I don't use Arch, but I still think that Windows is, if not the absolute worst for your machine, then it at least ranks highly in that category:-).
I get spam calls ofc, but I have never once gotten such a text. I have also never donated to a political entity, for precisely this reason. It looks like your number got put onto a list somewhere and people are just passing it around like candy.
I tried 3 times to change it to OpenSesame!123 as the picture instructed, but it kept saying "cannot reuse existing password". I was thinking to wait and hour and try again. After that, I'll give up and use something new. I was thinking either "God", "Love", "password", or "secret" - something really easy for me to remember. :-P

Dukat:
Eventually it will wrap back around to being edgy and cool in an ironic manner:-).
I-I-I would never use a password like this. Excuse me, I have to go now for uh... reasons.
THREE STARS!
Welcome to the Fediverse!
Indeed, people are quite a bit more welcoming here than Reddit - ofc not everywhere, but more so, on average. If it helps, you can block not only individual users communities, but even whole entire instances - the latter by going into your profile, scrolling way down, and adding the instance name to that list. Do what you want, but for me, when TENS of people continue to spam-reply me WEEKS after I STOP responding, that's the signal that they are refusing to control themselves, so I take matters into my own hands and block them. For that reason I blocked hexbear and lemmygrad.ml, and some people block lemmy.ml too but I do enjoy their memes and such and just stay out of their politics community so I have not gone that far for that one. If this describes you, note that this can improve your experience in the Fediverse by perhaps 90% so may be WORTH IT. People from those instances can still reply to your posts and comments, but you will not receive notifications anymore, nor see them while you are logged in:-).
One thing more I wanted to make sure that you and your friends know: DMs are not private. I don't know of any actual tools that makes reading someone's DMs possible, but the signals are out there and not only admins but anyone could, in theory. Probably that won't matter 99% of the time but e.g. sending physical addresses or phone numbers would be easy to scan for across the Fediverse by malicious actors.
Anyway, I hope you feel welcomed! (fwiw, I am not a woman, I just wanted to share these thoughts in case they would be helpful:-)
Let's go Brandon! (have we reclaimed that yet? surely we plan to, I would think? well anyway it works in this highly specific case:-D)
There is no higher irony that I can think of than a pilgrim man-splaining feminism to an actual witch.
Internet level: peaked, it's all downhill from here! :-P
