There is a good amount on Lemmy that I have seen.

If you are active enough, you will start to see user names you recognize across major communities, as well as posts.

Idk why you’re getting downvoted. Have an updog. Nothing you said is downvote worthy; banal, maybe, but then that’s 97% of internet comments

They also didn’t answer the (admittedly not directly stated but clearly implied) question of who these famous users are.
Saying “yes, they exist” without further elaboration is superfluous.

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

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

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

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.

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…

For whatever this is worth, he is argumentative & unfriendly enough for him to be mentioned multiple times in this thread as a famous asshole. (Note, many comments have now been “removed by mod” - but they were there. Just mentioning it in case someone tries to Ctrl+F their name to verify.)
