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 didn’t consider how Russia/China would feel before commenting on .ml? Absolutely scandalous.
For more context, my comment was making fun of how both fascists and tankies will line people up against a wall and shoot them for being the out group.
The vitriol I experienced lead me to believe that if it wouldn’t have explicitly proved my point for me, they would have threatened to line me up against a wall and shoot me for being the outgroup lmao!
