The threadiverse is small (compared to other major platforms) and I often see usernames that I recognize. How well do we notice each other around here?

I’ll start… my name’s “MrShankles” and I do be commenting/posting from time to time

    I specifically use this platform to fly under the radar, if anyone remembers me. I apologize. Im usually on the toilet waxing bullshit till my leg goes numb.

    I recognize a decent number of people, lots of famous frequent posters have already been mentioned but I also tend to remember trolls and people with bad takes.

    I don’t really pay attention. I come here to quip. It’s like a mental purge for me.

    The big ones I recognize:

    • SatansMaggottyCumFart
    • Stamets
    • The Picard Manuever
    • poVoq
    • PugJesus
    • fossilesque
    • Cowbee
    • ComradeSharkFucker
    • ThefuzzFurryComrade
    • lumpenproletariat
    • GodlessCommie
    • Bad
    • UniversalMonk

    There’s a few more that I can’t think of off the top of my head. It’s nice that the community is small enough to recognize people so often.

    I feel like I often recognize others, but I obviously can’t tell who I don’t recognize 🤷

    Never had anyone recognize me (I post and comment sparsely and in short bursts) but I recognize a lot of other names. Most of which I’m sure the average Lemmy user recognizes.

    There’s a few big names, I usually find it interesting seeing which instances people are on and whether they carry some kind of theme. The people in the Star Trek instance, forget the name, usually have pretty good memes for example

    I only tend to recognize the users I have assigned custom tags to. Usually to mark them as trolls or suspected bots, but sometimes just because they told a funny story or are enthusiastic about something specific.

      TIL you can assign custom tags to people… can users see what they’ve been tagged as?

    I tag users occasionally when they stand out to me, so I recognize those people but often forget why I tagged them as such lol

      Do you get occasional tag reset on app update or is it only me?

      Because of this I don’t bother anymore.

      I honestly thought I had tagged more users

      I mostly only tag users whom I read as reasonable enough to have a discussion with initially, but I’ve learned it doesn’t go well. And the booooooomer tag is for the prolific poster of boomer-ass memes.

      (The combination of green and a positive vote count makes it look like I might be down for Islamophobia, but I just wanted a different color and I feel weird interacting with someone’s comments/posts after I’ve tagged them, because I’ve essentially prejudiced myself against them, so if they’re positive when I tag them, they’ll stay that way)

        I hate that I instantly knew who you were talking about the moment you said boomer memes.

        I color my own tags based on an escalating system of good/bad impressions - so someone who posted questionable opinions or insulted other commenters once or twice gets a dull gray, a repeat offender gets bumped up to yellow, and someone who’s shown a long-term pattern of toxic behavior gets the dreaded red tag. I save blocks for people who contribute absolutely nothing positive to the Fediverse - I think I have a few hundred tagged users but less than a dozen blocks.

        Similarly, good posters go from white to blue to green, though since Voyager keeps track of and displays lifetime vote totals I only tend to tag the truly memorable posters.

    So far, nobody’s mentioned recognizing me, despite the fact that I feel like I comment a lot (an unhealthy amount, really).

    I’m not sure whether to feel insulted or relieved.

    I don’t recognise many, but there are a few that pop up regularly like PugJesus, Picard Maneuver and K O L O N A K I.
