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.

            It is absolutely the mods job to teach people how to use this website. You use bans to remove people who post things offtopic, fail to caption images, and use a down vote button incorrectly.

            It’s your job to educate, delete, and ban.

              It is not a mods job to police the use of the downvote button. You’re being absurd. An admin might be responsible for mass manipulation, but mods neither have the tools or the time for that.

              Wait a minute, you just spread misinformation. Should I remove your comments or ban you?

              See how silly that is?

      It would only be misinformation if I actually liked your comment but hit the dislike button. Which I can promise is not the case
