Hola desde el mismo lugar de siempre. (Lemmy).
I'm the dev of Tesseract.
New accounts have badges that show their age if they're between 0 and 30 days old (among other tricks up my sleeve)
As an old, professional drunk, I can anecdotally confirm this.
You hear that piano intro, and who do you think of?
(Me, drunk)
1st thought: I have to pee
2nd thought: I really have to pee.
3rd thought: I love you guys. Also, I have to pee.
Not a shit meme at all ! In fact, I want to convert that to ASCII art and have it as the MOTD when I sudo -i or console in as root.
A+ for the article saying "in {number} states" and actually listing the states. So many articles fail to do that, and it's one of my biggest pet peeves.
Often, they just spin up a disposable account, post, and delete the whole account w/content after they're done. It's annoying AF and incredibly selfish. For a while, it was the same person doing it, though not sure if that's still the case.
Regardless, those people have ruined things for everyone (especially legit new users) and I will not engage with accounts newer than 30 days. Lemm.ee evacuation notwithstanding, I kinda wish other people took a similar stance and maybe these people will knock that off.
In most if not all places, the municipal tap water is perfectly safe (old lead service lines, neglected areas, and occasional local boil-water advisories notwithstanding). Private wells are another matter, but there's often little regulation on those, but there is lots of guidance available.
N. Fowelri requires something like 30 times the standard chlorine dose to kill. In municipal water systems, the most common source is biofilm that builds up in pipes in the water system and more often in the home/customer-side service line. This is especially true for older homes and poorly maintained apartment buildings.
I know it's all the rage right now to shit on the US when and where one can, but our water system isn't the place to do it.
Refs:
I don't really mind it? Disorder/disease: I kinda feel like that's splitting hairs.
ADHD is treatable, and I'm glad it is (otherwise I'd not be functional at all), and there are plenty of diseases you can only treat (versus cure).
I dunno, that's just not a distinction that's ever bothered me.

I guess it also depends on how many days you've configured an account to be considered "new".
Reason being, with lemm.ee shutting down at the end of this month, a lot of accounts are moving to other instances, so you'll probably be inadvertently filtering far more people than you intend.
When things are stable, it's a nice filter option to hide the whack-a-mole trolls who keep popping up, but when a major instance closes shop and/or there's some kind of mass-migration in progress, it can be detrimental.
I'm not proud of this one, but sunk cost fallacy kicked in and had to see it through.
Beehaw recently updated to 0.19.11, which was the change within the last few weeks. Your account is marked as being a bot, and bots accounts aren't allowed to vote as of sometime between Lemmy 0.19.0 and 0.19.11 (Beehaw upgraded from 0.18.4 to 0.19.11).
So unless there's a reason your account needs to be marked as a bot account, you should be able to just go into your profile and uncheck that box.
