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 wouldn't know what I'm recognized for, if at all. It could probably be many things. Being nice to someone, being a tool to someone, saying something funny/smart, saying something stupid/ignorant. Y'all tell me 😆 I'm sure they're all correct.

Very spaced out aquarium content maybe? Probably not at all.

I'm like the middle child of a large family. Maybe some people know, most people don't. Those who do know me are like "Yeah, they are great at something."

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 month ago

I have no clue.

Gee noone woulda guessed you were pro China. I wonder what gives it away 😭

[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure?

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Nothing I hope. I can't imagine I've done or said anything noteworthy enough for this.

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 month ago

Mostly I try to make people laugh, but more of an awkward laugh.

There's only one person in this entire thread I recognize so far, and it's not for particularly good reason.
