Do you recognise any usernames on Lemmy?
1y 11mon ago by lemmy.blahaj.zone/u/Interstellar_1 in asklemmy
Although Lemmy's userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.
Lemmy's still small enough that if you're even remotely active, you start to recognize just about everybody. I like that, and I kinda miss that about the smaller communities/forums of the old internet.
jots down your username
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Definately gonna follow this guy around Lemmy and make completely innocent remarks, that are in no way insulting or aggressive.
But with Lemmy being so small, and me having said that, he's now going to wonder if I actually AM following him around Lemmy. Or is it really the coincidence of Lemmy being so small.
However I post so often everywhere that it's bound to happen. And he's going to be like "OH MY GOD DUDE!!! IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS!!! STOOOOOP!!!!"
And 5 minutes after posting this I will immediately forget he exists. Thus making him look like a crazy person from my perspective.
See? This is how you troll yourself. Start by having insane thoughts, follow up by acting on them, then forget the whole thing, and be confused by the consequences of your own actions!
And thus, I learn absplutely nothing!
I used to use the personal tag/comment in RES to keep track of peoples real names when they let slip in a post.
It was always fun to run across them in another sub months later and use their name as if I knew them.
Boost has a tag function. Main reason I'm using it, though I mostly just use it to tag tankies.
Start by having insane thoughts, follow up by acting on them, then forget the whole thing, and be confused by the consequences of your own actions!
That is a really spot on description on how I live my life.
Relevant username(?)
I've ran into my sister a few times. Hilariously one time she didn't notice my username and actually quoted my own comment back to me IRL because she thought it was funny.
Quitting Reddit and joining Lemmy certainly feels like moving from a metropolis to a village.
Ooh, I wonder what power-up you're holding?
Shocked nobody seems to have brought up ThePicardManuever yet
Him and Stamets are easily the ones who kept me here a year ago
Shocked nobody seems to have brought up ThePicardManuever yet
And @willya@lemmyf.uk š
I think most of Lemmy knows me by now, and FlyingSquid.
And Stamets. Though, thinking about it I've not seen them about much recently.
He's Riker now.
He really didn't like the end to Discovery.
Haha I'd missed that.
On a side note I thought it ended ok. Not great not terrible I'd probably give it 3.6.
The calypso ending was massively tacked on. Instead of putting the tech in the black hole they should have had to have Discovery itself have to hide with it. Then emotional goodbyes under pressure rather than dragged out.
3.6 of? 5? 10? 69?
3.6 roentgen, not great, not terrible.
JameGumb and Pug Jesus too.
I think the fediverse is the future and I want it to do well and be robust, and also I like to talk a lot so that translates to posting here.
Stamets had a hater, he probably just made a new profile lol
Yeah that dude who said he has narcissism so it's ableism to ban him or something?
you and FlyingSquid yeah. I did calculate one day how much flying squod posts and comments and damn he's active
edit: I guess you can link people like that. TIL
Never heard of you. What did you do?
I do appreciate the poetry posting
I'm so glad! I'm always surprised who reads it.
Yeah I see this person everywhere
One of you, or the furry that I can't remember the name of (so sorry), has to compete to become the new GallowBoob.
Or me. I exist.
EDIT: Kolanki
Omigod I forgot Gallowboob.
I don't but I will add you to my watching list.
Username checks out.
I'll try to do the same haha
flying squid, return2ozma, jeffw, and that raging moron Stern is about it for me.
I think Kolanaki, Zacharia, Margot Robbie (since she's famous already), are the ones I can remember. Maybe making a journal page for keeping track would help.
don't forget Satansmagottycumfart
Yep I did lol, thanks for the addition
Wait, I thought the Margot Robbie account admitted to not being the real person? Lol.
I just play her on TV.
Yeah, but it's funny to keep up the bit
That's exactly what the real Margot Robbie would want you to think!
