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.
