When I first started here, I got very frustrated but the same thing. A wise person (periwinkletweet) actually reminded me it's in the rules.. Ignore the down votes.
Do you know what I've learned about people here in reddit, but really on these help subs?
-if you ask for help, you get down voted.
- if you OFFER help, you get down voted.
-if you THANK people for helping, you get down voted.
-if you even post. You get down voted 😅
Nearly every day I get notices "your post got x up votes" only to find it significantly lower than x. First time, I thought reddit was bugged. Now I realize, that people are just salty.
People get mad because you are getting helped. People get mad because the person offering isn't helping them. People get mad because they don't have anyone to thank. People get mad because you posted.🤷🏽♀️
So remember a downvote is... what it is. It's unfortunately someone who hasn't been helped, for whatever reason, and they are mad. Hopefully they learn that the best way to get helped is simply put themselves in a better position to be assisted. (build karma authentically!)
Don't take it to heart. It's not about you. This, I promise. 🫶🏽 I'm very glad you got helped. This is an amazing place, even with a salt mine hiding nearby. 😉
