Like users that are known for a gimmick or that everyone sees alot?
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world is a meme god.
@PugJesus@lemmy.world keeps history alive and the Confederacy in check.
@anon6789@lemmy.world is our resident owl afficionado.
There are many others, of course, but I seem to notice these three a lot in my Subscribed feed.
@silence7@slrpnk.net and @MicroWave@lemmy.world both post a shitpile of news articles.
My dear, sweet @fossilesque@mander.xyz posts so many science memes it makes my head spin
@PugJesus@lemmy.world has just completely become the account keeping historical memes and historical illustration communities going, which I very much appreciate.
I’m honored to be listed with those 2 posting machines!
It always means a lot you all take the time to read my posts.
You’d get an upvote for the GGI alone from me
There is so much gold in that show! ❤️
100%. I was there from the original airing of the pilot episode through the last 22 years of multi-year breaks between seasons.
LOL a couple years ago one of my closest friends who happens to be about the furthest away from me of any of them. Shot me a message asking me to guess who they were having lunch with. I had no idea. But it turned out that she had bumped into Lisa hammer and they had been hanging out a bit. They both live up in New York near the Bronx. I may have gotten some signed Triana swag out of the deal LOL
I started during season 1 with my best friend at the time. It took me a bit to get into it, but once I was, I started back from the beginning and then it just got better every season.
Trina episodes are great. The one with the double date is one of the best. The whole set of bathroom scenes are so hilarious!
Yes would have been interesting to see if Tirana’s character got a little more development had Lisa and Doc not split. But she seems to be doing well and is enjoying her work in film out there in New York. So it’s all good.
But yes the rogues gallery on that show was always one of my favorites personally. The Thin White Duke as the sovereign complete with a Klaus Nomi/Iggy pop cameo in the second season finale I think it was? And all the other absurd villains and heroes they just shucked out left and right. Not to mention 21 absurd story arc.
I really hoped the baboon’s heart was king gorilla’s, meaning the return of my favorite villain.
Cigar?
King, I gotta buy my bitch back. Here’s your cigarette.
F_ you, gimme a dollar!
So many great villains. 😆
You are very mich appreciated as well with your cute owl posts :) <3
I like giving you all something special every day! 🦉
Along with those already mentioned, my personal heroes are people who keep communities alive:
@MrSebSin@sh.itjust.works posts comics daily to !garfield@lemmy.world and others
@perishthethought@lemm.ee keeps !fullmoviesonyoutube@lemm.ee going
@JohnnyEnzyme@lemm.ee posts regularly about !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
@clark@midwest.social has been killing it on !truecomics@midwest.social
Thanks but lately you and other subscribers have been posting a lot too!
@ME5SENGER_24@lemmy.world Posts daily to !classicrock@lemmy.world
You and everyone else who keeps communities alive are all appreciated!
Love you @Rolando@lemmy.world, but I spazzed out recently after a full year of pressing too hard for a ‘post per day,’ and I feel like I dishonored everyone here when I melted down recently. (I’m super-embarrassed)
So I appreciate the mention, but regardless of how I embarrassed the community, I can’t aim for one scholarly post per day, anymore. I just can’t. Sorry about that, matey.
Now I do plan to keep on posting as the mood seeks me, but I just CAN’T keep the community popular like this, all on my own. Even just a little bit of help would go far.
Ugh, sorry for all the bitching and moaning. :S
Don’t worry about it fam. Lemmy isn’t like a news broadcast, it’s more like a family dinner, it’s OK to go off on a rant every once in a while. And there’s no obligation to post every day, just post when you feel like it and where you feel like it. The fact is, you posted quality content a lot for a long time, and that’s commendable.
I love !superbowl@lemmy.world
There are a few other animal communities too, like !koalawallawoods@lemmy.world
<3
DBZer0, aka Divide By Zer0. He runs an instance with the same name. He’s one of the old mods on r/piracy and helped lead an exodus over to Lemmy
Also great contribution to make Lemmy a safer place
Awww, thanks. It stands for “Divided by Zer0” btw ;)
DB0 is the goat
TIL what the “DB” stands for, I thought it was for “database” lol
Yea, I did, too. I thought there was some kind of joke about not having a database.
@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?
You would be extremely correct.
I’ve had this saved for a while and was trying to think of a good time to use it
They post so much I thought it was a community for a while and not a singular person posting
I just realized right now that it was a user and not a community lol
It’s not a whole community?
academy award nominee “Margot Robbie” of course!
+1 for user name.
Are they still posting?
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.
I hear academy award nominated actress margot robbie is here sometimes.
Damn she’s been inactive recently
No wonder I haven’t been seeing her around
She busy making another movie?
Not real, isn’t it?
