I love you.

Just trying to do my part to help non-corporate social media grow!

I am not entirely convinced you’re not a bot. But you get a pass thanks to your top notch content.

you pass the Turin Test of my heart

The Shroud of Turing sounds so badass.

Weird that a city in Italy has a test for this, but cool.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

You are the growth lol

At least one of your posts is always on the front page whenever I check, and more are always shortly after

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're like that one power user on old school forums that you would see everywhere and everyone else would know and respect them lmao

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha, thank you for the kind words. Everyone has been so nice on Lemmy, and it really keeps me engaged.

Bro is the embodiment of the meme "Doing my part!"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Joined 3 weeks ago, thousands of posts and comments. Holy moly

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My initial account was on lemmy.world, but since making this one on startrek.website, it has far surpassed it. I still hop between them to post whenever one or the other is acting sluggish.

They're called symbionts, you fucking racist

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

All I'm saying is if you put two symbionts in front of me, I just can't tell the difference.

Back at you, Cockmaster6000...

Mad respect, I've shared so many of your memes to outerverse folks and realised most of them come from you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's awesome to hear! I can only claim to have made a small % of the ones I post to lemmy, but I've always thought it would be cool to stumble upon one of mine circulating elsewhere one day.

[–] misterdoctor 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just to be clear, no hate at all for the_picard_maneuver!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don't hate him either, but I suspect a lot of the memes come from reddit. Not that I care. The memes are dope

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I make OC for lemmy occasionally, but the majority of memes are saved from other sites.

I see it as a doing a little bit of dumpster diving so that lemmy doesn't have to.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's appreciated. There's no way with how prolific you are that you could sustain it if it was all OC.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh god, it would be practically full time. I'm still really slow at making memes, but I'm starting to learn the tricks.

[–] SpaceNoodle 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still don't see how what you're doing isn't full-time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It really doesn't feel like too much. I just drop a few memes whenever I find a free minute or two. Usually during the day, but sometimes I go hours or even a busy day without thinking about it.

It means that I'm using lemmy as much as I used to check reddit though, but I'm having fun actually contributing instead of lurking this time around.

They post so fast, they appear to be in two places at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Being able to see Lemmy karma scores feels... wrong. But yes, the Picard Maneuver is a treasure

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not if it gives me that dopamine rush!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Truly the MrBabyMan of the Lemmyverse

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

They is how it begins. They give you lots of free stuff and once you're hooked, they start to enshittify everything and ask you for more money or ad revenue. "The picard manoeuvre" may seem like an internet hero now, but beware! (JK of course, you're the mvp)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You guys are recording how many updoots you get?