I briefly created a POTUS account on kbin and posted what I thought were obvious jokes. It got so overwhelmed with people assuming it was real that I got creeped out and immediately abandoned it. I was kinda shocked. People really just kinda...believe whatever the screen says, I guess.
Probably just her lawyers telling her to tone it down a bit.
Perhaps they (her lawyers) got worried about all her completely justified complaints about being snubbed for awards š¤·
Isn't she? That's it, I'm out of Lemmy /s
No shit it's not the real person.
Whoa you found all my alts
FlyingSquid is the only one I recognize and I feel like he's lemmys GallowBoob from reddit.
Has anyone seen academy award nominated actress Margot Robbie lately?
Yes. Aside from the friends I've made on here, which I rather not disclose, I regularly notice the following usernames:
š samesies!
FlyingSquid, BonesoftheMoon, jeffw, and thePicardManeuver are the ones I recognize because I see them so often.
Yes.
I see and reply to u/FlyingSquid a lot.
I also see u/The_Picard_Manoeuvre or some variation. I only remember those two as I saw them a lot when I came here and still do.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world has a distinctive profile picture, and I see them everywhere. Also I suspect I know Dave@lemmy.nz IRL, but I'm not certain.
I know it's bad to put your own picture in your profile, but I had to show you all how majestically I soar.
Keep soaring buddy. š
I would think that O'Hare and Indianapolis International would have issues with you violating their airspace.
I have always wondered how do you do it: How do you fly?
I squirt my way out of the water using my body like a jet and then soar on my fins!
From the link:
A species of oceanic squid can fly more than 30 metres (100 feet) through the air at speeds faster than Usain Bolt if it wants to escape predators, Japanese researchers said Friday.
So, what's chasing you?
From the link:
Itās a squid-eat-squid world down there.
Sounds pretty capitalistic to me.
Do you have a minute to talk about socialism?
Look, I'm all for the squid to control the means of propulsion, but it's hard convincing others...
I'm introducing the theory of an "r-factor" that measures how capitalistic a country is.
r = 0 means pure socialism. Everybody gets the same amount of universal basic income, and earns nothing when they work hard.
r = 1 means pure capitalism. there is no social support programs, and what you earn depends entirely on your labour/wages.
in-between them, there's a linear interpolation.
(i invented that "r-factor" as a thought experiment yesterday, and now i like it.)
i'm for r = 0.5 btw.
Also I suspect I know Dave@lemmy.nz IRL, but Iām not certain.
I guess that's a consequence of telling the same anecdotes on lemmy and to everyone I see.
Everyone knows @Dave@lemmy.nz.
Plenty. In fact it's something I enjoy from here, reminds me of the old internet. It also feels less full of randos than Reddit, although in smaller communities that wasn't a problem.
Honestly the profile pic helps a lot.
I can't see profile pic because voyager doesn't display it.
I was starting to think I was crazy bc I donāt see profile pics anywhere! But I guess itās a Voyager thing
It's a boss cat.
Sure. Like @The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world or @fossilesque@mander.xyz or @Blaze@reddthat.com or @otter@lemmy.ca or @brucethemoose@lemmy.world ... and there definitely are more people that I see regularly and simply cant think of their names right now
Flying squid spends their entire life here as far as I can tell. And just about every major news sub is owned by Jeffw. This place has like 400 active users tops.
https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
48k monthly active users. Votes count as activity, so commenters number is definitely lower
Votes count as activity
Hooray! I'm doing my part as someone who is mainly just a lurker.
I may be off for sure. But it's pretty easy to size up the daily users and subs they run. It really depends on the metric you want to look at. The details are everything.
Jeffw ain't a bot?
Too many news bots here IMHO
Jeffw keeps the Philly sports communities going, theyāre a real person.
It may be both? I'm not sure how the API works but I've thought I've seen him comment a few times in between the rage bait lol.
K O L A N A K
The Picard Maneuver, flying squid, Riker...
