This is going to sound specious, but I honestly never stress about downvotes. It tends to even out to the overall tenor of the forum, whether that’s here or Reddit. If I’m always getting downvoted it’s a sign that I’m out of tune with the forum and I should think about whether or not I should hang around.

No, that’s fair enough. I’ve tried to take on a similar attitude. Thankfully the community has made me feel a bit better about what it tends to upvote lately. For a while there I was questioning my place here.
