I don’t think you are a coward. You will likely care about this place more and more and after 5 years of making amazing friendships, earning enough to change your life, and also making a huge investment to buy hive, you’ll be willing to put your neck out too.
Please don’t worry about this too much. I think most of us who do not seek confrontation or try to abuse the reward pool do not really see downvotes, and if they do it’s only once or twice. There seems to be a bully or two but chances are they won’t notice you or bother you too bad. If they do, stay calm and patient and talk to some people and you can likely gain some support that way. If you panic and complain, that’s when they start being cruel.
Most of the people here are decent, regardless of their status here.
Please don’t imagine my neck out there like that! I do not want to be diced and eaten! 😝😝😝
