A small handful. Especially those who post content a lot. But not a lot.
However, when reading comments, I only check usernames when I either strongly agree or disagree. Only outliers are identified; idle chat is visually anonymized by my having a very limited field of view.
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.
The rest of these comments are surprising because I don't remember anyone past an interaction we had. Now I'm wondering whose shit list I'm on
Mine 😈
Yesss.
flying squid
the cooler mia
max
gandalf der 12
ygthur (or sth)
and a lot of german home instance ones (ranslite, nudel, kühe, ...)
and probably a few i forgot rn
Nope. But I mean I don't even remember names of people irl, haha
No, but I miss the days of smaller forums with user recognition. The last time I really recognized a user that wasn't a mass repost bot was a user on the r/stalker (game) sub-reddit by the name of CeliceTheGreat. Every interaction and opinion we ever had were seemingly in solidarity with one another, and it was always a pleasure to encounter him on other subs occasionally. I doubt he was any more Russian than I am (American/Canadian), but I miss you, comrade, and think of you often.
Interstellar, I got buddies who died face-down in the muck so you and I could enjoy this family lemmy!
Commenting usernames which I know and Someone else have didn't commented yet.
@[email protected] He is now inactive on Lemmy Sadly
Yea, I see same people all the time, small world or small lemmy idk
I recognize maybe 1 or 2. I'm on a lot less than I was when I started so it makes sense.
There was a thread about me (cheese_greater) a long time ago haha. Like they say, if you can't read about yourself...It was pretty...balanced, fr
Yes, a few.
Even if you see many, it doesn't seem odd to only remember 5 though. I was on Reddit for like 9 years and would only have recognized a handful of usernames.
Yes, quite a few.
Well see EVERYBODY knows The MASTA CHIEF
Yeah. I see a bunch of the same accounts, but that’s probably because they’re active in the same communities I am. I see a lot more accounts I don’t recognize though.
If you're a regular on any of the communities I mod, I remember your username. Any new username to me immediately stands out.
Damn I need to post more.
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)
Nope, not quite, or at least I can't remember.
I reckon not everyone carried over their username from the other place; I personally didn't.
I recognise a lot of people on hexbear since most other instances defederate them. doesn't leave a lot of variety so it has that forum feel.
