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.

If anything, probably extreme pedantry

I wouldn't know what I'm recognized for, if at all. It could probably be many things. Being nice to someone, being a tool to someone, saying something funny/smart, saying something stupid/ignorant. Y'all tell me πŸ˜† I'm sure they're all correct.

Very spaced out aquarium content maybe? Probably not at all.

Cooking and getting riled up by tankies I guess.

Memes, a lot of memes posted to 196

And being banned from spaces for refusing to suck admin and mod cock.

I'm still salty about Ada banning me from the blahaj community here because I dared to call out her supporting trolls in the community over real users. -_-

She couldn't even ban me for pissing her off so she pretends it was because of gatekeeping.

I so desperately wanted to connect with other trans people here while I was going through this process, but unless you bend the knee to her petty bullshit about every issue Ada will ban you from everything she has power over.

Also got banned from db0 for calling out their recent trend of being tankie sympathizers and hosting .ml users to subvert instance blocks.

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

Mostly I try to make people laugh, but more of an awkward laugh.

There's only one person in this entire thread I recognize so far, and it's not for particularly good reason.

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.