Basically anyone who posts to Chevron7 or Ten Forward who has a profile picture... I recognize the pictures more than the names for most.
Personally, I don't want people to remember me, I just want someone to go "hey, I know what your profile is in reference to! Nerd-five!" and be on about our business.
Is 3 O'Brien's room? I swear that dude was just trolling people with the transporter buffers.
He was usually in 3, and in DS9 when Picard catches him before he disembarks the Enterprise, he leaves from 3 and Picard mentions it's O'brien's favorite transporter room.
There may or may not be a few patterns in storage...
no, but i recognise one profile pic.
also, my block list is gigantic.
my block list is gigantic.
Thatās what she said
Am I on the list yet
Jokes aside, do you not feel like the fediverse is more "dead" when you block people? I remember back when Ruqqus was a thing, everyone blocked eachother and then quit because eventually you end up blocking the people who post OCs/memes due to irrelevant comments
I blocked a couple of the prolific meme reposters and my Lemmy experience got a lot better. I don't need to relive Reddit's Greatest Hits.
Why don't people normally have profile pictures here? This is so much easier to recognize in comparison to text names.
Do I have a profile picture? I see no pictures on the app I'm using inside the threads themselves. I think I have one. A lot of people don't customize things at all.
Yes you do :)
I think this is a big part of it. I donāt think any of the apps I use have pfp visible by default (tho the community icon shows) and I donāt really care enough to see if I can turn it on. I know I have one, because I used stable diffusion to make it, but I donāt recall what it looks like because it doesnāt show up on my profile page, and my profile information is intentionally suppressed in the main interface (it would show there if I wanted). I never click into other profiles (other than by accident), so I donāt see them there either.
I legit hardly ever recognize anyone because I donāt pay much attention to names unless itās something weird I want more context for, or a back and forth conversation. I think Reddit trained me to gloss over that.
Iām with Rebekah on this one. Never even thought about a profile pic bc the app I use doesnāt show them.
Former lurker and exclusive mobile user, I'm mildly surprised you guys have profile pictures; but I suppose my investment is low.
I didn't think to add one. BRB.
Edit: And done!
I mean, I love that this style of forum is anonymous. I like judging what people say as the first thing.
After being outted on Reddit years ago, I made a rule to myself. If I ever become known on a platform (or on Reddit, reach 100000 upvotes), I'd delete my account and start over.
Frankly, some of the shit I've said could get me in trouble at work or my real life. So the anonymity is a boon.
If I was counting reddit, this would be my 13th account.
Definitely. There is about a handful of terminally online users who are posting here way too much for way too long, they should probably take a step back and touch some grass, which i mean in the most respectful and understanding way imaginable.
On the other hand, those people are main content providers and their unhealthy behavior is our gain.
Seeing names pop up here that I know are just trolls. It's actually kinda a bummer. Like the Santa maggot guy. Quite certain they are not here to be helpful, so why glorify them? That said, we know Picard is legit so three cheers to them.
SatansMCF is all over the place, they have some good takes, and some awful ones
Like the Santa maggot guy
I kinda like the idea of it being Santa instead of Satan š
i don't think they are a troll, yeah they said nome shit i disagree, but most of time they are fine comments or i agree with them
So, how many people scrolled through this thread looking to see if they were mentioned? š
FlyingSquid, The Picard Maneuver, Ummthatguy, SatansMaggotyCumFart, SPECULATOR, KonalaKoala, SHEEPLE, ParabolicMotion (infamous), El_Burrito, FartsWithAnAccent...
There's more that I recognize but mostly by their avatars and not their names.
There's a handful, yeah. Some folks are prolific posters. Others just have altered text I'm their name, which makes it stand out enough to recall easily.
But generally, it takes extended interactions to remember a user name for long.
^^^ This is the one I recognize. There's just so many times that I see a kind, well thought out, informative comment and it's got southsamurai's name above it
Thank you :)
Who let you escape weedtime....
