    You’re talking about attitude here, not reputation. Two different things.

    Unfortunately you went into a partisan community a few months ago to argue with them and got heavily downvoted for it. That’s reputation.

      I do this regularly. The „unfortunately“ part is not something I am willing to take ownership of and see it as a weakness of the platform. I also tend to be controversial in .world communities and I detest software that‘s trying to force me to behave in certain ways that are neither transparent, nor neutral in their judgment of my commentary.

      That’s the same for up- and downvote balance. it’s bullshit. be it attitude or reputation.

        I meant “unfortunately” in the specific context of the what’s happening here. I accept that it is somewhat of a problem here, but 9 times out of 10 - people who have been downvoted heavily tend to be trolls and spammers.
