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.
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)
Yes, quite a few.
euphoric cat.
edit: app devs and instance admins too sometimes
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.
flying squid, return2ozma, jeffw, and that raging moron Stern is about it for me.
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 I’ve 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.
@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.
I would think that O’Hare and Indianapolis International would have issues with you violating their airspace.
Keep soaring buddy. 💜
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:
It’s 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…
Also I suspect I know @Dave@lemmy.nz IRL, but I’m 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.
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.
@PugJesus wya?
That guy sucks
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.
I noticed you provided zero evidence for this obvious lie, but threatened to block me for calling you on it. Hmm…
Edit: further down they replied “All of pugjesus comments are open for anyone to read.” but failed to provide a single example, a tacit admission that a comment applauding genocide cannot be found, because it doesn’t exist.
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.
They don’t and I know you’re lying intentionally because you also want Trump to be president
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.
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
Yeah, I know that you’re a liar already. I previously reported you for harassment because you’re quite obsessed with spreading lies so it’s not a surprise you’d lie again here
From the river to the sea 🇸🇩 have a shit life zionist
Fuck Zionism and fuck lying fascists
Nice circle jerk boys, y’all can hit the showers now.
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.
Yes. Aside from the friends I’ve made on here, which I rather not disclose, I regularly notice the following usernames:
👋 samesies!
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 … 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
Shocked nobody seems to have brought up ThePicardManuever yet
Shocked nobody seems to have brought up ThePicardManuever yet
And @willya@lemmyf.uk 😏
Him and Stamets are easily the ones who kept me here a year ago
I’ve already blocked military veganism (not the actual name but I don’t want them to accidentally show up) And I’ve noticed satansmaggotycumfart (or something similar to that) a few times
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.
400 active users tops.
I’m not bothering to go dig up a link but it’s definitely a lot more than this
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, they’re 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.
Usually only the conservative Democrats on the politics pages. I just block then after a while.
Most people seem to be looking for positive vibes for the community in here