Shhh, I snuck out while anyone was high
I recogize you
No kidding? That's kinda cool since I recognize your name too. Had a great conversation.
No kidding. However I did sort of forget what the conversation was about.
Me too, tbh. Just remember it being interesting and friendly
Off the top of my head, a lot. @FlyingSquid, @The_Picard_Maneuver, @AngryCommieKender, @captainlezbian, @DragonTypeWyvern, @Cryophilia, @masquenox, @jimmydoreisalefty, @SatansMaggotyCumFart, @BonesOfTheMoon, @1984, @Cryophilia, @Nurse_Robot. Some of them just have very memorable or kick-ass names (Nurse Robot? Why didn't I think of that???), and some of them are unavoidable on the site.
I also usually remember the active conservative and "centrist" specimens on this site, like intensely_human, IsThisAnAI, TubularTittyFrog, SpaceCowboy, Melvin_Ferd. I tend to strongly disagree with them a lot.
Thepickardmaneuver or whatever and Luxefre or something are the only two I can think of. Another one posts a lot and the other made a good argument at some point.
There's a ton more that I recognize when I see their name but can't think of of the top of my head.
There are also few I've blocked that I don't give the pleasure of mentioning their names.
Edit: oh and kolanki(?)
Kolanki, that dude is everywhere!
That one blue furry seems like a nice person
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world is cool AF and fun to make silly comedy bits with in the comment sections.
I see a few of the same people in many threads. There are definitely some āpower usersā here.
I'm always seeing posts and comments from that one guy everybody secretly doesn't like. Man, I hate that guy.
Only the one with the emojis in the name (something with a "K")
KOLONOSKOPY
ISVENITYE. NO KOLONOSKOPY TODAY. CARRY ON
https://lemmy.world/u/The_Picard_Maneuver
Has replied to me mentioning him so he's definitely the most memorable
I recognize a lot of people, both good and bad. When someone stands out I set a note for them in Lemmy, so I can see them more easily. So far in this thread I see otter@lemmy.ca, BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world, and MargotRobbie@lemmy.world - all fun and awesome from my experience.
Sometimes I read a completely wild take and then notice it was @dessalines@lemmy.ml and just give him an upvote
Such a nice gesture to prevent them from stalking you
Oh yeah lol
Depends on four factors (theory):
- You have profile pictures on
- Your App shows the emoji characters in display names (ugh (my reaction has no reflection on the quality of their posts, it just annoys me))
- You reply to the same person more than a few times
- You proactively read usernames as you read comments/posts
The last one is key. I think most people skim right over them, which makes the first three important.
Username jumpscare
Connect lets you disable custom display names otherwise that guy would be on my blocklist. I haven't noticed him once since disabling it but goddamn did I find it annoying before that
Yea I've been meaning to add that to Thunder.
Not really, because I normally don't even look at or register usernames unless I emphatically agree or disagree with a post. I've been doing this for years, first on forums, then on reddit and now here. I don't want to be biased against the content of the message just because I like or dislike a particular poster, so I mostly ignore usernames altogether.
FlyingSquid mostly, and a few others. Not sure if I'd be able to spell all the others properly though, lol
I had to block a few who were spamming too much, but I've since forgotten their usernames.
I actively try not to.
Craftyindividual, pugjesus, adjjj, nanoUFO, all the frequent content posters in the magazines I am interested in. Sometimes I recognize people by name who post less frequently or just by avatar in the sidebar when logging in.
Pugjesus is single handedly keeping alive some of the small communities I really like.
Connect lets you tag people, witch helps with recognition. Both in positive and negative sense. I usually tag people before adding them to my ban list, to see if their behaviour is coherent or a fluke.
Aside from that there's a couple of names that I recall through their frequency of posting or a very specific name, such as Mr cumfart, flying squid, pugjesus and Picard. Otherwise I sometimes recognize names, but not in a way I would recall them.
Pretty often. People are still able to get fun usernames right now so they're more memorable
With the power of federation, anyone can have any username.
