this user.

      They posted something that subscribers to the community would want to see and a bunch of other thought less people are try to make it less visible to the subscribers.

      Downvotes are meaningful to visibility.
