Individual comments effectively get silenced (or at least buried) by downvoting, changing the account you post with won't change that. You can get an account shadowbanned however which does reduce the visibility of all its comments but that's a different issue, I don't think you can trigger a shadowban automatically by downvotes alone (or maybe only in extreme cases).