True. Imposters are among us.
I only know 4 or so offhand though there's probably more that I'm interacting with on a regular basis that I should commit to memory.
I know Iāve seen you before because your username cracks me up
Thanks, I'll have you know that my chihuahua (mutt) is indeed a force to be reckoned with with his 1 eye and 6 teeth.
Sounds fierce! My beagle chihuahua mix will just make very loud high pitched and squawky noises, so as long as your chihuahua still has hearing mine has a chance in a battle
Yeah, lots of them, but keep forgetting them from time to time... The dude with the huge ass font is the most remarkable to me.
Oh yes, I see the same people! It's like a friendly community!
Always nice to see you on casualconversation@lemm.ee
A small handful. Especially those who post content a lot. But not a lot.
However, when reading comments, I only check usernames when I either strongly agree or disagree. Only outliers are identified; idle chat is visually anonymized by my having a very limited field of view.
I recognize mine. Pops up kind of often.
There's mostly the same handful of people that ever report posts/comments so you quickly start recognising them. There are probably about ~20-30 people from my own instance that I recognise and a few prolific shitposters in the wider lemmyverse. Disabling profile pictures certainly makes it a lot harder to remember profiles though.
Iāve already blocked military veganism (not the actual name but I donāt want them to accidentally show up) And Iāve noticed satansmaggotycumfart (or something similar to that) a few times
I honestly can't figure out if Vegan is trolling or a true believer
Yesss.
flying squid
the cooler mia
max
gandalf der 12
ygthur (or sth)
and a lot of german home instance ones (ranslite, nudel, kĆ¼he, ...)
and probably a few i forgot rn
Yes. Mostly people who I interacted with outside of Lemmy.
I read somewhere those are what some refer to as āfriends.ā Whatever that word means. ;)
A friend is like two friend requests back to back. I think itās some kind of geometry thing.
I specifically refer to a matrix channel used by an instance I'm part of. I wouldn't classify that as friends.
Why did I read this in Dataās voice?
Yeah I think there're a few names I've started to recognise as regulars.
Not sure if they're literally in every thread or if I just have a load of interests cross over with them
Unfortunately, yes. The vast majority of them are from shitty people that are on my block list. Only a few are just prolific posters, like Picard Maneuver and Flying Squid.
testing ā¦ asvinchtresezwat?
Am I supposed to know what that means?
Cool say just list a checking your banlist for me, thanks. Was confused. Vacuum there and it not a what cause I'm asking you, curiously: asvinchtresezwat?
It's from this. I was gonna tell you if I got you to say it again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--BslU44vWU
Nobody on the internet is real.
Nope. But I mean I don't even remember names of people irl, haha
To the surprise of everyone, the Rapture happened yesterday but it didn't quite go as expected.
Mine š
Lemmy is pretty tame bunch. As long as you stick away from political.
I find the conservative moderates posing as Democrats to be quite distasteful.
I recognize maybe 1 or 2. I'm on a lot less than I was when I started so it makes sense.
There was a thread about me (cheese_greater) a long time ago haha. Like they say, if you can't read about yourself...It was pretty...balanced, fr
No, but I miss the days of smaller forums with user recognition. The last time I really recognized a user that wasn't a mass repost bot was a user on the r/stalker (game) sub-reddit by the name of CeliceTheGreat. Every interaction and opinion we ever had were seemingly in solidarity with one another, and it was always a pleasure to encounter him on other subs occasionally. I doubt he was any more Russian than I am (American/Canadian), but I miss you, comrade, and think of you often.
Commenting usernames which I know and Someone else have didn't commented yet.
crul@lemm.ee He is now inactive on Lemmy Sadly
Yea, I see same people all the time, small world or small lemmy idk
Yes, a few.
Even if you see many, it doesn't seem odd to only remember 5 though. I was on Reddit for like 9 years and would only have recognized a handful of usernames.
PugJesus wya?
