Like users that are known for a gimmick or that everyone sees alot?
can’t think of anyone
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world has been a constant presence who seemingly posts at all hours of the day, probably the biggest Lemmy “celebrity” that I can think of.
<3
Also appears to be a genuinely witty, standup dude.
Y’all are going to make me blush.
Yes, and unlike many high volume posters (from the other place), they’re actually really active in the comments sections too!
Had a nice little back-and-forth with them recently about types of tea. Very pleasant person.
I would assume hot earl gray tea came up in that conversation somewhere?
I’ve had this saved for a while and was trying to think of a good time to use itYou would be extremely correct.
They post so much I thought it was a community for a while and not a singular person posting
It’s not a whole community?
academy award nominee “Margot Robbie” of course!
Ugh.
You’re gonna feel pretty silly when it’s really her and she dates us all.
I’m prepared to feel silly and date Margot Robbie
you think she’ll actually date the non-believers? pfft that’s not how faith works
Hey, thats just how Academy Award winner Margot Robbie be.
The secret to my immense wealth was simply forwarding an e-mail from Bill Gates to 10 of my friends, quite a few years ago now. I guess most people didn’t think it was real, but as soon as I sent the 10th, Bill got in touch, and the rest is history.
I would feel pretty silly in that circumstance, true.
Are they still posting?
I see a lot of posts from @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world.
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
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 just played a metroidvania called death’s door, and in one section you go to a restaurant where the cook is a squid puppeting a dead guy as a disguise. Thought you’d be interested

How are the clarinet lessons going these days?
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.
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.
Yeah, I had to ban him… Dude’s got some serious issues.
Where exactly did you have to ban me from? Because I just looked at your post history and I’m not banned in any of the communities where you post.
Strangely, for me being a dude with serious issues, you aren’t worried about posting regularly in the communities I moderate.
I don’t think most people look at the list of moderators before submitting content.
He also uses the fact that he is a mod to bully people. He just holds it over the conversation at times to force it to go the way he wants.
heh, case in point.
I don’t exactly make it a secret that I moderate World News or Lemmy Shitpost, where they have posted multiple times. Including in reply to me. The big red M next to my name makes it kind of hard to miss.
And that still doesn’t tell me where they supposedly banned me from.
I think this post may be an example of that
You keep bringing that up everywhere his name appear but i genuinely not understand what’s your issue with it. It’s very much a parent behaviour.
He also uses the fact that he is a mod to bully people. He just holds it over the conversation at times to force it to go the way he wants.
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…
and that right there is the problem. Lemmy is back to Reddit’s power-mod problem.
I’ve seen them goad people into arguments and then smugly mute them and tell them they need a timeout lmao
Or arbitrarily ban them all together. My favorite is still baning for tos violation then leaving said violation up
I dislike flying squid because of how they interacted on that one post with comic involving double standards on pictures of children
Denying people’s trauma and right to not have those images be shown to others without permission is not a nice thing
No love for @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world ? They’re not always the best troll, but man are they prodigious.
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.
Perhaps it’s just that their username is unforgettable, so you notice it when it appears. Definite Rimjob Steve territory.
not just a bad troll, but has some messed up takes on the world.
For example, he’s against OHS. Good on Lemmy for knocking that Idiocy down to -185 or more, but still. No.
What is ohs?
*Quick Google
Occupational Health and Safety?
yep.
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.
An autographed headshot will run you $20
You do hits for $20 and even autograph the victims?
I was talking about signed photos, but we can discuss other options
Any restrictions? The last guy I hired sadly missed by 2cm
We already went over it, I hit him so no refunds
Why would I want a photograph of your mom?
There are some infamous ones for the amount of misinformation they post.
Some even under this very post…
Does SMCF post misinformation? I honestly don’t know.
Everything I post is false.
That’s not true.
See?
Ouch. My head.
“Lies!”
deleted by creator
So if everything you post is a lie then this is also a lie
Yes.
I would say no. SMCF seems more prone to battle misinformation. I was referring to someone else that commented to this post.
Yourself…? I only saw 2 comments before I replied.
I guess it will remain a mystery…
Just like the mystery of why captain planet was a popular show, yet NOBODY liked it. HOW THE HELL WAS IT POPULAR???
