    Special shoutout to @[email protected] who’s on point with the opossum memes.

    @[email protected] is quite famous in the Lemmy Startrek Lore, but less active lately probably due to big real-life changes happening, I wish them well.

      The big changes are mostly just that I work new hours which are weird for lemmy posting. I’ve been trying to find a way to get back into it more easily. I do miss posting so much :(

      Can’t say it’s not weird as shit though to think that that I’m even slightly “famous”

      And I do appreciate it <3 genuinely

        it’s probably best not to force it. Early in the Reddit migration, frequent posting kept people coming back, but you don’t want to turn it into “your” communities. Shifting to quality over quantity is never a bad move either :)

        No problem and glad to hear you’re still around! You were there with the memes and shitposts when Lemmy needed it most, I think that deserves recognition. Keep taking things at a pace you feel comfortable with, your life comes first.

        Tens of thousands of people know who you are. At least your online persona. And generally think good things about you!

        (Edit: Misclicked reply) the attitude part is pretty common for Lemmy users: passionate, with strong views enough to migrate away from the mainstream. You are free to dislike Stamets or anyone else. It’s still important to understand that nobody’s perfect, no need to have one’s flaws be used to tank the good accomplishments they’ve done for the platform.
