@[email protected] has just completely become the account keeping historical memes and historical illustration communities going, which I very much appreciate.
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.
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.
Don't worry about it fam. Lemmy isn't like a news broadcast, it's more like a family dinner, it's OK to go off on a rant every once in a while. And there's no obligation to post every day, just post when you feel like it and where you feel like it. The fact is, you posted quality content a lot for a long time, and that's commendable.
@[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.
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.
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 😍
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
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.
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'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.
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.
It's funny to see you comment here because I was literally coming to this thread to mention that I see you in seemingly every comment chain and thus consider you "Lemmy-famous."
I liked it. That being said, there weren’t a lot of options in the 90s. It was 4pm on a Tuesday and your homework was done and you wanted to watch TV, there were like three options at best, unless you wanted to see Judge Judy or Dr. Phil, which I did not.
because we all wanted to have one of those cool rings. i wanted weend so i could tornado my ass all over the place instead of having to ride my bike with no brakes.
I really hope Lemmy eventually gets significant enough attention that Whang! does a video about stuff that happens here, so I can hear him say your screen name out loud.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
Is it just one person? I tend to not read usernames. I just find that notice amusing as the only result it will have is that some ai-generated comments will one day start to have that notice in them as well.
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.
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.
My only controversial opinion is that one must always avoid "/s" indicators, as those are an instant killer of comedy. If an occasional unit of sarcasm flies over the head of another, drawing downvotes and/or unhappiness, it's a price we must endure as a society.
Do either one of you go on long rambling on-topic stories, only to talk about the undertaker throwing mankind off the hell in a cell in nineteen ninety eight?
kol-something? I think it's kolanaki but I never get it right. They're definitely eye-catching in the web UI, even if I don't see them all that often. I kinda get the feeling I misunderstand them a lot.
Clearly me. I am a tiny little youtuber and streamer who wants this place to succeed, so I lurk, I post and don't have a presence on the big platforms.
So if I ever make it big, I can help drive users here. You just wait! It'll happen any day now!
P.S. Mizu's poop post is really nice study in how the content prevails in fediverse. The original post on lemmy.world throws an error, kbin.social that is linked in r/[email protected] no longer works, but I found a copy on szmer.info
So I wasn't into it originally, but watching it again as an adult I'm kinda fond of TNG. Cast is amazing, stories are (mostly) great. But I just love how mature and optimistic it is, for the most part.
Seeing difficult questions of morality and strife - seeing people consistently confront those situations with incredible ethics, empathy, and like, well, ADULTS...it's super-refreshing.
And I like the parts of that which shone through into Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise (in that order, at least what I saw of them. I sorta got into Voyager.
Watching Picard, a lot of the characters are there, but most of what I seem to like about TNG isn't. Plus a bunch of the plot is just nonsense and crappily written. I really don't like it.
I tried watching some of DIS here and there but it fucking sucks (IMO). SNW still seems to have too much melodrama and stuff I just don't like. Maybe if I wasn't trying to compare it to TNG or VOY subconsciously, I would like it more; who knows.
Orville is alright.
Everyone says Lower Decks is really great, and I love Futurama and Venture Bros and Rick and Morty and etc. It probably IS great. But I don't really want throwaways about how phasers can't melt steel beams and fart jokes in Trek.
TNG is my favorite too. I think Lower Decks really walks the fine line of being a little bit silly but still being serious enough to feel like core trek.
No start with "The Next Generation", or "Star Trek: The Original Series" if you like older shows
They are better, then move on to lower decks if you like comedy in a star trek setting then strange new worlds
I'd also recommend star trek prodigy, it can be watched as a family
Star trek picard season 1 and 3 are okay but depart from general star trek quality, season 2 is an absolute clusterfuck of awfulness that should be avoided and I have made my own headcannon that it was just another ones of q's games where they messed with reality creating an awful fever dream of reality and bullshitted about themself dying just to mess with picard again just to fix that godawful season in my mind
The thread you linked shows Flying Squid being quite reasonable while being unfairly accused of being a pedophile for having photos of their newborn child. It's not a great example of them being unlikeable.
I understand the position in opposition to the squid's (very common) opinion that it's OK to have a nude photo of your baby which might be playfully and innocently used to embarass them as an adult. At no point in that thread did the squid take a position in favor of creating trauma for anyone. I would imagine, like most parents, if their daughter made it clear to them that showing the photo was a traumatic experience for them, the squid would never show it.
Also, the squid was never mean or unfair in that thread. It's just not a good example of them being unlikeable, in my opinion. If anything, their demeanor while being unfairly called a pedophile only makes them more likeable.
