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.
I’m still new to Lemmy but yeah I’ve noticed that too. They show up anywhere they see stuff they don’t like.
What’s kind of fun is you can basically summon them by saying “Trotsky wouldn’t have been better than Stalin” three times in a mirror.
“Numbers, math, measures, and money were all independently invented my numerous civilizations because they are all usefull things.”
