But the advantage is that Lemmy allows Tor. 😅
I know I am normally recognizable, but currently if someone doesn’t have display names or avatars visible they probably won’t know who I am on this account since it’s my old username, from Reddit.
I get around that problem by simply never looking at your usernames
Me too, Steve, me too.
Stop freakin him out
Your username would make a good meme.
"Were cat
Now am what?"
I just suck at remembering names. I’ve started remembering people by their Profile picture more than their username
Its too bad you cant sniff butts on the internet like in real life
same and i block the ml and the holier than thou accounts.
I honestly have no clue why are some instances so hated here, but I’m going to assume it’s politics.
You are on an instance that has defederated lemmy.ml, which is why you never see their toxicity. You can type the url and visit the instance yourself, its toxic. Its the reason why your instance admin blocked them.
politics is as toxic as its on reddit unfortunately, the people who were banned there came here made thier own “instance” and just became the same mods.
I just wish the people in the subs I mod and post in would post some too. I feel like I am just posting for myself in those subs. Hell I am not a mod in c/trailrunning and it has like 170 members and no one post. I was the last person that posted. I know people are looking because someone is upvoting the things I post but no replies, no conversation. I don’t know what to do to drive engagement.
I didn’t know that community existed! Not sure what to post there yet but I’ll join
As for posting stuff on the internet, I don’t care anymore. I just try to not post stupid shit, and be decent to other people.
I’ve had the misfortune of posting on Craigslist Forums and then having at least 1-2 people shit on me or call me a moron
Lemmy is also not overrun by AI bots and sock puppets.
For now!
Everyone here is my alt, except you.
There are only two real users on Lemmy, its just you and me. Get pranked!

This
Edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!
Wouldn’t sock puppeting be much easier on Lemmy? Or does Lemmy implement a minimum account age system like Reddit does?
It would be pretty easily though, if anyone starts to think that it’s important.
This is what they want you to believe!
this…
Oh, you sweet summer child.
I’ve only seen “you sweet summer child” a handful of times on Lemmy
Does that mean my grandma was the OG memer? Bless your hearts.
I would like to see a lot less of it
For some of the really prolific posters, yes. But there are also lurkers like me.
I doubt anyone can recognize me when I comment or encounter a comment I made.
Having a pfp greatly increases my recognition of other users. So you’re already proving more recognizable than most users who have none.
Can’t remember exactly why I put a profile picture here, but I guess I was thinking “oh, someone might use the same username I use in some other instance, so I guess I’ll put something to differentiate.”
Whether or not that actually hurts my own statement, I’ll leave it for the others to decide. I think posting/comment volume + striking username (and profile picture) + unique voice = recognizability. I think only have one of three, so… IDK!
I’m order to prove you wrong, I am committed to remembering your username.
Thanks…?
Let’s see when we meet each other in some other corner of Lemmy.
until we see each other again 🫡
I love your username, I used to use it on another platform.
User tags make recognizing people a lot easier. I see tagged users a lot. Voyager even keeps a running total of how many times I have upvoted and downvoted particular users.
There’s one user I have at like -30, tagged as a Nazi apologist. And sure enough, every time I scroll past them, they’re commenting some weird BS.
How do you tag users on voyager?
Go to the user screen, then use the menu button in the top corner. There’s an “Edit Tag” option.
Heyyy, it apparently works the same on Boost. In honor of teaching me how to tag people, you are now tagged as “Tagged”. Thank you and congratulations!
Oh, I use that too on my mobile app (Voyager). I am starting to think that once the total votes reach some threshold, either I’d encounter them consistently dishing out hot takes, or I’m primed to think their take is hot and spicy.
Potentially unpopular protip: I’ve blocked most of the “prolific” posters. My entire feed was becoming repurposed memes from 2015.
I’m happy there are people out there dedicating time to keeping Lemmy “active” but that is not how I want to live my life.
I will never forget you.
I don’t think I’ve done anything that would warrant that, but thanks!
Sa PH lang kita madalas nakikita, san ka ba nagpo-post pre? 😃
Pakalat-kalat lang ako. Kung saan lang mapagtripan. 😅
Bihira lang din akong magpost kasi madalas wala rin naman akong masabi o maidagdag.
I’m just hanging around at random places. Wherever my fancy takes me.
I rarely post too, since I rarely have anything to say or add.
Oh, you umami monsoon adolescent.
Savory autumn fetus?
Salty winter sperm
Tart spring spunk

Oh, you sour winter adult
I think should touch some grass because i may recognise more people here than in the village i am living in for like 2 jears
Username checks out
Oh, you bitter elder of autumn.
At least people are keeping my mother’s name out of their damn mouth.
can’t wait for G.I. Jane 2
This message brought to you by fandango. Some how you can stream movies that are still in theaters but no one trust us enough to find out how.
I actually do trust them to find out how, and how is by charging the same as about 3 movie tickets.
Yeah but do I have to apply for their subscription servixe too? Do they then play endless ads? I dont care to find out.
It’s like what Disney+ did during lockdown. I believe you had to have the subscription to then gain the privilege of paying another $20 for a movie. Still cheaper than going to the movies for a family though.
I subscribed to her only fans page 😁
I think she’s ugly
It’s the same with every small forum tbh
Typical Magnus comment.
Calm down buddy, Magnus didn’t do nothin wrong.
Yeah he did. He should have done nothing and he did it wrong.
It wasn’t the Emperor’s fault in any way shape or form.
💜 Klear
Praise
KierKlear!
Oh, you salty spring chicken
who the fuck are you
Yea I made a throwaway so nobody can recognize me.
Try doxxing me now 😉
(But seriously tho, there were weirdos that follow you around and mass dovote 🤷♂️)
Not just that, but they also use those tagging extensions in case they have an opportunity to bring up some shit from the past because they have nothing better to do than to keep tabs on everyone like it matters. Very normal and stable people.
Get off my lawn!
