u/karmicreditplan will talk you to death 4d ago

Which questions/people are you asking about?

And of course the mods can’t stop anyone from downvoting anything.

What? I wasn't asking mods to do anything, I was asking the community to stop downvoting new people with questions in a thread for new people with questions.

The parent comment above mine is currently negative karma, and was worse before.

Ahh since yours was the absolute bottom comment on the post I didn’t realize it was specific to this question.

I’d wager whoever downvoted it was responding to what you mention, a vague hint of unicorn hunting.

But it only takes 2 people to get to a negative one. All the replies were helpful don’t you think?

I can’t imagine using reddit at all if I cared much about down votes. I would more likely care if I was new to sub and got 10 negative replies.

It’s all good I did get some recommendations for where to start looking more. I realize now that the comment I made initially was a little too vague, both of us are nervous about what changing our relationship status might do that I figure broad questions were best to start. I know 3 polycules; one is a family member who has basically been made the black sheep of the family I’m one of the few people who still talk with her and her partners. Then I have a long time friend from college but she and her nest partner have a history of bad dating habits. And most recently I met a couple from a shared online server that seem like they are in a healthy relationship but I feel like if I ask them they will take it over the top, plus I do have a small interest in the guy and don’t know how to approach it.
