@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.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 71 points 1 month ago

@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

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 52 points 1 month ago

@PugJesus@lemmy.world has just completely become the account keeping historical memes and historical illustration communities going, which I very much appreciate.

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago

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.

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

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

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 50 points 1 month ago

Also great contribution to make Lemmy a safer place

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 month ago

Awww, thanks. It stands for "Divided by Zer0" btw ;)

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

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 90 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 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.

[-] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I had to ban him... Dude's got some serious issues.

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...

No love for @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world ? They're not always the best troll, but man are they prodigious.

[-] mke@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

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.

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

[-] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You do hits for $20 and even autograph the victims?

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

I was talking about signed photos, but we can discuss other options

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.

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.

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

The user with an AI copyright notice on every one of their posts is one of my favorite "gimmicks".

[-] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

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.

@mizu6079@lemmy.world for this post: https://szmer.info/post/423722
@MentalEdge@ani.social for running !dungeonmeshi@ani.social
@wjs018@ani.social for running !anime@ani.social
@NineSwords@ani.social for running !lightnovels@ani.social

P.S. Mizu's poop post is really nice study in how the content prevails in fediverse. The original post on lemmy.world throws an error, kbin.social that is linked in r/BORU@reddit.com no longer works, but I found a copy on szmer.info

Clearly me. I am a tiny little youtuber and streamer who wants this place to succeed, so I lurk, I post and don't have a presence on the big platforms.

So if I ever make it big, I can help drive users here. You just wait! It'll happen any day now!
