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 mean, that isn’t true. r/All is still available even with the shit app. It just takes 5 seconds of inconvenience now.

      I’m not sure but maybe it’s because reddit is aggressively banning or shadow banning accounts.

      Every week spez does something to mess it up. It’s hard to keep track.

        I’ve noticed that too. I have a lurker account but I’ve been largely out of touch with Reddit since 2014 or so.

        That’s why I’m here. No clue what I even did wrong. Wild guess is that it was from editing a post that contained a pastebin link to code I was asking a question about. But whatever the reason, this place is actually kinda nice. I did manage to revive a throwaway Reddit account I once made, so I guess I could go back, but haven’t really felt the need.

      I’ve been off Reddit for awhile; when I looked over the past week it seems much deader.

      Posts are getting much less engagement there than they were for the past few years, imo. Take my opinion with a grain of salt though cause that’s just for the most front page communities I happened to visit.
