Do you recognise any usernames on Lemmy?
Although Lemmy's userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.

FlyingSquid is the only one I recognize and I feel like he's lemmys GallowBoob from reddit.
That character is almost literally on every thread I read.
Very present throughout. My top answer.
Very accurate and disturbing
Unlike Gallowboob, Flying Squid posts interesting things I genuinely enjoy instead of generic gruel obviously calculated to farm upvotes from the mainstream. Flying Squid is also an interesting and fun participant in the comments and seems like a pretty cool person, while I seen to remember Gallowboob coming off like he'd be an insufferable jackass in real life.
I don't remember him being like that early on so if he is/was it probably influenced from user interactions and let's be honest, people could be pretty toxic. I agree though about Flying Squid, they seem pretty cool.
I think that's one of my earliest blocks. Lol.
Ah really? He’s nice and thoughtful.
GallowBoob was more bot like. Did he really chime in that much?
Early on he would, but you are right I always suspected the account was more of a marketing firm of several people and the guy was just the public face of the account.
