@redstarfish @bonifartius My personal feeling is that receiving a dislike has a much more negative impact on me than being ignored.
Sure, receiving a negative comments is also hurtful, but Mastodon (and others) have visibility settings so that you may choose who can view your content and thus comment on it. I prefer that approach to twitter broken AI-based "offensive content" tagging.

@bonifartius @redstarfish Which enables blocking, which is a good thing.
Negative comments can be a good thing, if they help you to grow.
However, authors of hostile/hateful comments need to be blocked. You cannot block an anonymous source of downvote that is harassing you.
