Is honesty best online?

I’m always honest and sometimes I’m rejected for being honest. I know others are lying just to talk to people. Isn’t this the internet? Shouldn’t we avoid judging the few people who are actually willing to be honest? It’s like people would rather talk to liars that say what they want to hear than to people who tell the truth. I avoid anyone who comes across as fake. And I wouldn’t even enjoy a conversation where I pretended to be something I’m not.
