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.
.ml and hexbear are pretty well known for it.
That explains why I don’t see it that much. User experience hugely improves when you block those two
Well, that would certainly match their reputation.
I don’t seem to see it though across most of the FV. Other than various people groaning at various hare-brained “Ask Lemmy”-type questions.
Still better than
