I’ve noticed something that might be worth keeping in mind as the forum grows. When I shared a post that was critical of a certain project, it seemed to receive a lot of downvotes from people associated with the project.
On general-purpose forums, downvotes can be helpful for filtering out spam or low-effort content. But in a space that’s meant for sharing genuine insights about projects, heavy downvoting of critical perspectives could unintentionally discourage open discussion. In particular, when someone speaks critically about a project, those with a vested interest in keeping its popularity up may be more likely to downvote, not because the content is low quality, but because it challenges their position.
That dynamic could lead to only project supporters feeling comfortable speaking up, which doesn’t serve the goal of balanced, informative conversation. Debate and pushback are healthy and should absolutely happen—I don’t know the perfect solution here, but I thought it was worth flagging as an observation.
Bought into the project and bought coins for staking about a week ago, right before the rocket ship, stoked!
