This one believes it has seen you speak of this in the wild previously and was curious then, and now, as this one as at least passed you more than once, may it ask if there is a reference for entities that are online?

I’m sorry, I don’t think my English is that good. Can you explain it more simply for me?

[–] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

English is my native language and I still have no idea what the fuck that person is saying. I know 2 other languages and the post as written doesn't make sense in them either. I think they start off by saying they've seen you talk about this elsewhere on Lemmy. After that, the closest guess for the last part I can come up with is they might be asking for your name, but I feel like that's probably not right.

Well, I’m Tanis Nikana, it’s right there in my username. It’s also just my name. Never really imagined up a username for myself.

Maybe they’ve seen me in real life? I have no idea, they’re not too clear with that. There’s a lot of people I see in real life. I perform on a stage once or twice a week, and I’m trying to get my art out into the world more.

No, just noticed you around. Mentioning the pronunciation of your name in comments caught its attention, because up until it saw you saying something, this one thought it knew how to say "Tanis", but perhaps it is mistaken.