Yes, I know you hate me because I have a photo of my daughter naked when she was a newborn, which makes me a pedophile. That was established by multiple people in that thread.
I see @[email protected] constantly, and it trips me up every time because when I met my wife online twelve years ago, her username was MyOpinionIs. Not sure that they're famous, though..
I think it's the blue checkmark that always draws my eyes.
Maybe its just me, but I see @[email protected] moon a lot. They post sovereign citizen stuff, which is what i see regularly, but they are also a pretty good poet.
I suspect a lot of the prolific posters are just cross posting curated content from reddit (which is fine). I don't think Lemmy is big enough for famous people yet. Alternatively:
Lemmy has no famous people. Lemmy needs to famous people.
Yeah Asia is fucked in that way but I mean we expect better from Western societies. Aim high etc.
oh go fuck yourself you racist piece of shit. what the actual fuck do you think you're saying? "expect better"??? fucking WHY? and who the fuck is WE???!?
I am saying that celebrity worship, or more generally, worship of people who one deems “above” oneself, is a very problematic aspect of all East Asian cultures which are influenced by Confucianism, and by the fact that they shed feudalism not as long ago as for example Western European societies.
And I don’t understand the need to use that kind of gutter vocabulary. Doesn’t exactly make you seem very educated.
my language? go fuck yourself you racist piece of garbage. i dont need to seem any way to the likes of you. have fun "expecting better" of some arbitrary group you happen to puy yourself in (wow so luck!)
and Confucianism has NOTHING to do with celebrity worship. it's about deference. it's your """THE WEST""" and the way they idolize god and prophets that are the true celebrity worship cultures
But that doesn't make sense to you! anything to put down another culture that is foreign to you. which leads me back to go fuck yourself you racist piece of shit, i hope you get throat cancer and end up with a trachea full of maggots
They also didn’t answer the (admittedly not directly stated but clearly implied) question of who these famous users are.
Saying “yes, they exist” without further elaboration is superfluous.
@[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
@[email protected] has just completely become the account keeping historical memes and historical illustration communities going, which I very much appreciate.
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

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] 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
Don't worry about it fam. Lemmy isn't like a news broadcast, it's more like a family dinner, it's OK to go off on a rant every once in a while. And there's no obligation to post every day, just post when you feel like it and where you feel like it. The fact is, you posted quality content a lot for a long time, and that's commendable.
I love [email protected]
There are a few other animal communities too, like [email protected]
<3
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
Also great contribution to make Lemmy a safer place
Awww, thanks. It stands for "Divided by Zer0" btw ;)
TIL what the "DB" stands for, I thought it was for "database" lol
Yea, I did, too. I thought there was some kind of joke about not having a database.
DB0 is the goat
@[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?
academy award nominee "Margot Robbie" of course!
+1 for user name.
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
Hey, thats just how Academy Award winner Margot Robbie be.
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.
I would feel pretty silly in that circumstance, true.
I hear academy award nominated actress margot robbie is here sometimes.
@[email protected]
@[email protected]
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 😍
It's pretty clear it's tongue in cheek but as far as I know they keep the bit up.
She’s never confirmed or denied anything… which sounds exactly like something Margot Robbie would do.
What is "real"?
Well, just as long as we don't end up stuck with george clooney.....the smug bastard.
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
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?

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.
I would hope they would want to know who they were talking to all weekend, especially the people who own this house.
Ah. Troll account.
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.
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
https://lemmy.world/comment/10906808
You keep bringing that up everywhere his name appear but i genuinely not understand what's your issue with it. It's very much a parent behaviour.
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.
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...
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
and that right there is the problem. Lemmy is back to Reddit's power-mod problem.
Same.
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.
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.
Perhaps it's just that their username is unforgettable, so you notice it when it appears. Definite Rimjob Steve territory.
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
I asked my mom and she didn't really understand what Lemmy is but she assured me that I am the coolest person on here.
An autographed headshot will run you $20
You do hits for $20 and even autograph the victims?
I was talking about signed photos, but we can discuss other options
Any restrictions? The last guy I hired sadly missed by 2cm
We already went over it, I hit him so no refunds
Why would I want a photograph of your mom?
Why wouldn't you? She's awesome.
Either you‘re way less popular than you think of or a medical marvel you can still type after at least one headshot.
There are some infamous ones for the amount of misinformation they post.
It's funny to see you comment here because I was literally coming to this thread to mention that I see you in seemingly every comment chain and thus consider you "Lemmy-famous."
"Lemmy infamous" even
Some even under this very post…
Does SMCF post misinformation? I honestly don't know.
