Flying squid spends their entire life here as far as I can tell. And just about every major news sub is owned by Jeffw. This place has like 400 active users tops.

Unfortunately, yes. The vast majority of them are from shitty people that are on my block list. Only a few are just prolific posters, like Picard Maneuver and Flying Squid.

Oh my, a real who's who, I recognize most of the names mentioned too. But let's be fair, they post stuff while many, myself included, just comment.
Too bad I just use my game name for this, haha
No.
I don't check usernames 🤷
Yes. Aside from the friends I've made on here, which I rather not disclose, I regularly notice the following usernames:

Pretty often. People are still able to get fun usernames right now so they're more memorable
The rest of these comments are surprising because I don't remember anyone past an interaction we had. Now I'm wondering whose shit list I'm on
Mine 😈

euphoric cat.
edit: app devs and instance admins too sometimes
@[email protected] has a distinctive profile picture, and I see them everywhere. Also I suspect I know @[email protected] IRL, but I'm not certain.
I know it's bad to put your own picture in your profile, but I had to show you all how majestically I soar.

Also I suspect I know @[email protected] IRL, but I’m not certain.
I guess that's a consequence of telling the same anecdotes on lemmy and to everyone I see.
Yes, I recognize a few. I can't name them from the top of my head but I always remember them when I see them.
Yea, I see same people all the time, small world or small lemmy idk
There's a handful, yeah. Some folks are prolific posters. Others just have altered text I'm their name, which makes it stand out enough to recall easily.
But generally, it takes extended interactions to remember a user name for long.
^^^ This is the one I recognize. There's just so many times that I see a kind, well thought out, informative comment and it's got southsamurai's name above it

Plenty. In fact it's something I enjoy from here, reminds me of the old internet. It also feels less full of randos than Reddit, although in smaller communities that wasn't a problem.
Honestly the profile pic helps a lot.
I only know 4 or so offhand though there's probably more that I'm interacting with on a regular basis that I should commit to memory.

Lemmy's still small enough that if you're even remotely active, you start to recognize just about everybody. I like that, and I kinda miss that about the smaller communities/forums of the old internet.
jots down your username
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Definately gonna follow this guy around Lemmy and make completely innocent remarks, that are in no way insulting or aggressive.
But with Lemmy being so small, and me having said that, he's now going to wonder if I actually AM following him around Lemmy. Or is it really the coincidence of Lemmy being so small.
However I post so often everywhere that it's bound to happen. And he's going to be like "OH MY GOD DUDE!!! IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS!!! STOOOOOP!!!!"
And 5 minutes after posting this I will immediately forget he exists. Thus making him look like a crazy person from my perspective.
See? This is how you troll yourself. Start by having insane thoughts, follow up by acting on them, then forget the whole thing, and be confused by the consequences of your own actions!
And thus, I learn absplutely nothing!

Yeah I think there're a few names I've started to recognise as regulars.
Not sure if they're literally in every thread or if I just have a load of interests cross over with them
flying squid, return2ozma, jeffw, and that raging moron Stern is about it for me.
Yes, I see a good amount; I also try to interact with them as well!
I have a few admirers; they make sure to share their opinion on some of my posts; making sure I am not lonely, how thoughtful!
It is always a great time when you recognize some peeps, and then there are some that are just 'Passin' Me By'[1]...
