My initial fear or should I say worry about the whole downvoting thing was the potential of abuse. My worry was that it could be used as a tool of oppression by the big man. I generally avoided downvoting the *downvotables*, treading the path of silence instead. > ***Instert motivational quote about how inactivity in the presence of wrong is the same as contributing to it*** https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/10/03/22/18/right-1712994_960_720.png [pixabay](https://pixabay.com/illustrations/right-wrong-button-thumbs-up-1712994/) A few days ago I decided to get my downvoting game on. @acidyo talks regularly about how it's for the benefit of the community at large and how the use of bidbots does more damage than harm. You can check out the post [here](https://steemit.com/downvotes/@acidyo/another-post-about-downvotes). <center>[![](https://i.imgur.com/aIJL2CP.png)](https://steemit.com/@belemo)</center> I decided to follow the @ocdb downvote trail through steemauto because I believe in the work currently being done by the boys over there. So what have I been downvoting you ask? Well, take a look for yourself. You can find all of that on my [Activities](https://steempeak.com/@belemo/activities) portal on Steempeak. Here are a few that really stand out; [Number 1](https://steempeak.com/@afril/i-come-back-and-hold-your-heart-tight)- a 109 word article that was botted up using Boomerang. This post would have popped up in trending or Hot section and give the community a bad rep. I think we're better than this. --- [Number 2](https://steempeak.com/@king.star/my-favurite-choclate-icecream)- just 77 words about Ice cream? again, it was botted the fuck up but the downvote trail had other ideas --- [Number 3](https://steempeak.com/@aspireeverything/sex-with-strangers-is-good-for-you)- Not going to lie to you, this one really hurt me. I thought I had discovered a hidden jewel in the community and even resteemed and promoted the article on all my social media. Hell, it was so good, I considered paying a bidbot to upvote it but thanks to @hiddenblade, I realised I got scammed. Man I'm still sore about this one. My only regret is that I can't undo resteems, oh well. --- [Number 4](https://steempeak.com/@cryptotrader2017/y66iceypy0s)- Finally, this one basically uploaded an episode of a TV series and botted it the fuck up. The downvote crew came through and brought it back to Earth. <center>[![](https://i.imgur.com/aIJL2CP.png)](https://steemit.com/@belemo)</center> I think the best part about kicking against using bidbots is that it will prompt the bots to go fully into curating quality content, instead of operating as hitmen for hire. I'll keep an eye on my activities and always make sure my downvotes are being used for the progress of the community as a whole. Let's work together to ensure we have a fair playing ground for everyone in the community to thrive. Loving the Newsteem.
