I’m searching for a Lemmy community to ask and discuss deeper societal questions such as about social injustices, greed, capitalism, communism, racism etc. On Reddit there were communities like r/SeriousConversation . Is there any alternative here on Lemmy?
Oh goodie, a brand new account made to ask this question. Why not ask the question here with your real account?
What is a “real account” anyway? I’ve been here for over two years, and this is probably my eighth account. Whenever I hit around 1000 comments, I make a new one - so I’ll be ditching this one soon, too. Which of those would even count as my “real” account?
Lemmy is such a small platform that if I’d stuck with my first account, tons of people would recognize me by now. I don’t want internet fame, and I’d rather make it as hard as possible for any potential stalker to follow me around. Not tying your entire post history to a single username just seems like the smart move - and honestly, it surprises me how often a privacy-minded platform like Lemmy feels hostile toward people who do this.
I often make new accounts when I post something about a different topic. Why is that relevant to you?
To paraphrase the guidelines from another site:
Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don’t create accounts routinely. Lemmy is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to.
IMO creating a new account every time you post something is bad form and pollutes the fediverse
