Not my post in the screenshot ... Nice freakout over another's business though. Quality stuff.

I don't care about hiding the downvotes. I simply have no interest in seeing their comments/replies to others or myself.
Jesus. Not even what I thought you were getting at, at all. I was thinking more like Narc-anon.
My issue with this is that a good chunk of the older tabs end up pointing to 404 errors. I wish it were possible to load the version that was cached when I first visitted a given page, like a local Wayback machine( I also wish that were more aggressive about pulling in pages ...).
Then there's Amazon letting vendors reuse product codes so some pages end up pointing to things I know I've never looked at before and would never try to save like so.
Yours is the first mention I've found of children as members in that community, and its an NSFW-allowed community, so I have no idea where you got that notion.
That said, I would block any minor or minor-welcoming instance I became aware of on Lemmy. I'm not here to interact with that level of immaturity; I still regret not leaving facebook the moment they allowed teens(and grand-parents/boomers - yes it was an all-at-once change).
More likely the downvotes come from users you've already blocked or an instance with which yours is not federated. Supposedly, there are also instances that only show local votes as well.
Regardless, you are the only one who has said they didn't see any downvotes, so far.
I mean, if its based on how that person identifies ... Otherwise, I could maybe see it, but still leaning more towards: why not just ask?
Yet another post or comment where I need to block the people who downvoted ...
Pains me that the closest analogue I have experience with is what to call my children besides their names, although thankfully the girls are aged far apart enough that the older one fell into "child" as her preferred nickname from me.
Not "pain" as in pity or disgust for either situation, just discomfort with the proximity of two decidedly distinct situations, although when it comes to whatever the Duggars came up with, I'm judging, and harshly.
Oh, and I think the effort and creativity you've put into this is cute as fuck. Never change.
Going into a community to downvote one of the most wholesome posts that community gets is very much something like a value statement.
I get that a lot of people are looking at the unfiltered "all" feeds for their instances, but damn, it seems like few, if any, communities here are large enough for the outrage some of their content will attract from outsiders.
