“Average user.” Think Reddit, Facebook, having communities. I’m old enough that I was a first gen internet user. Like slow-ass 56k, and bbs in terminal and Apple with floppy floppies and point/click before Gates did his hoodoo.
Same here. I had used reddit since 2010 and must have had close to a dozen accounts. I didn’t like too much info piling up under any one account. And I used a local city subreddit a lot.
same. it also helped to separate interests. each hobby/interest would get a different account, local stuff another account, maybe an “engage in politics” account or three (so I can log off and not get hateful replies at random hours of the day)
If I stick around I figure I’ll do the same with lemmy. So far local content, angry debate, and niche hobbies haven’t been a ‘problem’.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@beehaw.org
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Use a pseudonym that you don’t use anywhere else and don’t dox yourself in your posts or comments

a good habit is also regularly abandoning/deleting an account and starting from scratch. I went thru 6 reddit accounts over my 13 years there

That’s a great idea
