Like users that are known for a gimmick or that everyone sees alot?
@[email protected] has been a constant presence who seemingly posts at all hours of the day, probably the biggest Lemmy “celebrity” that I can think of.
<3
Also appears to be a genuinely witty, standup dude.
Y’all are going to make me blush.
Yes, and unlike many high volume posters (from the other place), they’re actually really active in the comments sections too!
Had a nice little back-and-forth with them recently about types of tea. Very pleasant person.
I would assume hot earl gray tea came up in that conversation somewhere?
You would be extremely correct.
I’ve had this saved for a while and was trying to think of a good time to use it
They post so much I thought it was a community for a while and not a singular person posting
I just realized right now that it was a user and not a community lol
It’s not a whole community?
@[email protected] obviously
Is that the actual actress? If so, how the fuck did she wind up here?
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?
This is one of my favorite reaction images of all time. Remember when they were called reaction images?
I used to have carefully organized folders so I could accurately represent my face when.
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.
She responded to me a few times. Mostly because I was messing with her. I don’t think it’s really her. But she’s a good sport about the whole thing.
Of course not, she probably never touched a computer in her life.
DBZer0, aka Divide By Zer0. He runs an instance with the same name. He’s one of the old mods on r/piracy and helped lead an exodus over to Lemmy
Awww, thanks. It stands for “Divided by Zer0” btw ;)
Also great contribution to make Lemmy a safer place
TIL what the “DB” stands for, I thought it was for “database” lol
DB0 is the goat
@[email protected] is a meme god.
@[email protected] keeps history alive and the Confederacy in check.
@[email protected] is our resident owl afficionado.
There are many others, of course, but I seem to notice these three a lot in my Subscribed feed.
@[email protected] and @[email protected] both post a shitpile of news articles.
My dear, sweet @[email protected] posts so many science memes it makes my head spin
I’m honored to be listed with those 2 posting machines!
It always means a lot you all take the time to read my posts.
You’d get an upvote for the GGI alone from me
There is so much gold in that show! ❤️
100%. I was there from the original airing of the pilot episode through the last 22 years of multi-year breaks between seasons.
LOL a couple years ago one of my closest friends who happens to be about the furthest away from me of any of them. Shot me a message asking me to guess who they were having lunch with. I had no idea. But it turned out that she had bumped into Lisa hammer and they had been hanging out a bit. They both live up in New York near the Bronx. I may have gotten some signed Triana swag out of the deal LOL
I started during season 1 with my best friend at the time. It took me a bit to get into it, but once I was, I started back from the beginning and then it just got better every season.
Trina episodes are great. The one with the double date is one of the best. The whole set of bathroom scenes are so hilarious!
Yes would have been interesting to see if Tirana’s character got a little more development had Lisa and Doc not split. But she seems to be doing well and is enjoying her work in film out there in New York. So it’s all good.
But yes the rogues gallery on that show was always one of my favorites personally. The Thin White Duke as the sovereign complete with a Klaus Nomi/Iggy pop cameo in the second season finale I think it was? And all the other absurd villains and heroes they just shucked out left and right. Not to mention 21 absurd story arc.
I really hoped the baboon’s heart was king gorilla’s, meaning the return of my favorite villain.
Cigar?
King, I gotta buy my bitch back. Here’s your cigarette.
F_ you, gimme a dollar!
So many great villains. 😆
You are very mich appreciated as well with your cute owl posts :) <3
I like giving you all something special every day! 🦉
Along with those already mentioned, my personal heroes are people who keep communities alive:
@[email protected] posts comics daily to [email protected] and others
@[email protected] keeps [email protected] going
@[email protected] posts regularly about [email protected]
@[email protected] has been killing it on [email protected]
Thanks but lately you and other subscribers have been posting a lot too!
@[email protected] has just completely become the account keeping historical memes and historical illustration communities going, which I very much appreciate.
<3
I love [email protected]
There are a few other animal communities too, like [email protected]
academy award nominee “Margot Robbie” of course!
Are they still posting?
Ugh.
You’re gonna feel pretty silly when it’s really her and she dates us all.
I’m prepared to feel silly and date Margot Robbie
you think she’ll actually date the non-believers? pfft that’s not how faith works
The secret to my immense wealth was simply forwarding an e-mail from Bill Gates to 10 of my friends, quite a few years ago now. I guess most people didn’t think it was real, but as soon as I sent the 10th, Bill got in touch, and the rest is history.
Hey, thats just how Academy Award winner Margot Robbie be.
I would feel pretty silly in that circumstance, true.
