I agree. Frontends could definitely do a better job of hiding downvotes and other negative notifications from newbies. Ecency, for example, even notifies users when someone mutes or ignores them, which can also create negative feelings for new users.
I also believe that if they understand this dynamic and still decide to stay, they can grow into great Hivers, because, like many things in life, Hive is a journey of resilience.
