There’s been a couple of minor dust-ups on mastodon about the conduct of so-called “big accounts” there that I do not care to comment on, but it has got me thinking — do we even have “big accounts” on the threadiverse (Lemmy/piefed/mbin)? I don’t think there’s any handle I’ve seen where I’ve been like “oh yeah, that person.” Am I just bad at remembering usernames, or does the community/thread style of discussion remove all continuity for a single account?
Sometimes I feel like I spend too much time on this site, so I’m pretty glad to not see my name popping up in any of these comments, ha. Makes me feel less like a dingle with no life. (No offense intended to heavy posters, I’m just referring to how I feel about me. I wouldn’t ever think someone else who posted a lot was a dingle with no life, because a lot of people’s social lives happen online and that’s okay.)
Same here. At one point, I tried to be known for providing a certain type of content here, to help fill out a then-quiet community. But I’m kind of glad no one really recognizes me until they see a post by me. I’m here daily, but I mostly lurk, so I don’t particularly want to wake up to hundreds of comments in my inbox every day.
And yes, I’m still trying to provide that content despite my apparent hiatus. I’m just dealing with seasonal depression (as well as all the national news drama going on in my home state 20+ minutes from my home), so it’s hard to get motivated to be creative lately.
I recognize your username, but don’t actually remember what type of stuff you comment lol
I can’t remember your username but i recognize your account, i see ya often
Lol, if anyone recognize me, it’s probably because I’m trauma-dumping on the internet again 🫠
I don’t reply to your content often, but every time I see your handle pop up I wish you well, just because I am unfortunately so personally familiar with the trauma-creating circumstances you’re dealing with. I wish you could see you as I see you: someone with something so completely different from their banal, cruel family of origin that they have no knowledge of what a truly gifted person they are just to be able to survive and even see past that shit. Good luck to you, and I mean that.
I actually enjoy many of your comments
I recognize your account and see you around a lot. I like your insightful posts, especially about Chinese language. I was just thinking about one of them earlier today, that country names in Chinese may predispose certain assumptions about the country like USA being written as “beautiful country” etc.
Nothing of consequence!
lol I feel like I’ve seen you name before, but maybe that’s just because active members here tend to stand out a bit? Anyway keep on doing what you’re doing. I love this place and I’m glad there are others who do too
People with a unique profile pic stands out more, or unusual characters like the big bold blue KOLANAKI
