I’ve treated Lemmy as a fun, silly blog since I made my account. I love how you can freely post anywhere and as much as you like, unlike on Reddit. I’m also a teen who grew up online with unrestricted internet access and does online school, so I’m a bit addicted to being online. I love how much more interactive the comments feel here, despite it being a smaller platform. I’ve had fun reading and interacting with people. But I think I might delete my account and everything, because people analyzing my behavior and accusing me of things has started to get to me. Most recently, someone accused me of trying to manipulate people because of my age and gender. All I wanted to do was make people feel some fun and giggles. I’m wondering if you’ve ever felt something similar.
Websites aren’t real.
Block the haters. Do what you want.
Shit, nobody gaf what you are, your content has become a c/shitpost staple in less than a month. Fuck people who judge you and keep the content flowing ;)
Just make a new account then
Edit: yoo it’s violet08, you make good content, keep it up
My account will be deleted when the instance no longer exists. No need to do anything myself.
Did you know that reading the replies to what you post and comment is entirely optional? Just be yourself, respect the rules of the community/instance youre on, and fuck everyone else. Fuck everything else. Turn off seeing upvotes and downvotes on posts. Just do what you want. Vote how you want. See what you want.
When you die, you will be the one who dies. Not the haters. Fuck what they think or feel.
Just be.
I personally like your contributions, they’re coming from a novel place compared to the average user here (primarily 30+ dudes in my experience - lots of people that don’t fit that mold too but I feel comfortable saying 30+ dude is probably the default here). I can see folks being suspicious of you given this, but it’s not like you’re going around slipping Venmos in people’s DMs. You just hornypost - OMG it’s almost like young women have a high sex drive sometimes, crazy concept. And there’s been a few of those posts that have made me chuckle.
Welcome home kid. Keep being you, more diversity of users and content is a good thing. Anyone makes you feel like shit about participating here, block their ass. Hell, to a certain extent this holds for me even if you’re a 30+ dude pretending to be a young woman (oldest game on the internet, lol) - so long as you’re just posting for fun and not trying to get anything from anyone else, or put some poor idiot in a compromising position, who really gives a shit?
Will say that the girls over at https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/femcelmemes would probably (?) enjoy your company if you haven’t checked them out yet.
Nah.
I blocked the .ml instance like everyone should and I’ve had a great experience overall.
I felt that way, too. I started enjoying it more again when I started blocking people that I wouldn’t want to interact with, and blocking communities that seem to attract that type of person.
Some people will go way out of their way to be offended. Some people just want to make you feel small. But that’s not most people. Most people are good. You have to separate the wheat from the chaff. If you get stung from time to time just shake it off and don’t become cynical. All the best.
Block those people, they aren’t worth your time. report them too, get the harassers banned
Oof, yikes. 🧡 Maybe switching instance to a more chill place would help?
If people are jumping on you like that, that should a thing your mods can deal with. I don’t know if lemmy.world has the kind of mod team that would go out of their way to protect you from this kinda shit (since they’re a big generalist instance), but if not, you’re likely to get better moderation on a smaller server. Like how we’re on pawb.social and it’s probably pretty good here. Just like, having a place with admins who care. But it might be worth bringing the stuff up to the lemmy.world mod team, because if they can handle it it’s easier than packing up and moving.
(We’re not teen here, but are also Super Online. And also various forms of queer and otherwise marginalized so yeah, I get it.)

nope. its been fine to me.
just ignore those people lol, no need to get offended by that or anything
Just make a new account every year maybe? But I would recommend getting offline. My attention is pretty shit after years of reddit. Lemmy has been better for me mentally since it’s not pumping algorithms
That’s the problem with pseudo-anonymous platforms, since every post is logged into a single account it becomes possible to trace completely unrelated posts on unrelated threads and in this case even communities and instances, even to the point of stalking.
And the more posts you write the more information a hostile actor has to be able to correlate information. It’s really bad for opsec, since there are no reason for two different posts on two completely unrelated threads to be linked together.
Anonymous image boards are usually much better in that regard, unfortunately chans are nazi bars, so I stopped using them years ago, my guess is that they are also difficult to moderate (though usually the mods are nazis themselves).
What I recommend doing is keep using lemmy but delete your account and make a new one from time to time, I usually do that with every website that requires a login anyway, abandon all old accounts, clear all cookies and browser data, (and apps if you use them), turn off my router overnight so I get a new IP and start anew, make a new email and register new accounts to that email.
In all honesty you should probably delete and create new accounts every 6 months to a year or so. Of course I’m lazy so I don’t.
