If you are coming from Reddit: YSK that Lemmy and Piefed have no karma. Don't delete your posts. (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Not that I care about it, but mBin definitely does have a lifetime reputation score you can find on someone's profile if you really care to see it
