  • See for example, @nehare@lemmy.world. Account is four hours old, 52 articles posted, zero comments/engagement with the community. Will probably be gone by tomorrow.

    Just the other day a bot showed up (galacticWaffle) that was making long, engaging comments on pretty much every post on .World. No one would have known it was a bot if it hadn’t been posting an impossible number of comments per minute. A lot of us engaged with it until people started following it around calling it out. Felt bad man.

    I think people just need to know that you are a person before they trust you as a new neighbor. The norm lately is for brand new accounts not to be.

    Edit: ten hours later, @nehare has been deleted.



  • I take one of two routes for an evening walk almost every day. It’s never occurred to me to listen to music or anything else while I do.

    I live in a rural area with nice scenery. If you pay attention, it is different every day. Something new is starting to grow/bloom/die back, new birds have arrived or departed, the clouds are different, the air feels different, neighbors sheep are being silly in a different way.

    I go specifically at sunset, so I find that very stimulating and no two sunsets are the same. I think about my day, my plans, goals, etc. It’s peaceful.


  • I am the same, but it can be problematic. I was at a wedding recently and drunkenly stumbled into a group of (white) people having a conversation about gun rights and how if they killed someone in self defense and there was a single person of color (not the word they used) on the jury they would be found guilty of murder.

    I innocently assumed they were normal folks who were just a bit confused and began trying to enlighten them. It was not received well.
