i dont know, i dont think so (without a user asking them to?). i think it would be less trouble for them to just create new accounts on their own. same result, but nobody can claim that their deleted account was restored. i think restoring deleted accounts could lead to legal trouble?

thats another thing. no internet points, so no bots to farm them. upvotes really only indicate the quality of the post or comment that receives the upvotes. no way to use the total number of points to claim validity of your posts or to brag with them.
that being said, at one point we will need to figure out a way to identify and prevent bots that just post propaganda. while we wont have the problem of karmawhoring bots, they dont have the need to karmawhore and can try to spread their propaganda immediately.
PSA: delete your account!
being banned is funny and stuff, but reddit can, has and will unban accounts to inflate their user count for their investors.
delete every account, post and comment if you can.
dont get banned, just delete your account. reddit is notorious in unbanning people to inflate their user count to investors.
from my experiece: this style of displaying content is only ass if you visit the website for the first time and have a huge backlog of content.
ongoing comics with regular updates will mostly be frequented by visitors that already know all strips and just want to read the most recent one.
BUT (big but!): the fact that the navigation buttons for each comic say "previous" and "next" but will navigate to the next and previous chapter tells me, that the layout is not used as inteded. so... valid criticism!
Another comment in this thread you might already have seen by now:

And there were other instances mentioned in other threads as well.
Some problems are not tied to a platform, but to their users. Power hungry people try to grab power where they can. If they can't be mod on reddit, they move to Lemmy. Here they can try to grow "their" space. If a topic already exists on one instance, they can move to another and shape the narrative and enforce rules how they like.
if that is your primary motivation, i have bad news for you... you might have to move on. here you will get bans for downvoting "the wrong" comment or post as well.
ok sorry :(
i am just worried that the idea of karma on lemmy starts to gain traction :D
