Although Lemmy’s userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.
I recognise half the names in this comment section. And op too
…
I think most of Lemmy knows me by now, and FlyingSquid.
Lemmy’s still small enough that if you’re even remotely active, you start to recognize just about everybody. I like that, and I kinda miss that about the smaller communities/forums of the old internet.
I’ve ran into my sister a few times. Hilariously one time she didn’t notice my username and actually quoted my own comment back to me IRL because she thought it was funny.
Quitting Reddit and joining Lemmy certainly feels like moving from a metropolis to a village.
I recognize everyone with an avatar.
I recognize half as much without one.
Seeing names pop up here that I know are just trolls. It’s actually kinda a bummer. Like the Santa maggot guy. Quite certain they are not here to be helpful, so why glorify them? That said, we know Picard is legit so three cheers to them.
SatansMCF is all over the place, they have some good takes, and some awful ones
FlyingSquid is the only one I recognize and I feel like he’s lemmys GallowBoob from reddit.
I think that’s one of my earliest blocks. Lol.
Ah really? He’s nice and thoughtful.
