We're a small tight knit community. We see the same names everywhere. I'm sure many of you have been recognised by strangers before.

What is your claim to Lemmy fame.

I talk about Marxism-Leninism a lot, that's about it.

Mostly sharing pictures of these 2 idiots.

.

Either they are Egyptian gods. Or they are planning smth sinister. Idk which, maybe one each? That white one is the sinister one I'd bet

I always enjoy your contributions.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 8 hours ago

Thanks buddy <3 I try my best to not have them all be shitposts. Or at least contain those to the right community lol

5 worthy reasons!

[–] percent@infosec.pub 1 points 1 day ago

Probably nothing. I generally don't draw much attention to myself.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Cooking and getting riled up by tankies I guess.

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don’t think I’ve been here long enough to be recognized.

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 20 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm not popular enough to be recognised

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Hey, it's you! Cool!

[–] toothpaste_sand@lemy.nl 9 points 2 days ago

Oh, wow! A post by @ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com! Those are always pure gold.

I don’t like being yelled at.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Hey. Hey you. As your attorney I advise you to buy a pocketknife. Preferably a really strange one.

Amazing how many names here I recognise! I doubt I've personally made a super significant impression outside a few arguments 😂

[–] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I highly doubt i would be recognized by anyone in any meaningful capacity. To draw attention and get internet clout you need to be a hyperactive poster, a mod for an active community, or engage in a little politics/drama otherwise nobody notices nobody cares. Im just some guy who says things and post whatever.

Lady butterfly is for example responsible for keeping Lemmy wholesome.

Blaze is posting meta stuff quite often.

The Picard Manoeuvre is the first Lemmy celeb for his accomplishments in memes.

Many names I can mention.

[–] LadyButterfly@reddthat.com 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

@Blaze@piefed.zip @blaze@lemmy.zip @The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world well deserved recognition of your brilliance
