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

    Fully-qualified usernames:

    There’s the guy who uses thorns (who I have tagged as Nigel þornberry)

    That’d be @Sxan@piefed.zip.

      þat is indeed þe guy

      I also love how bent-out-of-shape people get over the thorns.

      I haven’t stalked his profile, but I feel like every time I’ve seen him come up he’s also seemed like a pretty cool and reasonable dude (I suppose it’s possible he’s off being a dick in the parts of Lemmy I don’t frequent, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt)

        I have snarked him about it, myself. I have no objection to overtly affected personal expression (no hypocrite I). It’s just that reading a thorn unexpectedly feels like stubbing my toe, but in my brain.
