Some accounts are deleting their posts after a few downvotes. It’s devastating on communities like c/asklemmy.
Lemmy doesn’t track an account’s karma like reddit. So, all downvotes will be isolated to your post or comment and won’t affect your account—unless you wrote something truly horrible.
Remember lemmy is a community effort. Deleting a post also removes all comments on it. So you are not only robbing the effort others put in, you are actively removing knowledge from the fediverse. Others won’t be able to find it through search and lemmy will seem lonelier than it already is.


You can’t disrespect social proof my guy 😂 some people have their entire realities revolve around how popular they think they are.
Reality check: if you care about your upvotes that much, you need to get laid
Where do I go for that please ?
Urm, where does my friend go for that please I meant to say.
My DMs are open ;)
