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.


Honestly, I’d just create a new account/alias and carry on as normal. Maybe bounce around between a couple accounts on different instances, retiring any and replacing it if it gets too much negative heat.
Could always keep your icon or part of an alias name if you want them to be recognizable, but I wouldn’t bother personally.
Fresh starts are nice.