Why did everyone get so political lmao
Everyone got political because that guy is pro genocide. Its a pretty gross stance. Hard to overlook.
Is he? I wasn't aware of that
I'm not. I'm extremely anti-Israel, but not supporting a Trump presidency makes me pro-genocide in the eyes of accelerationists.
Thank you for explaining.
Most unfortunately. He's otherwise alright if you avoid the political subs.
What I have been doing ^
You say that because you're an accelerationist and pugjesus doesn't want the United States and all its minority groups to burn
The dude is really hurting his cause with his conservative takes. He makes supposed moderates look downright radical.
Not many people would consider this a "moderate" or "conservative" take:
"let us burn down the system with suffering spread around to many millions of people because democrats aren't good enough"
The dude applauds genocide my guy. Its sad that that take is so moderate in the US and indicative of the problem.
I really dont know why youd feel comfortable supporting a poster like that.
Absolutely wild take, but keep acting like anyone to the left of Bill Krystol is Satan.
I want Trump to lose actually, I just so happen to think that our support of Isreal is hurting those odds.
The irony of you comparing liberals to vegans when your little camp seems to like bringing up Biden in any post not related to him that you possibly can.
Thanks for the laugh.
You are putting words in my mouth.
He's handwaving genocide. You are too.
Im blocking you. You are deranged.
All of pugjesus comments are open for anyone to read. You're acting frankly nuts right now given the tone.
I'm not sure asking someone to dive through a power user's comment log is entirely reasonable, but this is also news to me.
Just came by to this thread right now, seems like the mods removed quite a few comments
Nah, he just really wants Gaza to burn and for everyone to let it happen, and thinks anyone not pretending nothing is wrong is a trump supporter
Fuck Zionism and fuck lying fascists
Nice circle jerk boys, y'all can hit the showers now.
Lol
Yeah, especially that bird picture person and the big letter person.
Nope, not quite, or at least I can't remember.
I reckon not everyone carried over their username from the other place; I personally didn't.
Well see EVERYBODY knows The MASTA CHIEF
Yes, quite a few.
Mostly mods because they're the only ones posting content lol
Nope I never pay attention to usernames and images.
I think I'm glad to not be noticed. I tend to comment to either make a joke or express exasperation/self loathing. Being recognized for that would probably be pretty embarrassing.
Sorry for making you my therapist Lemmy lol
If you're a regular on any of the communities I mod, I remember your username. Any new username to me immediately stands out.
Damn I need to post more.
I recognise a lot of people on hexbear since most other instances defederate them. doesn't leave a lot of variety so it has that forum feel.
Definitely. It helps that I tend to stick to the less mainstream lemmy communities (mostly the queer communities on blahaj.zone). It's to a point where it can be rare for me to enter a popular comment section without seeing at least 1 or 2 recognizable usernames.
To be honest, I kind of enjoy the smallness of the platform at times, it reminds me of what the old internet has always been described as to me (but with faster data transfer, and more features)
A few, but I generally don't look at usernames.
The other day I was able to end a comment with ā40 years ago people were literally living in 1984ā and like nobody got the dumb joke I was making.
Yeah. I see a bunch of the same accounts, but thatās probably because theyāre active in the same communities I am. I see a lot more accounts I donāt recognize though.
Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone Yes, but I use microblogging site of the Fediverse pretty often, and recognize more names from there
(Software I'm using supports both Lemmy and Mastodon etc so I'm exposed to both)
What software is that? Sounds nice.
Definitely. Also remember avatars a lot.
Just a few, mostly prominent people from the OpenStreetMap community that I recognize by their username/profile picture.
Sometimes I also tend to see my instance admin sometimes, but it's more rare.
Ickplant moderates and is the main poster for otters@lemmy.world , bats@lemmy.world , opossums@lemmy.world and beavers@lemmy.world which, together are about half my Subscribed feed. BonesOfTheMoon fills my feed with poetry@lemmy.world which is nice.
