Are there any "famous" Lemmy users?

You'd get an upvote for the GGI alone from me

You are very mich appreciated as well with your cute owl posts :) <3

Thanks but lately you and other subscribers have been posting a lot too!

@[email protected] Posts daily to [email protected]

You and everyone else who keeps communities alive are all appreciated!

Love you @[email protected], but I spazzed out recently after a full year of pressing too hard for a 'post per day,' and I feel like I dishonored everyone here when I melted down recently. (I'm super-embarrassed)

So I appreciate the mention, but regardless of how I embarrassed the community, I can't aim for one scholarly post per day, anymore. I just can't. Sorry about that, matey.

Now I do plan to keep on posting as the mood seeks me, but I just CAN'T keep the community popular like this, all on my own. Even just a little bit of help would go far.

Ugh, sorry for all the bitching and moaning. :S

Yea, I did, too. I thought there was some kind of joke about not having a database.

Also appears to be a genuinely witty, standup dude.

I just realized right now that it was a user and not a community lol

It's not a whole community?

+1 for user name.

You're gonna feel pretty silly when it's really her and she dates us all.

Damn she's been inactive recently

No wonder I haven't been seeing her around

Not real, isn't it?

I just played a metroidvania called death's door, and in one section you go to a restaurant where the cook is a squid puppeting a dead guy as a disguise. Thought you'd be interested

How are the clarinet lessons going these days?

he also has a habit of replying to people without fully reading what they've written, creating long chains where he blames everyone else for his failings. it's ugly.

He also uses the fact that he is a mod to bully people. He just holds it over the conversation at times to force it to go the way he wants.

I've seen them goad people into arguments and then smugly mute them and tell them they need a timeout lmao

and that right there is the problem. Lemmy is back to Reddit's power-mod problem.

Same.

What is ohs?

*Quick Google

Occupational Health and Safety?

I was talking about signed photos, but we can discuss other options

Why wouldn't you? She's awesome.

"Lemmy infamous" even

Does SMCF post misinformation? I honestly don't know.

It's obviously the real actress. Who else would it be? Do you think someone on the internet would just pick that name to use if it isn't theirs?

She's a top NSA spy. Learnt the ropes while shooting the Barbie movie, which was actually a front for a vast police operation to capture the hobbits. Apparently, they live in Barbieland.

The account doesn't really act like someone pretending to be an actor, and whoever runs it was mainly posting during the SAG strike when she would have had more free time. So I want to believe it's her, because she replied to one of my posts and that was pretty cool.

Of course not, she probably never touched a computer in her life.

Until this thread, I didnt realize so many Lemmy users had an issue with Flying Squid. Perhaps its because I tend to agree with a lot of his takes, but I just find him abrasive at worst. Like...unafraid to not sugarcoat an uncomfortable truth.

Dudes definitely everywhere though.

I've never seen them be out of pocket, just everywhere.

Very much you saying Pot meet kettle

I really don't see a problem with how they interacted. And, as a step father, I agree that it's your job to embarrass your kids some as they grow.

I think they were much more level headed and calm than I would have been had I been at odds with so many people.

But hey, everyone is allowed their own opinions.

I don't see the issue?

Be careful pointing that out on forums they moderate or they'll ban you for "mod harassmenr."

Power users and power mods are cancer.

They're**

Fuck.

it's probably best not to force it. Early in the Reddit migration, frequent posting kept people coming back, but you don't want to turn it into "your" communities. Shifting to quality over quantity is never a bad move either :)

Thank you for your work!

No problem and glad to hear you're still around! You were there with the memes and shitposts when Lemmy needed it most, I think that deserves recognition. Keep taking things at a pace you feel comfortable with, your life comes first.

Tens of thousands of people know who you are. At least your online persona. And generally think good things about you!

(Edit: Misclicked reply) the attitude part is pretty common for Lemmy users: passionate, with strong views enough to migrate away from the mainstream. You are free to dislike Stamets or anyone else. It's still important to understand that nobody's perfect, no need to have one's flaws be used to tank the good accomplishments they've done for the platform.

I've seen at least a couple different users with that, but I wouldn't be able to recall their usernames offhand.

The notice really reminds me of the Facebook chain posts where people would post a declaration saying that facebook couldn't use your data/likeness if you share the post text.

If ai companies are unabashed about scraping and training on copywrited material from litigious companies like the nyt, I really don't get how anyone convinces themselves that anything they append to their comments would stop a scraper.

One time I posted a meme on Blahaj in which someone named [email protected] was attacking a trans person. Ada sent me a message about it saying I was attacking a real trans person. There is no real trans person named Obvious_Troll. I made up that username for the meme. Ada defended a fictional transphobic troll, because they were from Hexbear.

What am I missing here?

I think he said fuck

It's marginally easier to read, and it costs me nothing. I've been typing this way for forty years, and it takes me longer to try to single space after periods. Why should I change? I'm not asking anyone else to do it, but I'm not going to unlearn something that doesn't affect anyone else.

So that's my thing. I'm the double space after periods guy. I'll also argue with you about State's Rights and the Civil War, the correct pronunciation of the word "gif," and why imperial units remain popular despite the "obvious" superiority of metric. I also have some inflammatory opinions about conservativism, but those aren't nearly as controversial as the other ones.

As they should!

You were banned from World News because of transphobic bigotry, as you know.

I've had good and bad interactions with them, so I just think "hey they are flawed (hopefully) human beings that have good days and bad days". Chances are if I treat them (or anyone) kindly, the interaction will be positive.

My goal online is to try and be a wholesome user, although that doesn't always happen. I usually delete my comments when I don't like how I acted with someone else as I want to remind myself to take a kinder approach to Lemmy. There's enough toxicity online.

I think "would Mr. Rodgers approve?"