Everything I post is false.
That's not true.
See?
Ouch. My head.
“Lies!”
So if everything you post is a lie then this is also a lie
Yes.
I would say no. SMCF seems more prone to battle misinformation. I was referring to someone else that commented to this post.
Yourself...? I only saw 2 comments before I replied.
I guess it will remain a mystery…
Just like the mystery of why captain planet was a popular show, yet NOBODY liked it. HOW THE HELL WAS IT POPULAR???
I liked Captain Planet.
I liked it. That being said, there weren’t a lot of options in the 90s. It was 4pm on a Tuesday and your homework was done and you wanted to watch TV, there were like three options at best, unless you wanted to see Judge Judy or Dr. Phil, which I did not.
because we all wanted to have one of those cool rings. i wanted weend so i could tornado my ass all over the place instead of having to ride my bike with no brakes.
I really hope Lemmy eventually gets significant enough attention that Whang! does a video about stuff that happens here, so I can hear him say your screen name out loud.
@[email protected] obviously
If you vote me down, I shall become more famous than you can possibly imagine.
No I am more famous than you will ever be.
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.
https://lemmy.world/comment/10928568
What about for politicians who think your internet history should be public? ;)
NSFW:
https://youtu.be/wqn3gR1WTcA
Skip to the good bit:
https://youtu.be/wqn3gR1WTcA#t=20m56s
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.
They also beleive you shouldn't have a right to privacy and that your trauma does not exist
https://lemmy.world/comment/10906808
Holy cannoli squid, don't do that to your kid.
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.
Flying Asshole
Very much you saying Pot meet kettle
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.
I don't see the issue?
They're**
Fuck.
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.
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!
+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.
The user with an AI copyright notice on every one of their posts is one of my favorite "gimmicks".
Is it just one person? I tend to not read usernames. I just find that notice amusing as the only result it will have is that some ai-generated comments will one day start to have that notice in them as well.
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.
In ![email protected] @[email protected] is very present.
In the german meme community ![email protected] @[email protected] , @[email protected] and @[email protected] are very well known.
Ayo
Ada from Lemmy Blahaj Zone is quite infamous for the bad takes and arbitrary bans
Satan's Maggoty Cum Fart always gets a laugh from me
How many of yall read this entire thread and were disapointed or glad you didnt find your own name.
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.
Pretty sure me and another Lemmy were the first two men to meet here then fuck. Highly recommend.
I'm here. You're here. Let's you and me be the new celebrities.
Sorry, I couldn't vote for you. You double-space after periods!
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.
My only controversial opinion is that one must always avoid "/s" indicators, as those are an instant killer of comedy. If an occasional unit of sarcasm flies over the head of another, drawing downvotes and/or unhappiness, it's a price we must endure as a society.
As they should!
Have your people send my people an autograph.
I'm ready for my transformation!
Oh, wait you said celebrities. Not cenobites. Nvm
Do either one of you go on long rambling on-topic stories, only to talk about the undertaker throwing mankind off the hell in a cell in nineteen ninety eight?
Seems like a lot of effort.
That guy that has letters from blue squares.
kol-something? I think it's kolanaki but I never get it right. They're definitely eye-catching in the web UI, even if I don't see them all that often. I kinda get the feeling I misunderstand them a lot.
KOLONOSKOPY
https://yiffit.net/u/Kolanaki
That guy seems like he's everywhere.
FlyingSquid(I don't know on which instance he is, but you see him quite often).
I think their name was "SatansMaggotyCumFart" or something like that?
Clearly me. I am a tiny little youtuber and streamer who wants this place to succeed, so I lurk, I post and don't have a presence on the big platforms.
So if I ever make it big, I can help drive users here. You just wait! It'll happen any day now!
The world is your stage
Imperor-Head here. I can't believe it's really you!
Damn, the Impire truly has it's tendrils everywhere!
@[email protected] for this post: https://szmer.info/post/423722
@[email protected] for running ![email protected]

P.S. Mizu's poop post is really nice study in how the content prevails in fediverse. The original post on lemmy.world throws an error, kbin.social that is linked in r/[email protected] no longer works, but I found a copy on szmer.info
Haha, the poop post! I remembered commenting in that thing, but it might have been from my kbin account before I hopped to .world
You need only glance at my main account, @[email protected], to see I do a bit more than that.
![email protected] is another community I thoroughly enjoy growing.
I've noticed @[email protected] contributes to the community a lot!
Blaze has been great for growing Lemmy communities through contribution to communities like
![email protected]
![email protected] and
![email protected]
I'll second Blaze - very enthusatic about making Lemmy great.
