Like users that are known for a gimmick or that everyone sees alot?
I see a lot of posts from @[email protected].
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?
Flying squid
but not in a good way.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No, because of how they interacted on this post

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
Be careful pointing that out on forums they moderate or they’ll ban you for “mod harassmenr.”
Power users and power mods are cancer.
Maybe its just me, but I see @[email protected] moon a lot. They post sovereign citizen stuff, which is what i see regularly, but they are also a pretty good poet.
I am actually not a poet, I just find good poetry. Thanks!
The poetry is fantastic! Thank you for posting it.
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.
FlyingSquid(I don’t know on which instance he is, but you see him quite often).
FlyingSquid seems to have alot of accounts on different instances
I hear academy award nominated actress margot robbie is here sometimes.
Well, just as long as we don’t end up stuck with george clooney…the smug bastard.
Not real, isn’t it?
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.
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 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
I’m sure I’m famous because I’m allegedly a Russian troll and a Nazi sympathizer that promotes slavery in China because I eat chocolate sometimes.
Quite the character, huh?
No love for @[email protected] ? They’re not always the best troll, but man are they prodigious.
Perhaps it’s just that their username is unforgettable, so you notice it when it appears. Definite Rimjob Steve territory.
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.
If you vote me down, I shall become more famous than you can possibly imagine.
@[email protected] is a meme god.
@[email protected] keeps history alive and the Confederacy in check.
@[email protected] is our resident owl afficionado.
There are many others, of course, but I seem to notice these three a lot in my Subscribed feed.
@[email protected] and @[email protected] both post a shitpile of news articles.
My dear, sweet @[email protected] posts so many science memes it makes my head spin
Along with those already mentioned, my personal heroes are people who keep communities alive:
@[email protected] posts comics daily to [email protected] and others
@[email protected] keeps [email protected] going
@[email protected] posts regularly about [email protected]
@[email protected] has been killing it on [email protected]
@[email protected] obviously
Is that the actual actress? If so, how the fuck did she wind up here?
It’s obviously the real actress. Who else would it be? Do you think someone on the internet would just pick that name to use if it isn’t theirs?
Special shoutout to @[email protected] who’s on point with the opossum memes.
@[email protected] 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
@[email protected] 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.
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.
