@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 4 months ago (1 children)

@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 49 points 4 months 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 43 points 4 months ago (9 children)

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 48 points 4 months ago

Also great contribution to make Lemmy a safer place

@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.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 90 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Also appears to be a genuinely witty, standup dude.

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 79 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (7 children)

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 31 points 4 months ago (7 children)

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.

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 27 points 4 months 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.

There are some infamous ones for the amount of misinformation they post.

[–] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 43 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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."

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