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

    When I start recognizing a username it’s usually because that person is about to get blocked. Applies to quite many users mentioned here too.

    I think the small size of the platform is a bit of an issue in this case. The only way to not get “famous” here is by constantly having to make new accounts.

      I was thinking the same thing.

      The only usernames I recognise are the people I find insufferable.

      I used to think that blocking that type of person led to being in an echochamber. More recently I’ve decided that echochamber or not - my participation here is a lot more enjoyable without them.

      The thing is, if a user only ever comments “bUt ShE sUpPoRtEd GEnOcIde”, I’ve kind of received the message already so I can hang up the phone?

      I happen to recognize your username. Not for any particular reason, and you’re on +6 in my tracking, so I guess that’s a good thing