I am quite famous in my house. Pretty much everyone here knows me.
I dig it.
How many of yall read this entire thread and were disapointed or glad you didnt find your own name.
It might be egotistical but I was hoping I’d made a mark in Lemmy culture.
Not really because I’m not aiming to be famous on lemmy, that takes effort and I’d hate doing that
I’m just on lemmy to use it like any other social media
I did find my own name and am both disappointed and glad.
Pretty sure me and another Lemmy were the first two men to meet here then fuck. Highly recommend.
Then what?!
I think he said fuck
Oh my!
George Takei??
Well, not to brag, but today i sneezed so loud that a neighbour 2 houes down and across yelled “bless”. So, yeah, kind of famous.
That would be 2√2 or √8 houses.
What am I missing here?
A taco?
Well, yeah. Duh. That goes without saying.
2 units (in this case houses) down and 2 across (a perhaps intentional misinterpretation of the original slightly ambiguous statement). Reasonable to assume down and across are perpendicular directions. Let’s pretend space-time is Euclidean. How far away is the listener from the sneeze? Pythagoras, our faithful companion, guides our understanding…√(2²+2²)=√8=2√2
I see a lot of posts from @[email protected].
They post good memes, insightful comments, moderates a few communities I think.
probably not a real squid though, I don’t think they got internet in the ocean
probably not a real squid though
I am currently visiting some friends I’ve been talking to on a forum for years but have never met. We’ve all been really close despite that. It’s sort of a three-day forum party and it’s been amazing.
Why do I bring this up?
I needed a shirt to wear for the first day so I didn’t have to keep telling people who I was and I found the perfect shirt. (Excuse the crease, I took the picture the day after.)
Edit: are the downvoters disillusioned by the revelation of my false endoskeleton?
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
https://youtu.be/9_XektM-mAw?t=14m18s (starts at about 14:20 if the time stamp doesn’t work)
How are the clarinet lessons going these days?
Fun fact: Squidward Tentacles isn’t a squid. He’s meant to be an octopus.
Checks community’s modlist
I’ve seen them a lot as well, but personally in my interactions, I’ve found them to be abrasive, narrow minded, and eager to take things personally. Lowkey don’t mind that, it’s not the internet if everyone is some polite bland npc.
But add mod powers for many communities and…
and that right there is the problem. Lemmy is back to Reddit’s power-mod problem.
I’ve seen them goad people into arguments and then smugly mute them and tell them they need a timeout lmao
Or arbitrarily ban them all together. My favorite is still baning for tos violation then leaving said violation up
Same.
I have seen their name a lot, and though I think I share similar opinions with them on a lot of things, I find they tend to be more condescending and insulting for my particular preference.
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.
Yeah, I had to ban him… Dude’s got some serious issues.
Where exactly did you have to ban me from? Because I just looked at your post history and I’m not banned in any of the communities where you post.
Strangely, for me being a dude with serious issues, you aren’t worried about posting regularly in the communities I moderate.
I don’t think most people look at the list of moderators before submitting content.
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.
heh, case in point.
I don’t exactly make it a secret that I moderate World News or Lemmy Shitpost, where they have posted multiple times. Including in reply to me. The big red M next to my name makes it kind of hard to miss.
And that still doesn’t tell me where they supposedly banned me from.
I think this post may be an example of that
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 dislike flying squid because of how they interacted on that one post with comic involving double standards on pictures of children
Denying people’s trauma and right to not have those images be shown to others without permission is not a nice thing
No love for @[email protected] ? They’re not always the best troll, but man are they prodigious.
Perhaps it’s just that their username is unforgettable, so you notice it when it appears. Definite Rimjob Steve territory.
Putting their comments aside, I think it’s really impressive how they came up with the perfect four word combination to blue-screen my brain every time.
not just a bad troll, but has some messed up takes on the world.
For example, he’s against OHS. Good on Lemmy for knocking that Idiocy down to -185 or more, but still. No.
What is ohs?
*Quick Google
Occupational Health and Safety?
yep.
One of the only names in this thread I recognize
FlyingSquid(I don’t know on which instance he is, but you see him quite often).
Careful interacting with FlyingSquid. I refused to be drawn into an argument with them and was banned from World News which they moderate.
You were banned from World News because of transphobic bigotry, as you know.
No. You asked a deliberatly transphobic question, to define a REAL women (implying some women are not real). Then banned me because I refused to fall for your trick.
It is impossible to objectively mod your own arguments. You are Judge Judy and executioner.
