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 have started to recognize a quite a few folks here and there. Most I recognize for good posts/comments. Even a few that I don’t necessarily agree with, but they are respectful and thoughtful in their replies.
A couple I recognize for not so great reasons, but this space is pretty small so I try not to block folks unless they are outright awful. For most in this category, I just tag and avoid replying to them in the future rather than blocking.

I mainly recognize PugJesus, SatansMagottyCumFart and like the other two or three lithuanians on here.
Nobody really knows me.
I recognize kolanki (I doubt I’m spelling it correctly, but the person with the large blue name), pugjesus, the picard maneuver, violet08, that fucking cm0002 with the 5,000 alt accounts, and that’s about it.
similar, but also Five and Cheese_Greater

kolanki (I doubt I’m spelling it correctly, but the person with the large blue name)
Also, I can’t resist: Every dog has his day.
(Kolanaki has a canine fursona.)
(Kolanaki has a canine fursona.)
I changed it recently. Still kind of a canine, but it is technically a Poon from Atlyss, though the race customizations have dog-like parts I used.
Poon is a very funny name. I really should start Atlyss today.
A few names here and there.
I recognize the person that runs my instance, and I recognize some names because a good amount of time a single user on here is the only one that keeps a comm active.
And I recognize some of the alts of users that I block.
Some peoples’ usernames stand out, for sure, for one reason or another. Mostly the big ones, they’ve all been mentioned here already, I don’t feel a need to mention them here again.
I feel… okay? with not seeing my own name mentioned here, but then again I don’t consider myself to be a power user or whatever. I mostly just like answering questions here.
Oh man, lots. Ada, Kolanki, WorldsDumbestMan, SatansMaggottyCumFart, Neidu, LadyButterfly, CaptainLezbian, CptAggravated, that one guy with the Chinese symbols whose mom is a piece of work, Stamets when he’s posting, Sunshine, Blaze, DistantSounds, Sodalite - the list goes on and on.
I may spend too much time here, lol.
I also recognize a lot of those, damn lol
I use voyager and don’t see display names, but I’m willing to bet the person with a Chinese display name and shitty parents is @DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works
Clearly I also spend too much time on here lol
Yep, that’d be them! Always forget your display name and user id can be different (know there’s someone who uses this to hilarious [to giant nerds like me] effect by having it be [x]@threads.com or something)
xD
Since I got summoned by a @ , gonna infodump cuz why not lol:
Funny enough now that my mom went to China for a 1-month visit, and now it’s like 1 week in and I feel so sad about her absense from home…
The house feels so much more depressing… :/
I mean I guess this is a sort of “trial run” of what her eventual death would feel like…
Like… now I can call her… cuz now its just separated by an ocean, in this era, we have instantaneous communications…
someday it’ll be separated by a barrier between the mortal realm and… whatever world beyond… the afterlife… spirit realm… or whatever…
I guess this is what my mom meant when she said she wanted to get married give birth to children… this same emptiness that I’m feeling…
I might never find love in life :(
Funny enough my older brother is also in China right now because mom pressured him to do marriage 🤣
(My parents are arranged marriage btw)
Oh remember you too, but idk what to do about your issues :/
I have minimum good advice besides patience is a virtue.
oof, that’s a bad hit buddy. love is one of those things where the more intention you put into looking for it the harder it is to find, other than arranged marriage. honestly if you’re that worried about it though, have you considered going that route?
also crazy you’re missing your mom that bad despite her abuse but I definitely get it. i was living with my dad for a while and he was moving out and I was staying and I couldn’t fucking wait for him to be gone up until the moment he was leaving I started crying really bad… did not understand those emotions at all but I often don’t.
hang in there ❤️
Oh hey I’m being recognized. I definitely spend too much time here. Also my teachers may have been right when I was growing up, I really don’t know how to shut up.
For what it’s worth, the recognition is “they seem to have a good head on their shoulders”
For me, one of the great things about this general style of “News Aggregation” social media is that it’s community/topic focused rather than being focused on individual personalities/identities. So, in that respect, I really don’t notice or pay attention to the usernames, aside from blocking/filtering out all the crumby people that make this place a much worse experience for me. Out of sight, out of mind, so I couldn’t even tell you who those people are.
aside from blocking/filtering out all the crumby people
I find that so strange. I never have blocked anyone on any platform and I have been doing that chat with people for a really long time. Like back in the bbs days. I have never found it necessary, and often find that I disagree with someone on one thing, only to find we have common interests elsewhere.
I see people say they block people a lot, but why would you do it? Does it really matter? Do you not simply skip over what is not interesting to you?
I’m probably just really good at identifying bad online behavior with people who will never ever contribute anything of value to me or the platform. If all they’re ever going to do is bring negativity and bad vibes, it actually saves me time in the long run to filter them out so I can focus on the actual decent people.
i only see username@domain.tld on my client but still remember quite a lot of people. I guess like 10 or a bit more.
I’ve been here for 2 years and I only recognize violet08 and the_Picard_maneuver. Oh and Nicole, the girl with glasses who wanted me
Stay away from my girlfriend
*our girlfriend
I worry about becoming too recognizable because I have an unconscious bias to begin self-censoring my harsher opinions once I begin to “know” people in the online space. I prioritize people’s feelings over being right, and that can cause me to sugarcoat too often when someone I like says something truly tonedeaf or unintelligent.
I just wanna be able to say “The US is a fucking third world shithole” without some American acquaintance giving me the 🥺 and making me feel like a bastard man about it lolol
We all know it sucks here, you can say it!
The only thing that annoys me personally is when people start implying that it’s like, my fault as someone who was born here
Recognise a fair few that have been mentioned. Oh, also that Hossenfeffer chap but he’s a bit of a pillock.
There’s a few regular posters I enjoy seeing, especially some folks in the !birding@lemmy.world community.
