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.

jots down your username
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Definately gonna follow this guy around Lemmy and make completely innocent remarks, that are in no way insulting or aggressive.
But with Lemmy being so small, and me having said that, he's now going to wonder if I actually AM following him around Lemmy. Or is it really the coincidence of Lemmy being so small.
However I post so often everywhere that it's bound to happen. And he's going to be like "OH MY GOD DUDE!!! IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS!!! STOOOOOP!!!!"
And 5 minutes after posting this I will immediately forget he exists. Thus making him look like a crazy person from my perspective.
See? This is how you troll yourself. Start by having insane thoughts, follow up by acting on them, then forget the whole thing, and be confused by the consequences of your own actions!
And thus, I learn absplutely nothing!
I used to use the personal tag/comment in RES to keep track of peoples real names when they let slip in a post.
It was always fun to run across them in another sub months later and use their name as if I knew them.
So, how many people scrolled through this thread looking to see if they were mentioned? 😛
It would be very surprising if you weren't mentioned.
But just in case, I notice you! :P
I think most of Lemmy knows me by now, and FlyingSquid.
And Stamets. Though, thinking about it I've not seen them about much recently.
He's Riker now.
He really didn't like the end to Discovery.
Haha I'd missed that.
On a side note I thought it ended ok. Not great not terrible I'd probably give it 3.6.
The calypso ending was massively tacked on. Instead of putting the tech in the black hole they should have had to have Discovery itself have to hide with it. Then emotional goodbyes under pressure rather than dragged out.
3.6 of? 5? 10? 69?
3.6 roentgen, not great, not terrible.
Off the top of my head, a lot. @FlyingSquid, @The_Picard_Maneuver, @AngryCommieKender, @captainlezbian, @DragonTypeWyvern, @Cryophilia, @masquenox, @jimmydoreisalefty, @SatansMaggotyCumFart, @BonesOfTheMoon, @1984, @Cryophilia, @Nurse_Robot. Some of them just have very memorable or kick-ass names (Nurse Robot? Why didn't I think of that???), and some of them are unavoidable on the site.
I also usually remember the active conservative and "centrist" specimens on this site, like intensely_human, IsThisAnAI, TubularTittyFrog, SpaceCowboy, Melvin_Ferd. I tend to strongly disagree with them a lot.

While some have already been mentioned, I’d also like to call out that we do have the esteemed Academy Award winning actress, Margot Robbie in Lemmy! She posts when she can, and I’m really hoping one day she’ll do an Ask Me Anything with us.
Yay
Shocked nobody seems to have brought up ThePicardManuever yet
Him and Stamets are easily the ones who kept me here a year ago
Yes.
I see and reply to u/FlyingSquid a lot.
I also see u/The_Picard_Manoeuvre or some variation. I only remember those two as I saw them a lot when I came here and still do.
Flying squid spends their entire life here as far as I can tell. And just about every major news sub is owned by Jeffw. This place has like 400 active users tops.
Jeffw ain't a bot?
Too many news bots here IMHO
Jeffw keeps the Philly sports communities going, they’re a real person.
I think Kolanaki, Zacharia, Margot Robbie (since she's famous already), are the ones I can remember. Maybe making a journal page for keeping track would help.
Wait, I thought the Margot Robbie account admitted to not being the real person? Lol.
I just play her on TV.
Not really, because I normally don't even look at or register usernames unless I emphatically agree or disagree with a post. I've been doing this for years, first on forums, then on reddit and now here. I don't want to be biased against the content of the message just because I like or dislike a particular poster, so I mostly ignore usernames altogether.
There's a handful, yeah. Some folks are prolific posters. Others just have altered text I'm their name, which makes it stand out enough to recall easily.
But generally, it takes extended interactions to remember a user name for long.
Has anyone seen academy award nominated actress Margot Robbie lately?
Maybe she's busy working and can't spend as much time messing with tech friends on social media or something.
Bonesofthemoon posts sovcit mockery
I also post a lot on c/poetry in case anyone likes poetry.
FlyingSquid, The Picard Maneuver, Ummthatguy, SatansMaggotyCumFart, SPECULATOR, KonalaKoala, SHEEPLE, ParabolicMotion (infamous), El_Burrito, FartsWithAnAccent...
There's more that I recognize but mostly by their avatars and not their names.
Is it sad that I want certain people to recognize me but not everyone?

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.
stopthatgirl7 and reddfugee are two I remember seeing a few times.
I remember you! From a discussion about people being barred from voting for certain criminal offenses.
Your username is very rememberable.
FlyingSquid, BonesoftheMoon, jeffw, and thePicardManeuver are the ones I recognize because I see them so often.
@PugJesus wya?
Why did everyone get so political lmao
Everyone got political because that guy is pro genocide. Its a pretty gross stance. Hard to overlook.
Is he? I wasn't aware of that
I'm not. I'm extremely anti-Israel, but not supporting a Trump presidency makes me pro-genocide in the eyes of accelerationists.
Thank you for explaining.
Commenting usernames which I know and Someone else have didn't commented yet.
@Blaze@reddthat.com
@crul@lemm.ee He is now inactive on Lemmy Sadly
Blaze is of every instance! they have so many accounts!
