I tend to abandon all my online accounts from time to time and make new ones for privacy reasons, and IMO everyone should do the same, together with using different names for every website.

Unfortunately the trend is for people using the same accounts that they made when they were 12 for the rest of their lives.

If people were more conscious about their privacy and pseudo-anonymity then I think there would be less bias against new accounts.

I haven’t seen this on lemmy, but on reddit there are whole communities that you can’t post if you don’t have an old account.
