Dear @innerhive, with all respect, but I can´t see why this post and the other one were that massively downvoted and the rep. of the author completely destroyed.
Should free speech on this platform not be of especially high priority? There was no spam or hate in this post. Violence is always bad, there is no bad or good violence!
Maybe you could offer the author a discussion on Discord to sort things out and advise him/her what to do in order to potentially get removed the downvotes?
We shouldn´t put off users here, but in contrast promote posts with content, regardless what opinions are stated, as long as no cursing, or crimes are done or promoted.
It is kind of unfair to demote those posts and others like this one get almost 50$ in votes. Seems a little off and not easy to understand for newcomers.
