it’s a heuristic. evaluating every one-day-old account on its own merits is a lot of mental load, so people take shortcuts. if you’re an active poster, people can look back through your comment history to get context on your perspective. it’s hard to do that with someone using a brand-new account. in a month, nobody will be saying that to you any more.
Comment on Why do some people make such a big deal over ages of someone's account on here?

But not everyone is like that and it is quite dumb to assume everyone is like that like I have seen others do. Someone some other person doesn't like, then they just say "oh that's a bot, um, ban them because their account is new."
You saw this shit all the time on Reddit. I mean the behavior can be noticeable from a user who just joined and wants to contribute and talk to those just coming back to repeat everything that got them removed in the first place.

You mentioned in a comment that you have another account. So you aren’t new here, your account is. Not sure why you’re pretending to be new? This is what gives people trust issues.
