With so many contentious issues all the time, it's good to know who has just made an account in the last day or two. It helps me separate who should actually be taken seriously in a thread.

Two days? Talk to me in a month.

It’s great on dodgy posts.

Not sure if spam. Poster account two hours old? Spam.

I appreciate the explanation about the gold robot.

So that's what that is. I've been noticing it but didn't really think much of it.

There should be a separate tag for Lurker. As in an account that has existed for a while but either has few comments/posts or deleted them all.

One of the potential issues (and it’s a Lemmy thing) is that instances can go off line or have software issues or get taken over by CSAM etc The advice is often that it’s easier to set up a new account. So at any one time there’s lots of new accounts that are actually people who’ve been around a long time.
