There’s been a couple of minor dust-ups on mastodon about the conduct of so-called “big accounts” there that I do not care to comment on, but it has got me thinking — do we even have “big accounts” on the threadiverse (Lemmy/piefed/mbin)? I don’t think there’s any handle I’ve seen where I’ve been like “oh yeah, that person.” Am I just bad at remembering usernames, or does the community/thread style of discussion remove all continuity for a single account?
Some have already mentioned Lady Butterfly and other big posters who might not comment much but create the bulk of casual convo threads. Thank y’all for your service!
I’m a big fan of jankforlife, their posts always get downvoted to hell and back but they’re still at it, fighting Western imperialist brainwashing one shitpost at a time. 🤣
Then there are a handful of people who, despite our disagreements on certain let’s say not super important topics (at least not important from my side), I find very reasonable and pleasant to talk to so I tag them accordingly for easy recognition. I wish I knew how to find a list of tagged users so I could also give them their flowers but I guess I’m not that tech savvy. 🤷
Oh and I’ve also blocked someone who just never argued or even talked in earnest and I felt like they always replied to my comments in bad faith… on two separate accounts!
