My last post got a huge number of downzaps and I would like some (brutal, if necessary) advice as to what I was doing wrong. I didn't realize until I saw it in the whole "yesterday's most downzapped" post. Was the idea of me being relatively new here and asking about global ideas for the whole page rubbing people the wrong way?

You didn't do anything wrong. You can't please everyone. And there will always be some idiots with extra sats happy to cowardly give their opinion by simply passively downzapping.

the post only got 50 downzap? I don't think you need to think too much about it.

I don't know how that compares to a normal post. It made it to the top downzapped posts that day, so I assumed that's bad.

No. It's probably just someone trolling. Don't worry about it. Your post was the 2nd ranked post most of the day yesterday, it was a good post.

Not many posts get organic zaps > 20k, so you did all the right things.

Exactly! upzap 22,084, downzap 50, really no need to pay much attention to it. 😂

52 comments are good sign too!

Please forgive my ignorance. I didn't really understand how the system works.

you missed the "A pile of shit sometimes might hide a gem." detail

Thank you for asking my question haha

For context, 50 sats in downzaps is probably just one stacker who was feeling mildly "meh" and wanted to express a thumbs down or something.

As far as I can tell, most people really resonated with your post and I know I enjoyed reading it. Don't feel bad!
