Was It Something I Said.....REALLY?
Funny, I haven't posted in a long while. I was just trying to instead read other people's posts and comment on them if it seemed authentic to do so.
Now that I am able to spend a little more time on Steemit, I wanted to get back into posting every day. I have been doing a lot of projects at the homestead and at our community's school, and just need to download pictures to round out the posts.
So today, I check into Steemit. I first look to see if anyone has commented on my last couple of posts. I like to respond in a timely fashion since I love the interactive aspect to Steemit.
Since I have so few upvotes (not a complaint, just an observation), I am able to see each and every one of my upvoters. If they are new to me, I check out their page and what they have written recently. Another reason why I love Steemit.
On my latest post, I have a downvote. I am not sure why I have a downvote but I do, and it might be from a bot. WTH??
It's the Wrong Message for Steemit
I don't think downvote bots are EVER a good thing. A downvote is something serious. Sure this bot 
What if another newbie was being harassed by this bot? Maybe they would think twice before coming back to this platform?
I think most would agree that it is the diversity that is another benefit to Steemit. I can read about other people from across the globe, telling their story. Places I may never see in my lifetime. Steemit connects.
Thanks for listening. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to comment below. Maybe this downvote is a onetime affair. We will see.
