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.

because no matter how many you block they are starting to make up the majority of the replies/comments you see on threads.

plus there are unhinged folks who will go around harassing you, making up alts, and replying/downvoting you and taking something about your internet persona super seriously and personally.

In that case, it's probably a good idea to get mods involved or create a new account then, I suppose.

except when they are a mod or a mod alt.