Thanks!
Oh yeah! They're kinda everywhere
That kolanak yiffit guy I see everywhere
SAME! I see them literally everywhere, it's insane.
They stick out because of the use of emoji letters lol
He's our resident furry
I'm kind of a big deal.
I can’t believe you’re here honestly, wow
All the star trek guys
I'm not a huge Star Trek person, but it really is one of the best communities here with some of the best people.
Start with Strange New Worlds. It's the best new Trek in 30 years. You can find it on the Bay or wherever you get your videos.
If you aren't hooked by the end of season 1, yeah it's probably not for you.
Thanks for that.
I tried the first few episodes. I didn't really like it, unfortunately.
Lower Decks is a little bit sillier if that's your thing.
Sometimes yes, but definitely not with Trek.
So I wasn't into it originally, but watching it again as an adult I'm kinda fond of TNG. Cast is amazing, stories are (mostly) great. But I just love how mature and optimistic it is, for the most part.
Seeing difficult questions of morality and strife - seeing people consistently confront those situations with incredible ethics, empathy, and like, well, ADULTS...it's super-refreshing.
And I like the parts of that which shone through into Voyager, DS9, and Enterprise (in that order, at least what I saw of them. I sorta got into Voyager.
Watching Picard, a lot of the characters are there, but most of what I seem to like about TNG isn't. Plus a bunch of the plot is just nonsense and crappily written. I really don't like it.
I tried watching some of DIS here and there but it fucking sucks (IMO). SNW still seems to have too much melodrama and stuff I just don't like. Maybe if I wasn't trying to compare it to TNG or VOY subconsciously, I would like it more; who knows.
Orville is alright.
Everyone says Lower Decks is really great, and I love Futurama and Venture Bros and Rick and Morty and etc. It probably IS great. But I don't really want throwaways about how phasers can't melt steel beams and fart jokes in Trek.
Guess I'm just picky :)
TNG is my favorite too. I think Lower Decks really walks the fine line of being a little bit silly but still being serious enough to feel like core trek.
I'll give it a shot. Thanks tigeruppercut.
No start with "The Next Generation", or "Star Trek: The Original Series" if you like older shows
They are better, then move on to lower decks if you like comedy in a star trek setting then strange new worlds
I'd also recommend star trek prodigy, it can be watched as a family
Star trek picard season 1 and 3 are okay but depart from general star trek quality, season 2 is an absolute clusterfuck of awfulness that should be avoided and I have made my own headcannon that it was just another ones of q's games where they messed with reality creating an awful fever dream of reality and bullshitted about themself dying just to mess with picard again just to fix that godawful season in my mind
Except me apparently, if you read the rest of this thread.
Thank you for your sacrifice
I do it for the glory of the Terran Empire.
People have their reasons for disliking you and I agree with them because my experience with you matches what they are saying flyingsquid
I came to dislike you because of the way you acted in this post
https://lemmy.world/comment/10906808
The thread you linked shows Flying Squid being quite reasonable while being unfairly accused of being a pedophile for having photos of their newborn child. It's not a great example of them being unlikeable.
I understand the position in opposition to the squid's (very common) opinion that it's OK to have a nude photo of your baby which might be playfully and innocently used to embarass them as an adult. At no point in that thread did the squid take a position in favor of creating trauma for anyone. I would imagine, like most parents, if their daughter made it clear to them that showing the photo was a traumatic experience for them, the squid would never show it.
Also, the squid was never mean or unfair in that thread. It's just not a good example of them being unlikeable, in my opinion. If anything, their demeanor while being unfairly called a pedophile only makes them more likeable.
Yes, I know you hate me because I have a photo of my daughter naked when she was a newborn, which makes me a pedophile. That was established by multiple people in that thread.
I'm huge in japan
I'm hung in japan
David Carradine?
Why did you have to remind me of that godawful fucking asshole
Something about this phrase made me think of him
Like Godzilla.
Are you also forever young?
I'm not rod Stewart but I did sleep at a holiday-inn express last night.
wow some people get it all!
I want to be.
thanks made me realise that this years old is an age I want to stay.
Therapy & medication 🙏
✋😮🤚
But, have you met a Tiny Japanese Girl?
kinda wish I hadn't
Aww, c'mon! That's MrWeebl! He gave us badgerbadgerbadger!
I got the style, but not the grace
I got the clothes, but not the face
I got the bread, but not the butter
I got the window, but not the shutter
But hey I'm big in Japan
There are definitely some that I see around a lot, eg. PugJesus or that guy with the emoji name that starts with a K
@[email protected], @[email protected] and @[email protected] help a lot to keep [email protected] active
I'm always seeing TexasDrunk on here. But maybe it's just that Texas stands out to me since I'm from there.
