What is your claim to Lemmy fame.

    Lady butterfly is for example responsible for keeping Lemmy wholesome.

    Blaze is posting meta stuff quite often.

    The Picard Manoeuvre is the first Lemmy celeb for his accomplishments in memes.

    Many names I can mention.

        I would even say that me being this humble is what makes me stand out so clearly amongst my peers. It’s one of my great qualities, being humble.

    I mostly lurk, just like how I’m primarily scrolling through this thread to see if the 21-23 year old virgin who’s looking for a 30 year old girlfriend is in here.

        So there’s this one user who had posted about a story idea they had wanting to know how old the protagonist is. Someone replied that looking at his post history, they would guess 21-23. So I clicked the dude’s name and man, what a crazy ride. Like 80% of his posts were either about what people thought about someone in their 30s dating someone who was 21-23 (and stated in one that of course if the older person were in their 40s-50s dating a 21-23 they should be killed) or how it was impossible for a 21-23 year old to ever have sex because women didn’t want someone with no experience. I always forget his name and his posts have branched out more, but I’ll be reading something that feels slightly unhinged and then someone in the comments will make a 21-23 year old reference and I realize who I’m reading. It’s like Where’s Waldo, the text-based version.

    I never remember to read user names, I’ve only very recently turned on people’s pictures so I occasionally notice repeats.

    I do always see Y around as I have their username flagged because I’ve had disagreements with them in the past

    I wouldn’t know what I’m recognized for, if at all. It could probably be many things. Being nice to someone, being a tool to someone, saying something funny/smart, saying something stupid/ignorant. Y’all tell me 😆 I’m sure they’re all correct.

    Someone said I love stealing (memes and links), and that’s the label I put on myself.

    And maybe a few dumb German memes or learning Japanese?

    I make a new account every thousand comments or so specifically because I don’t want internet fame. But if I didn’t, I’d probably be recognized as that guy who says what he thinks even when he knows it won’t be popular. Then again, I filter content so aggressively to avoid threads where I’d be tempted to share those unpopular opinions that maybe I wouldn’t get recognized that much after all.
