Why do people say I have a certain style when asking questions? Is that a bad thing and if so can someone explain how style can be applied to typing? Or how do I fix it. To better the community (lemmy.world)

Maybe I should have said it more properly. How does my "style" of just typing come through? Does it come thru like a written word? I am just looking for a way so I can identify my style and make critques to it instead of the funneled version.

Because you very much ask questions that a young boy between the ages of 10 and 13 would ask, and it shows to anyone who pays attention to user names. I myself have had you tagged with "12 year old" for quite some time.

I thought you couldn't tag anyone or get flairs here?

It's a client feature of Connect (and others). Lemmy itself doesn't provide it, but most client apps have added it. They even added the ability to follow users recently in Connect.