Flyingsquid, pugjesus, maven, the_picard_maneuver, fossilesque, satansmaggotycumfart, and jeffw just to name a few.
That one user who started that no pooping meme or whatever its called
I'm Burt Reynolds.
I see @[email protected] constantly, and it trips me up every time because when I met my wife online twelve years ago, her username was MyOpinionIs. Not sure that they're famous, though..
I think it's the blue checkmark that always draws my eyes.
I think meall joking aside I think https://lemmy.world/u/The_Picard_Maneuver is the closest to one due to seeing him everywhereSaving this thread so i can update my blocklist!
Maybe its just me, but I see @[email protected] moon a lot. They post sovereign citizen stuff, which is what i see regularly, but they are also a pretty good poet.
@[email protected]
Its me that guy in the thing
Don't know their exact names...
Instant Noodles on feddit.org
Someone with blue emojis spelling and starting with a K (Kola or Kol or something)
https://lemmy.world/u/jeffw
Jeffw is locally famous. Posting content and commenting. (Sorry, can’t figure out how to grab the user name link on this app)
@[email protected] has a blue name and posts a lot
I see @[email protected], @[email protected], and @[email protected] a lot
@[email protected] were fairly prominent for a while with ![email protected]
😞 I guess I’m not as clever as I thought
@[email protected] I think counts. A good friend who is famous for participating and fascinated with every activity I'll never do lol
Not me.
I'm infamous if that helps
I'm unfamous!
can't think of anyone
The_Picard_Maneuver is the real MVP of Lemmy, a source of so much joy.
I might be famous when pigs fly.
I suspect a lot of the prolific posters are just cross posting curated content from reddit (which is fine). I don't think Lemmy is big enough for famous people yet. Alternatively:
Lemmy has no famous people. Lemmy needs to famous people.
"Fart McCarthy" of course, you remember the "Ding Ding Dookie Shuffe" on Christmas Eve '73? Classic! Even my grandma knows about that one.
And she's a god damn idiot.
Ah yes. The most American of questions.
Have you considered that America bad?
wait till you hear about celebrity worship in other countries too
did you know there are kpop fans who think they're literally destined to marry their crush?
I hear England has a family that's famous for just being alive...
[email protected]
oh go fuck yourself you racist piece of shit. what the actual fuck do you think you're saying? "expect better"??? fucking WHY? and who the fuck is WE???!?
I am saying that celebrity worship, or more generally, worship of people who one deems “above” oneself, is a very problematic aspect of all East Asian cultures which are influenced by Confucianism, and by the fact that they shed feudalism not as long ago as for example Western European societies. And I don’t understand the need to use that kind of gutter vocabulary. Doesn’t exactly make you seem very educated.
my language? go fuck yourself you racist piece of garbage. i dont need to seem any way to the likes of you. have fun "expecting better" of some arbitrary group you happen to puy yourself in (wow so luck!)
and Confucianism has NOTHING to do with celebrity worship. it's about deference. it's your """THE WEST""" and the way they idolize god and prophets that are the true celebrity worship cultures
But that doesn't make sense to you! anything to put down another culture that is foreign to you. which leads me back to go fuck yourself you racist piece of shit, i hope you get throat cancer and end up with a trachea full of maggots
Are you a „HAPA“ then, yeah?
I'm sure I'm famous because I'm allegedly a Russian troll and a Nazi sympathizer that promotes slavery in China because I eat chocolate sometimes.
Quite the character, huh?
There is a good amount on Lemmy that I have seen.
If you are active enough, you will start to see user names you recognize across major communities, as well as posts.
Hey I recognize this one right here!
Idk why you're getting downvoted. Have an updog. Nothing you said is downvote worthy; banal, maybe, but then that's 97% of internet comments
Whoever that is I apparently blocked them some time ago because I can't see what they wrote lol sounds like I made the right choice
You did make the right choice, they simply spam Russian propaganda every day.
For real, under the guise of "doing Lemmy a service" 😂
And they lack a sense of humor.
I think this is a product of everything they’ve read and everything they’ve posted having gone through an automatic translation service.
Oh. Well fire away, b'ys.
They also didn’t answer the (admittedly not directly stated but clearly implied) question of who these famous users are.
Saying “yes, they exist” without further elaboration is superfluous.
What's an updog?
A dog that is happy(the opposite of a dog that is "down" or unhappy)
Nothing. What's an up with you, dawg?
