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 don't want to be remembered at all. If I'm being remembered it means I'm dead.

Mostly lurk, so unlikely. Changing domains when lemm.ee closed down doesn't help, either.

Me neither. If one day, you recognised me tell me. I'll do the same for you.

I feel like the only things I might be known for are whining about Lemmy not having enough content, and saying tea is salad water.

If I had to guess, if I'm recognized at all it's probably either for my semi-regular nonsense ask lemmy questions or my nipples

The karma system was kinda nice and having a old account felt somewhat rewarding on reddit. Lemmy rewards anonymity because I can create new accounts without losing anything of perceived value.

You tell me, I don't think lots of people remember me (except the angry tankies ^^).

Probably for being an overly opinionated dick.

That’s how I think of you. Although I don’t think of you. But I recognize you!
