It’s not much work and it’s a good investment it’s also not as bad as you may think because there’s plenty of enjoyment in learning and understanding stuff

I’m simply suggesting new comers to learn how this place works. If people get scared over how a software works it’s even more evidence that we need to help them understand.

Whatever nefarious stuff they’re doing isn’t more valuable than 20 minutes of my real world time.

I’m not sure if you are trolling. 20 minutes is a random number we pick up it probably take even less and 20 minutes is not really much time, we waste more time doing more useless things

Nobody is forcing you but you should really consider investing 20 minutes in learning how lemmy is different. You may think it’s not that serious but look at where popular centralized platforms are heading to, now that bad actors are taking full control the problem cannot be ignored

For anyone new: consider investing 10 minutes to learn how lemmy works and why decentralized and open source is better than proprietary and centralized platforms like reddit.
