2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Special shoutout to @[email protected] who's on point with the opossum memes.
@[email protected] is quite famous in the Lemmy Startrek Lore, but less active lately probably due to big real-life changes happening, I wish them well.
The big changes are mostly just that I work new hours which are weird for lemmy posting. I've been trying to find a way to get back into it more easily. I do miss posting so much :(
Can't say it's not weird as shit though to think that that I'm even slightly "famous"
And I do appreciate it <3 genuinely
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.
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!
Tens of thousands of people know who you are. At least your online persona. And generally think good things about you!
+1 for @[email protected], they are the primary poster in all of the niche subs I creep.
Shout out to [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]
Hear hear. For better or for worse those opossum memes really resonate with me
I dislike stamets because they responded to me in a toxic, rude, abrasive and above others attitude when I disagreed with them on their stance that spirituality and religon (which are seperate things) should be banned in the future entirely, it was related to start trek discussion
I disagree with that because I beleive people should have freedom to practice their religous beleifs or spiritual beleifs as long as they are not harming others
The harming of others should definitely be dealt with if someone does decide to harm others based on their beleifs but many people practice spiritual or religous beleifs without harming others
(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.