Yeah a handful of people, but Iām terminally online when Iām between my terminally offline tasks
i haven;t paid attention to someones username unless they brought it up
No itās all the same to me and I donāt even care about the usernames
...
No, somehow the usernames are not very prominent and especially the avatars are so small that I practically don't see them.
I think you might be great to do a podcast. You could explore the pressing issues society faces. The long lasting issues that society has faced for generations. Healthcare, religion, education, senior care abuse by nursing homes, inappropriate actions of priests with little boys, the shrinking availability for citizens not corporations to buy houses, parenting styles evolving over time. I could go on, but you get the idea.
First you start the show, and discuss the topic in a more rational logic and fact based side, and then rediscuss everything from your more sensitive, vunerable, emotional side.
The whole hook of the show could revolve around the duality of mankind, and how every issue has different ways to look at it. Different sides, ya' know? And even though all of it is your opinion, your different sides may often differ, and clash.
It would need a website though. How about www.Jennas-Side.com
:D
OK, I really didn't get the joke so I had to ask ChatGTP and it explained the joke to me. Not bad, and unexpected.
That may be the best use for ai I've seen!
For those who don't get the joke, it's a play at the concept of the "both sides" argument of political and international relations, and the website is a pun on genocide. The joke being that by pretending to see everything through an objective lens, you're allowing the aggressors to commit genocide.
I already have both, a website and a podcast. In this episode https://jeena.net/pods/18 for example I talk with a ex Jehovas Vittnesses about how religion destroyed her life, very emotional episode.
Or in this one https://jeena.net/pods/21 I went to Palestine to speak to a Palestinian family which house has been bulldozed by the IDF 3 times already.
Can't tell if the joke went right by you without notice, or if you're just not a fan of dark wordplay.
Definatelly the first one. I realized that the comment is somehow very on point with the topics, I even showed it to my spouse and she was also confused. But I didn't realize it was a joke. I guess I need to read it a couple of times.
That's true. I recognise you though, probably because you self-host the instance
But thanks to your post I now made the avatars and usernames bigger and thus more prominent, perhaps I'll recognize more people like that!
I've had some really bad brain fog for most of the year, so while I'm generally not able to recall them on the spot, I certainly do see quite a few that makes me go "Oh hey I remember that one!".
I like that the Threadiverse is still kinda at the size that this still happens quite a bit.
I'd be very surprised if I were recognized since I've been quite bad about contributing to the conversation, but I still enjoy things around here nonetheless!
Not really, but some pfps maybe
My username relatives, including Mossy Feathers
I don't check usernames š¤·
Is it good to be engaged enough to be recognised in Lemmy? I don't know if the big players around here are just spending their entire day on Lemmy as many people on Redditors do. There is a small part of me that too wishes to be recognized as an active member in this community but I don't want it at the expense of my real life.
Oh my, a real who's who, I recognize most of the names mentioned too. But let's be fair, they post stuff while many, myself included, just comment.
Too bad I just use my game name for this, haha
A few mods, a few hard online posters, and I think like 2 or 3 devs of various projects including lemmy lol.
euphoric cat.
edit: app devs and instance admins too sometimes
it used to be andromidusgalactus but they stopped posting a month ago
Yes, I recognize a few. I can't name them from the top of my head but I always remember them when I see them.
Bonesofthemoon posts sovcit mockery
I have never recognised usernames.
I never do but one I started noticing is flying squid user but most of the time I don't look at the username unless I want to see their responses.
The profile pictures are super tiny and I only sometimes read the names. So, for the most part I only check the post/comment and decide on a vote or comment action.
No.
Some of the names people have already mentioned and a couple of my instance mates.
Nope
@Blaze@reddthat.com and @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al I seem to run into the most and they both have 4+ different instances too.
stopthatgirl7 and reddfugee are two I remember seeing a few times.
The only one I recognize so far is Jeffw
Trying to get drawkbox over here.
