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.

Because new accounts, like yours, often make a post that’s controversial see a debate, don’t like the way the discussion goes, then delete the post and the account. Wasting everyone’s time, and removing content from Lemmy.

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.

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.

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.

In a pure debate sense, this would be true, even an unpopular or suspicious person is still capable of making a valid point. It should be considered, however, that internet arguments are not formal debates. They can at times use the form and language of them, but most people are not skilled in that kind of formalized arguing, and most people are not arguing in an actual attempt to use the debate to identify stronger vs inconsistent positions (rather than just trying to push people towards ones own ideas or to put down ideas one finds reprehensible).

Now, I dont personally tend to find much point in looking through profiles, it takes too much time for little benefit in my view, but it can sometimes tell you if an account is not worth the time and emotional investment to interact with, or if it has signs that it might not be. The nature of social media is such that there are always far more user’s trying to get your attention, than you have attention to spare. As such, if theres even a notable red-flag that an account isnt worth the time and potential frustration to engage with, it can make pragmatic sense to move on (depending on how much one is willing to put up with, I guess).

From that perspective, telling other people what it was that seemed like a red flag to you lets them consider if that thing makes that account worth their time or not, without them having to find it too, and therefore potentially does those other people a favor. That sounds a bit harsh (at least to me) because plenty of things others might consider suspect, like a new account, cant always be helped (everyone starts off new after all), and being ignored, or having other people call out that thing as a reason they might want to ignore you, is frustrating, but that’s just the nature of giving massive numbers of people the ability to talk to everyone else; most people wont want or have the time to listen to you, and you’re not entitled to their time, however unfair their reason for dismissing you might be.

I’ve never seen anyone use account age as something to go after.

GFY, Jackwad.

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

Go get some therapy from ChatGPT.
