for example, certain accounts just show up everywhere and mods tell scary stories about them around a campfire roasting smores

some accounts genuinely are public figures in the fediverse

I don't agree with his takes but I do enjoy his history memes (even if I'm a bit tired of hearing about people's obsession with the Roman empire, lol), they have surprisingly taught me a lot.

[–] Maiq@piefed.social 4 points 6 days ago

Seconded, quality posting and his history comment explanation's are well worth the read.

FlyingSquid was a frequent flyer before I gather they left to chill in a different country.

FelixCress

Felix is this your alt account?

[–] M137@lemmy.today 11 points 6 days ago (3 children)

FelixCress is a shit person, either OP agrees with their views or it's an alt as you said.

[–] SatansDaughter@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

OOTL who's FelixCress and what did they do?

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They primarily post comics with either anti-vegan, anti-feminist, or for some reason anti-cyclist messaging.

Plus a ton of Jago comics that are drawn by a dude who clearly draws primarily porn, but with an added feminist straw man thrown in to make his points for him.

Oh yeah, now that you mention it I might have seen some of their posts, might even have blocked them honestly

Sorry, but I couldn't help myself, because to me these are legendary Lemmings ;)

[–] whelk@retrolemmy.com 5 points 6 days ago

This was my first thought reading the title

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 19 points 6 days ago

Whoever the guy was who posted about not pooping for a few days

[–] Weirdfish@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (2 children)

For sure the one with the pickaxe

And the one with the parachute

[–] quediuspayu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I loved how when the parachutes also were climbers their name changed to athletes.

[–] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I know DeathByBigSad's life story and internal turmoils better than my own at this point.

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

In terms of sheer output, ickplant.

[–] Maiq@piefed.social 10 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Ladybutterfly, launcheskayaks make me happy too. They provide a respite from the dreary content.

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 7 points 6 days ago

@ladybutterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone , you're appreciated!

[–] velma@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 days ago

Ladybutterfly is hands down one of my favorite contributors!

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Quality output too

  • BilSabab - prolific retro content poster

Takes more than to be recognizable to become legendary. This is such a small platform that it's easy to become famous by just posting a lot. Most regulars would recognize me too if I didn't keep abandoning my old accounts.

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

I wouldn't put in all this effort to avoid it if it was something I aspired to.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Specific to more furry sstuff, but definitely ThefuzzyFurryComrade(at)pawb.social

Had to remove the @ because it was turning it into an email address.

[–] velma@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago

Hellsbelle - she posts frequently and usually bolstering the news communities. Definitely a cornerstone of the site in many ways.

Posted a few questions more than a year ago invariably involving people being attracted to his sister or having to sleep in the same bed as his sister. Age of sister changed from post to post.
