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 guys have downvotes? Every time I try to downvote a post I got a server error
Don’t some instances deactivate downvotes?
Piefed keeps a record of you attitude, you upvote to downvote ratio, I think I’m around like 80 some percent upvotes for instance. I think they are working on something else in that manner I don’t recall.
Yes. Mine, too. I can’t give or see down votes.
But you don’t usually need down votes. If it’s terribly bad, report it… If not, ignore it…
