Similar post was made on the .world lemmy community but I banned from there and some people don't federate world so I though I'd ask here too to see how the answers differ.

fossilesque is a big one for me that I didn't see in the .world post

I recognize LadyButterfly from /c/womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone but that's basically it

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 3 points 13 hours ago

She's cool, brings great vibes to the fediverse

πŸ‘‹You know it's bad when you start getting recognized on your arguing account

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That's also why having a dedicated arguing account is nice, and makes me question why I never do that.

[–] NotMushroomForDebate@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I thought that was what the .ml account was for, lol.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

It is, but having different usernames would help keep them separate, I just use the same username on different instances lol

[–] calmblue75@lemmy.ml 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Arguments kinda grab attention, you know?

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

I regularly see a surprising amount of lemmy neighbours by their names, but not by their profile pictures, as voyager does not support showing them

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Waaaay too many assholes from world and other trolls 😭.

But then there's also awesome ones like op, cowbee and others that balance it out

[–] calmblue75@lemmy.ml 6 points 19 hours ago

Hey, weren't you also one of those who were calling out .world on their zionist apologia?

[–] sgh@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Not a lemmy user to my knowledge, but for a while I kept finding various social media accounts for a specific user.

They were (maybe still are? No clue) a very active and knowledged user of cplusplus.com, and we had some mild interactions over time.

Eventually, for some unknown reasons I got suggested its YouTube channel with some Minecraft videos, its GitHub account, and I found some comments of theirs on some Reddit threads here and there.

They now work for a software development house of a relatively obscure product that I have used before.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I rarely recognize names besides a few horny people on the shit post community. I recognize a lot of profile pics tho since not many people on here have one.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

I think more people should decorate their profiles, I like getting an idea of who someone is from it. The details of mine change often but the vibes are always the same

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's always pretty hard to forget "satansmaggotycumfart". I don't really remember much of what they post but the name is always a trip.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago

From what I’ve seen, it’s pretty much what one would expect from a user named β€œsatansmaggotycumfart”; the Critique of Pure Reason as a lived experience rather than a philosophical exercise.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I recognise you.

For no particular reason.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Shhhhh, our time together was beautiful but it should stay between us ❀️

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm just not looking for long term committments is all. I hope you understand

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was hoping for more of a FWB sort if arrangement ... I know I could never compete with your other sharks

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

It was one night and they were high; you called it a week. This is why they ran away.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I always come on too strong, hoping upon hope another will feel equally passionately. Le sigh.

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Hey, maybe you’re just a Sharknado. Intense, a bit much sometimes, but for whatever reason people keep enjoying your presence. We love you best when you know who you are and embrace your foibles πŸ₯°

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 hours ago

Thank you, that's very kind of you to say so :-)

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago

I added the tag "tired" to somebody in one of those threads where people were talking about how to add tags to people, and I've completely forgotten why.

But, I see them every once in a while and have an "oh yeah, you" moment.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I recognize you! Lots of fun memes, comrade!

Also tons of Hexbear/Grad comrades, and a few common faces on Lemmy.ml. There are too many to really list out, and I'd feel bad leaving someone out accidentally.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You were the one of the people I thought of when I read the post title.

That and @yogthos@lemmy.ml and @geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml

@Alaskaball@hexbear.net. I feel like I get rid off a lot 🀣

@Dort_Owl@hexbear.net. Stinky owl.

@SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net. I just like SFS

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hexbear users are some of the most recognizable lol. I wonder why that is?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago

Nearly everyone on Hexbear has an icon and pronouns, which helps with recognizability!

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

Loud. Outspoken. Sexy.
