I mainly recognize PugJesus, SatansMagottyCumFart and like the other two or three lithuanians on here.
I recognise your mum
Are they called MrsShankles?
Nah, she got divorced, but the kids kept the old name
I specifically use this platform to fly under the radar, if anyone remembers me. I apologize. Im usually on the toilet waxing bullshit till my leg goes numb.
I recognize a decent number of people, lots of famous frequent posters have already been mentioned but I also tend to remember trolls and people with bad takes.
I don't really pay attention to user names when I read, but there are a few frequent posters that I've recognized
I don't really pay attention. I come here to quip. It's like a mental purge for me.
The big ones I recognize:
There's a few more that I can't think of off the top of my head. It's nice that the community is small enough to recognize people so often.
Who was that one guy obsessively posting after he read "A Brave New World"?
Never had anyone recognize me (I post and comment sparsely and in short bursts) but I recognize a lot of other names. Most of which I'm sure the average Lemmy user recognizes.
I came here to be misremembered.
I generally don't recognize usernames and don't look at them too much
There's the guy who uses thorns (who I have tagged as Nigel þornberry)
There's maybe a half-dozen frequent posters who I'm genuinely not sure if they're masterful trolls, some kind of AI training bots, or just really need to go touch grass (preferably on their way to a therapist's office.)
There's one dude whose username just happened to stick out to me after having a random conversation or two with him and seeing him being a generally pretty decent dude around Lemmy, I tagged him "this guy seems cool" at some point, and at some point it occurred to me that he might appreciate knowing that, so I shot him a message, and sure enough he did. I now consider him to be a pretty good friend, which is a new experience for me, I've never really been one to have online friends, I (somehow) do pretty well at making friends in meatspace and have never really felt a need to seek out an online friendship.
There's a handful of people who have said some incredibly dumb shit that I've tagged (for example one dude who I tagged "Tankie, down vote and ignore" although the last few times I've seen him pop up it seems like he may have mellowed out a bit, so good for him)
I've the thorn guy tagged as "uses thorns" and am now shamed about my lack of creativity.
I had someone else tagged as "second guy to use thorns" but they're a lot less consistent about it.
Nigel þornberry
Made me laugh :D
I feel like I recognise maybe 80% of the posters I see...
I always recognize my admin. *waves
I tag users occasionally when they stand out to me, so I recognize those people but often forget why I tagged them as such lol
Do you get occasional tag reset on app update or is it only me?
Because of this I don't bother anymore.
Not that I've ever noticed. What app do you use? I use summit on Android
Voyager
I didn't know this was a thing.
ROFL! I've always wondered if anyone had tagged me. Now I know!
I mostly only tag users whom I read as reasonable enough to have a discussion with initially, but I’ve learned it doesn’t go well. And the booooooomer tag is for the prolific poster of boomer-ass memes.
(The combination of green and a positive vote count makes it look like I might be down for Islamophobia, but I just wanted a different color and I feel weird interacting with someone’s comments/posts after I’ve tagged them, because I’ve essentially prejudiced myself against them, so if they’re positive when I tag them, they’ll stay that way)
I hate that I instantly knew who you were talking about the moment you said boomer memes.
I color my own tags based on an escalating system of good/bad impressions - so someone who posted questionable opinions or insulted other commenters once or twice gets a dull gray, a repeat offender gets bumped up to yellow, and someone who's shown a long-term pattern of toxic behavior gets the dreaded red tag. I save blocks for people who contribute absolutely nothing positive to the Fediverse - I think I have a few hundred tagged users but less than a dozen blocks.
Similarly, good posters go from white to blue to green, though since Voyager keeps track of and displays lifetime vote totals I only tend to tag the truly memorable posters.
That is such a cool feature. I should use this!
Its hilarious seeing the same "absolutely insane" tag that I have used.
There's a few big names, I usually find it interesting seeing which instances people are on and whether they carry some kind of theme. The people in the Star Trek instance, forget the name, usually have pretty good memes for example
So far, nobody's mentioned recognizing me, despite the fact that I feel like I comment a lot (an unhealthy amount, really).
I'm not sure whether to feel insulted or relieved.
I recognize your name and have no negative memories of your comments
I only tend to recognize the users I have assigned custom tags to. Usually to mark them as trolls or suspected bots, but sometimes just because they told a funny story or are enthusiastic about something specific.
Oh man, lots. Ada, Kolanki, WorldsDumbestMan, SatansMaggottyCumFart, Neidu, LadyButterfly, CaptainLezbian, CptAggravated, that one guy with the Chinese symbols whose mom is a piece of work, Stamets when he's posting, Sunshine, Blaze, DistantSounds, Sodalite - the list goes on and on.
I may spend too much time here, lol.
I use voyager and don’t see display names, but I’m willing to bet the person with a Chinese display name and shitty parents is @DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works
Clearly I also spend too much time on here lol
I feel like I often recognize others, but I obviously can't tell who I don't recognize 🤷
I've been here for 2 years and I only recognize violet08 and the_Picard_maneuver. Oh and Nicole, the girl with glasses who wanted me
I recognize kolanki (I doubt I'm spelling it correctly, but the person with the large blue name), pugjesus, the picard maneuver, violet08, that fucking cm0002 with the 5,000 alt accounts, and that's about it.
I don't recognise many, but there are a few that pop up regularly like PugJesus, Picard Maneuver and K O L O N A K I.
I miss flying squid. Hope he's doing well
Huh, it's been a minute since I've seen KOLONAKI around
What happened to flying squid? They had some health problems and then talked about moving and then disappeared.
I think this place wasn't too healthy for them mentally, and I'm fairly certain after moving they just bowed out of coming back and focused on rebuilding their life in a new country, or at least I hope they did. Lemmy also skews heavily US American (less so than reddit but still largely) and so maybe they just wanted to disconnect from things here in the USA. If I was in a new place I think I'd spend more time trying to get my bearings locally than reading endless news about the place I just left.
If you check in lemvotes you can see some activity from time to time, so I don't think they are dead. It could be a federation issue but they at least appear to have logged in and had some vote activities in December.
Regardless they did not have a healthy relationship with Lemmy. They were averaging something on the order of 15 comments, per hour, per day. That's a comment every 4 minutes, all day, every day, for years.
Idk. We should still probably build something to remember them by. Or to piss on, depending on how you viewed them. They were very political and were doing a lot of "pre blaming" for the, at the time, election which hadn't happened yet. I think it may have broken them.
We used to see a MargotRobbie but they stopped. Dunno why. They committed to the bit, though.
Ladybutterfly or something like that
That's me! BTW do you know where I could hire a cult leader? I'm looking for one atm
I could recognise a violet or PugJesus post without nametags! I enjoy both posters' content although violet's is a bit concerning and less educational, lol. Oh, and the guy who only posts anti-Western narratives memes, he always gets downvoted but he keeps at it like Marx's strongest soldier 😅. There was also this maniac called Satan'sSomethingSomething I just had to block on two different accounts. Finally, there are several posters I have personally tagged cause I regularly see eye to eye with them, or at least I consider reasonable, prosocial and capable of having a normal conversation (flaxvert, Maeve, VikingHippie, among others). 👍
If they comment/post a lot and use an avatar or have emojis in their display name, I probably recognize them.
Very few I recognize by name alone.
