One of the main things I seem to notice on the Fediverse is that we don’t have enough active users when it comes to answering questions as well as commenting.

    Does it bother you to get downvotes? They’re just numbers on a website, they don’t really mean squat. Say your piece. Ignore the numbers.

      @spacecowboy Yeah they are just numbers on a screen, I know when I go to comments if a comment has more upvotes than down I know it is most likely a good source / answer compared to the ones with hundreds of downvotes.

        I try not to focus on them at all because it gives you a preconceived opinion on the comment. That doesn’t seem very helpful in a discussion based community.

          That’s fair enough, especially if the Fediverse grow to the point of Social Media becoming non-existent (Other Than as a Social Network such as the Fediverse is)
