The threadiverse is small (compared to other major platforms) and I often see usernames that I recognize. How well do we notice each other around here?

I’ll start… my name’s “MrShankles” and I do be commenting/posting from time to time

    What happened to flying squid? They had some health problems and then talked about moving and then disappeared.

      If you check in lemvotes you can see some activity from time to time, so I don’t think they are dead. It could be a federation issue but they at least appear to have logged in and had some vote activities in December.

      Regardless they did not have a healthy relationship with Lemmy. They were averaging something on the order of 15 comments, per hour, per day. That’s a comment every 4 minutes, all day, every day, for years.

      Idk. We should still probably build something to remember them by. Or to piss on, depending on how you viewed them. They were very political and were doing a lot of “pre blaming” for the, at the time, election which hadn’t happened yet. I think it may have broken them.

        They spent a lot of time traveling and waiting for medical tests and results with their mom. I attributed the activity to the stress and excess time on their hands.

      Last I saw, moved to the UK, was looking at getting a job there, and I assume stopped using the Threadiverse to dedicate more time to real life. Doesn’t look like he’s been commenting in a year:

      I told a member of an LGBT organization in York, UK that I would be happy for any help I can get regarding finding me a job above the UK family visa income threshold so my gay daughter can stay here longer than six months after he offered to look over my CV and give me pointers… for the glory of the empire?