This would be a lot more believable if you didn’t make a post earlier today suggesting Biden is a pedophile and didn’t have a bunch of deleted antivaxxer posts in the modlogs (and one suggesting the live broadcast of the moon landing was fake).
Whoops.
I thought the charge was being transphobic?
All the other examples listed are highlight faulty logic, not expressing an opinion.
Saying A does not imply B.
In our particular case, saying a governing body should clarifying it’s classification rules to avoid future incidents does not imply hate towards any particular person or group of people.
Sorry, not going to argue with you about this right-wing shit again. Go find someone else to be bigoted around.
You are being overly antagonistic and seem unreasonably attached to labeling me as right wing.
You post too often and inaccurately for conversations like this not to occur again. I’ve already corrected your posts twice today and further interactions could be mistaken for a grudge.
I don’t like blocking people because I’m here to hear a variety of opinions, but it’s probably better for everyone if I do so.
As a parting thought, I’ll leave you with the definition of a bigot and let you reflect.
A person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
same. I don’t remember the details, but he/she is kind of a dick. watch me get banned for this.
I’ve enjoyed my experience on here a lot more after blocking them, lol. I felt like I saw a stupid argument on almost every post, and they were either always the culprit, or continued the argument well past the point of good faith.
A good strategy. I wish I knew it before they banned me from commenting.
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?”
Nice comment
It’s weird because I was just civil and he started attacking me for the most random of things. Most recently he accused me of making up a sick relative of mine. But before he threatened to report me(as a mod of politics) to site wide admins for not removing a comment, that I had already removed.
I think a good policy is to avoid personal attacks. Focus on the subject and avoid swearing.
He’s on Lemmy world
I think their name was “SatansMaggotyCumFart” or something like that?
Yep
They helped me with a DIY question!
Flying squid
but not in a good way.
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.
FlyingSquid believes that your internet browsing history should be made public if you are running for any political position. Worst take of all time.
They also beleive you shouldn’t have a right to privacy and that your trauma does not exist
Holy cannoli squid, don’t do that to your kid.
Rumors of my only having good opinions about everything that everyone should agree with have been greatly exaggerated.
But if I have offended you by being wrong about something, I apologize.
Not offended, more just dumbfounded that someone could honestly not see how that is obviously a terrible idea.
See above, re me not always having good opinions about everything.
I cannot help being severely flawed. It comes with the whole homo sapiens thing.
But good for you not having any opinions most people in a certain community you’re in disagree with. That must be very nice for you.
So what you are saying (through an incredibly thick layer of condescension) is that you know your belief is wrong. And instead of changing your belief, you would rather maintain it, knowing it is wrong. That’s just bizarre.
What about for politicians who think your internet history should be public? ;)
NSFW:
Skip to the good bit:
I’ve gotten into it with them at least once and seen some other questionable takes from them but nothing to a grudge over. They’re just opinionated. It’s fine. People take shit on the internet too seriously.
I’ve never seen them be out of pocket, just everywhere.
Fuck that guy.
Seems like he’s gotten a little better lately.
Its going to sound silly, but I can’t get past how confident he is and how quickly he posts. Noone makes good arguments with that little thought. At least thats my current theory on why he bothers me.
Who knows though maybe I’m projecting.
I also get annoyed at lightning fast responses. And I agree 100%
It takes no time or energy to come up with one answer to a question. I’m fact, I think most humans’ brains are built for snap decisions like that.
But to weigh multiple answers against each other, poking holes in the answers you are most inclined to believe? That takes thought. And if someone is not doing that for you, then odds are, their brain is simply letting them take the discussion less seriously than your brain (or your morality) allows.
So I think you have every right to feel frustrated at such behavior.
No, because of how they interacted on this post
https://lemmy.world/comment/10906808
Their the second person I hate on lemmy, the other one being stamets because they repsonded to me in an abrasive, rude, toxic and above others attitude
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.
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.
I don’t see the issue?
I hear academy award nominated actress margot robbie is here sometimes.
Damn she’s been inactive recently
No wonder I haven’t been seeing her around
She busy making another movie?
Not real, isn’t it?
According to them, it’s really the academy award nominee Margot Robbie. She hasn’t provided any convincing proof. I still believe her tho because I usually like girls of color, but Margot Robbie is my one white girl celebrity crush 😍
She’s never confirmed or denied anything… which sounds exactly like something Margot Robbie would do.
It’s pretty clear it’s tongue in cheek but as far as I know they keep the bit up.
What is “real”?
Well, just as long as we don’t end up stuck with george clooney…the smug bastard.