According to them, it’s really the academy award nominee Margot Robbie. She hasn’t provided any convincing proof. I still believe her tho because I usually like girls of color, but Margot Robbie is my one white girl celebrity crush 😍
It’s pretty clear it’s tongue in cheek but as far as I know they keep the bit up.
She’s never confirmed or denied anything… which sounds exactly like something Margot Robbie would do.
What is “real”?
Well, just as long as we don’t end up stuck with george clooney…the smug bastard.
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?
Fun fact: Squidward Tentacles isn’t a squid. He’s meant to be an octopus.
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…
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
and that right there is the problem. Lemmy is back to Reddit’s power-mod problem.
Same.
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.
One of the only names in this thread I recognize
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?
Why wouldn’t you? She’s awesome.
Either you‘re way less popular than you think of or a medical marvel you can still type after at least one headshot.
There are some infamous ones for the amount of misinformation they post.
It’s funny to see you comment here because I was literally coming to this thread to mention that I see you in seemingly every comment chain and thus consider you “Lemmy-famous.”
“Lemmy infamous” even
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 Captain Planet.
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.
because we all wanted to have one of those cool rings. i wanted weend so i could tornado my ass all over the place instead of having to ride my bike with no brakes.
I really hope Lemmy eventually gets significant enough attention that Whang! does a video about stuff that happens here, so I can hear him say your screen name out loud.
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world obviously
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.
What about for politicians who think your internet history should be public? ;)
NSFW:
Skip to the good bit:
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
Holy cannoli squid, don’t do that to your kid.
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.
I also get annoyed at lightning fast responses. And I agree 100%
It takes no time or energy to come up with one answer to a question. I’m fact, I think most humans’ brains are built for snap decisions like that.
But to weigh multiple answers against each other, poking holes in the answers you are most inclined to believe? That takes thought. And if someone is not doing that for you, then odds are, their brain is simply letting them take the discussion less seriously than your brain (or your morality) allows.
So I think you have every right to feel frustrated at such behavior.

Flying Asshole
Very much you saying Pot meet kettle
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?
They’re**
Fuck.
Special shoutout to @ickplant@lemmy.world who’s on point with the opossum memes.
@Stamets@lemmy.world is quite famous in the Lemmy Startrek Lore, but less active lately probably due to big real-life changes happening, I wish them well.
The big changes are mostly just that I work new hours which are weird for lemmy posting. I’ve been trying to find a way to get back into it more easily. I do miss posting so much :(
Can’t say it’s not weird as shit though to think that that I’m even slightly “famous”
And I do appreciate it <3 genuinely
it’s probably best not to force it. Early in the Reddit migration, frequent posting kept people coming back, but you don’t want to turn it into “your” communities. Shifting to quality over quantity is never a bad move either :)
Thank you for your work!
No problem and glad to hear you’re still around! You were there with the memes and shitposts when Lemmy needed it most, I think that deserves recognition. Keep taking things at a pace you feel comfortable with, your life comes first.
Tens of thousands of people know who you are. At least your online persona. And generally think good things about you!
+1 for @ickplant@lemmy.world, they are the primary poster in all of the niche subs I creep.
Shout out to !raccoons@lemmy.world, !otters@lemmy.world, and !psychedelic_therapy@lemmy.world
Hear hear. For better or for worse those opossum memes really resonate with me
I dislike stamets because they responded to me in a toxic, rude, abrasive and above others attitude when I disagreed with them on their stance that spirituality and religon (which are seperate things) should be banned in the future entirely, it was related to start trek discussion
I disagree with that because I beleive people should have freedom to practice their religous beleifs or spiritual beleifs as long as they are not harming others
The harming of others should definitely be dealt with if someone does decide to harm others based on their beleifs but many people practice spiritual or religous beleifs without harming others
(Edit: Misclicked reply) the attitude part is pretty common for Lemmy users: passionate, with strong views enough to migrate away from the mainstream. You are free to dislike Stamets or anyone else. It’s still important to understand that nobody’s perfect, no need to have one’s flaws be used to tank the good accomplishments they’ve done for the platform.
The user with an AI copyright notice on every one of their posts is one of my favorite “gimmicks”.
Is it just one person? I tend to not read usernames. I just find that notice amusing as the only result it will have is that some ai-generated comments will one day start to have that notice in them as well.
I’ve seen at least a couple different users with that, but I wouldn’t be able to recall their usernames offhand.
The notice really reminds me of the Facebook chain posts where people would post a declaration saying that facebook couldn’t use your data/likeness if you share the post text.
If ai companies are unabashed about scraping and training on copywrited material from litigious companies like the nyt, I really don’t get how anyone convinces themselves that anything they append to their comments would stop a scraper.
Yes I’ve seen them too. Utterly pointless lmao
