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.

    Personally I think it was less of a problem before the influx of people from reddit, a portion of whom imported their bad behaviors. Several lemmy communities were much nicer prior, and now I don’t participate in them anymore.

    (I am aware of the irony of my using a new account right now, but I was the same name on lemmy.world prior to giving piefed ago)
