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 ;)
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.
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.
Just make a new account then
Edit: yoo it’s violet08, you make good content, keep it up
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.
Nah.
I blocked the .ml instance like everyone should and I’ve had a great experience overall.
If Lemmy is a service you’ve enjoyed and you aren’t trying to hurt anyone, why let random jerks ruin it for you and chase you off? Just block them and forget they ever existed. This is the way.
True. Maybe I’m just softer than I thought. But having someone write a whole accusatory paragraph about me when I’ve never even stirred the pot feels pretty bad.
Here’s a little something you can send to that person, and people like them:
Or if you prefer…
Carry on, shitpost soldier. 🫡
They could preferably use images with the same/similar message that aren’t cringe as fuck, like those are.
Lol, fuck that. Embrace the cringe, it’s very liberating. The moment you stop worrying about being cringe as fuck is the moment you’re free to do most anything.
Don’t feel bad about it. He’s basically saying he thinks you’re too cool to actually be real, so you must be fake. Seems like a compliment to me.
I, a very normal lady -like I would not give out identifying info but you’d probably be surprised- reading this post like 👀. I am sure I’m not the only one lol. Some of us have strong ideals about healthier internet browsing and are giving the fediverse a try. We are out there!
This can happen and it feels terrible. On the other hand, I find it quite nice that there were several people there ready to defend you and the hater got downvoted into oblivion. You’re not alone and you’re being loved.
Congrats thats a heck of an achievement. Someone wrote a small paper on you. Thats pretty cool.
I’m sorry, but I’d have to simultaneously laugh and admire the fact that someone took that much time out of their day to analyze what I said and produce a paragraph like that. You’re literally living rent free in their head. Take that as a win and keep on trucking forward. Fuck the haters.
It’s the internet and you’re having fun. Everyone on here is a dog pretending to be a person, but sometimes you’re gonna get random accusations of whatever. Hell sometimes they’re gonna be right
It’s genuinely a useful skill to learn to brush stuff like this off.
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.
I let Chatgpt do an analysis of you. It says you’re:
Thoughtful and reflective. Curious about people and perspectives. Comfortable blending humour with deeper topics. Independent and self taught. Enjoys engaging with social discussion and community.
It also guessed you’re an adult Internet user 20-40.
Did Chatgpt do a better job than your hater?
Chatgpt doesn’t do a better job at anything
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.
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.
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.)

Just block people.
And they can block you too.
There’s a lot of weird people on Lemmy, that’s not a bad thing, it’s normal for online spaces at this stage. But some people will dominate your time if you let them.
Most recently, someone accused me of trying to manipulate people because of my age and gender.
“Online no one knows I’m not a dog”
That type of stuff rarely comes up, so when people just constantly mention it, it gets noticed.
So just stop saying it, and problem solved
Block those people, they aren’t worth your time. report them too, get the harassers banned
Delete your account and create a new one. Problem solved.
But also, two things. First, always be questioning yourself. Those jerks might have a point. But second, jerks are jerks and you shouldn’t listen to them or be bothered by them.
If you can balance those two ideas, you’ll do really well online, and probably in real life too.
The jerks don’t have a point if they say you’re fake and pretending you’re younger than you really are, as OP mentioned elsewhere. There’s no reason to introspect if these are the accusations.
Yeah, that one falls into point 2.
The nuance is being able to tell which comments to reflect on and which ones to toss. Took me years to figure that out.
nope. its been fine to me.
just ignore those people lol, no need to get offended by that or anything
