@[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] 73 points 4 months ago (1 children)

@[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

[–] setsneedtofeed 50 points 4 months ago

@[email protected] has just completely become the account keeping historical memes and historical illustration communities going, which I very much appreciate.

[–] anon6789 45 points 4 months ago (9 children)

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.

@[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]

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

[–] [email protected] 50 points 4 months ago

Also great contribution to make Lemmy a safer place

@[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_Picard_Maneuver 91 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Also appears to be a genuinely witty, standup dude.

They post so much I thought it was a community for a while and not a singular person posting

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

[–] FlyingSquid 80 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (7 children)

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 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.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices 31 points 4 months ago (7 children)

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.

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...

No love for @[email protected] ? They're not always the best troll, but man are they prodigious.

[–] mke 28 points 4 months ago

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.

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.

There are some infamous ones for the amount of misinformation they post.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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."

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 user with an AI copyright notice on every one of their posts is one of my favorite "gimmicks".
