Watch for this behavior and you will see it often.
If a Lemmy user can call out the age of an account he or she will use that as a way to dismiss and degrade the post that he or she does not agree with.

Y’all would enjoy Lemmy a lot more if you just focused on the post and stopped feeling compelled to rummage through someone’s post history.

Sure, if that person has extreme political views, is a Nazi, or is astroturfing then maybe you have cause but clicking every single profile to find dirt to make an argument showcases your poor debate skills.

    No, it’s because if someone makes an account for just one post, they’re most likely trolling, banned from the community on their main account, or just have such consistently terrible takes that they always get heavily down oted and they care too much what people on social media think.

    If you stick to the same account and keep posting, people will block you, which gradually increases the amount of people who see your post and agree with it.

    If you keep making new accounts to complain about shit, the same people are going to keep down oting you, because they can’t block you.

    It’s really not complicated, but a very very small amount of people just can never understand it.

    Pretty sure you’ve posted this same hot take with other brand new accounts, which were then deleted within 24 hours.

    That is the behavior we don’t like.

    I’ve already given you a long and thoughtful answer to this on your other account, so I’ll leave it at that.

    Have the courage to keep an account more than a day, bro. It builds community.

    I spent the first 168 hours on Lemmy understanding it, finding communities I liked and getting the vibe of the place And within those hours I learned that accounts younger than mine with shower thoughts weeks of showers long, are most often not a building block of a community, but are rather intent on irritating, disrupting or just being way out there. Often actively being an unwelcomed part of it all.

    Everything is always better when people act like people towards people. And you would never need to create extra accounts to communicate with people if you acted like a decent person towards others.

    So more often than not, if you are new and you already know everything, you are a walking red flag that will have to prove you are not. Because if something is too good to be true, it most likely is.

    You mean garbage like this with a brand new account?

    And you wonder why we note it’s with a brand new account? Perhaps because that’s a sign you’re a disingenuous sophist?

    What you posted isn’t a shower thought, it’s a whiny complaint.

    New account making a suspicious post is not a definite proof that they’re a troll but I can win money all day betting that they are.

    This is not a shower thought. In fact, this opinion piece isn’t even a single thought. I’m not sure why some posts on this sub routinely have nothing to do with showers or thoughts, but I’m sick of it. I didn’t sub here for personal opinions on politics of how Lemmy operates. I would enjoy Lemmy a lot more if posters kept to the community’s subject area.

    I disagree, plus I don’t like the nkotb emoji, so I’m downvoting.
    And I’m telling my 2 friends here.