I liked it. That being said, there weren’t a lot of options in the 90s. It was 4pm on a Tuesday and your homework was done and you wanted to watch TV, there were like three options at best, unless you wanted to see Judge Judy or Dr. Phil, which I did not.
I liked Captain Planet.
If you vote me down, I shall become more famous than you can possibly imagine.
No I am more famous than you will ever be.
Flying squid
but not in a good way.
Until this thread, I didnt realize so many Lemmy users had an issue with Flying Squid. Perhaps its because I tend to agree with a lot of his takes, but I just find him abrasive at worst. Like…unafraid to not sugarcoat an uncomfortable truth.
Dudes definitely everywhere though.
FlyingSquid believes that your internet browsing history should be made public if you are running for any political position. Worst take of all time.
Rumors of my only having good opinions about everything that everyone should agree with have been greatly exaggerated.
But if I have offended you by being wrong about something, I apologize.
Not offended, more just dumbfounded that someone could honestly not see how that is obviously a terrible idea.
See above, re me not always having good opinions about everything.
I cannot help being severely flawed. It comes with the whole homo sapiens thing.
But good for you not having any opinions most people in a certain community you’re in disagree with. That must be very nice for you.
So what you are saying (through an incredibly thick layer of condescension) is that you know your belief is wrong. And instead of changing your belief, you would rather maintain it, knowing it is wrong. That’s just bizarre.
They also beleive you shouldn’t have a right to privacy and that your trauma does not exist
What about for politicians who think your internet history should be public? ;)
NSFW:
Skip to the good bit:
I’ve gotten into it with them at least once and seen some other questionable takes from them but nothing to a grudge over. They’re just opinionated. It’s fine. People take shit on the internet too seriously.
deleted by creator
I’ve never seen them be out of pocket, just everywhere.
Fuck that guy.
Seems like he’s gotten a little better lately.
Its going to sound silly, but I can’t get past how confident he is and how quickly he posts. Noone makes good arguments with that little thought. At least thats my current theory on why he bothers me.
Who knows though maybe I’m projecting.
No, because of how they interacted on this post
https://lemmy.world/comment/10906808
Their the second person I hate on lemmy, the other one being stamets because they repsonded to me in an abrasive, rude, toxic and above others attitude
I really don’t see a problem with how they interacted. And, as a step father, I agree that it’s your job to embarrass your kids some as they grow.
I think they were much more level headed and calm than I would have been had I been at odds with so many people.
But hey, everyone is allowed their own opinions.
Be careful pointing that out on forums they moderate or they’ll ban you for “mod harassmenr.”
Power users and power mods are cancer.
I don’t see the issue?
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world obviously
I am quite famous in my house. Pretty much everyone here knows me.
I dig it.
I’m here. You’re here. Let’s you and me be the new celebrities.
Have your people send my people an autograph.
Do either one of you go on long rambling on-topic stories, only to talk about the undertaker throwing mankind off the hell in a cell in nineteen ninety eight?
Seems like a lot of effort.
Well, not to brag, but today i sneezed so loud that a neighbour 2 houes down and across yelled “bless”. So, yeah, kind of famous.
That would be 2√2 or √8 houses.
What am I missing here?
A taco?
Well, yeah. Duh. That goes without saying.
2 units (in this case houses) down and 2 across (a perhaps intentional misinterpretation of the original slightly ambiguous statement). Reasonable to assume down and across are perpendicular directions. Let’s pretend space-time is Euclidean. How far away is the listener from the sneeze? Pythagoras, our faithful companion, guides our understanding…√(2²+2²)=√8=2√2
this is a european old city, so definitely a non-euclidian space.
How many of yall read this entire thread and were disapointed or glad you didnt find your own name.
It might be egotistical but I was hoping I’d made a mark in Lemmy culture.
Not really because I’m not aiming to be famous on lemmy, that takes effort and I’d hate doing that
I’m just on lemmy to use it like any other social media
I did find my own name and am both disappointed and glad.
That guy that has letters from blue squares.
kol-something? I think it’s kolanaki but I never get it right. They’re definitely eye-catching in the web UI, even if I don’t see them all that often. I kinda get the feeling I misunderstand them a lot.
KOLONOSKOPY
That guy seems like he’s everywhere.
