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

Fully-qualified usernames:

There’s the guy who uses thorns (who I have tagged as Nigel þornberry)

That'd be @Sxan@piefed.zip.

    þat is indeed þe guy

    I also love how bent-out-of-shape people get over the thorns.

    I haven't stalked his profile, but I feel like every time I've seen him come up he's also seemed like a pretty cool and reasonable dude (I suppose it's possible he's off being a dick in the parts of Lemmy I don't frequent, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt)

    I have snarked him about it, myself. I have no objection to overtly affected personal expression (no hypocrite I). It's just that reading a thorn unexpectedly feels like stubbing my toe, but in my brain.

    It's harmless but it's deliberately antisocial which rubs people the wrong way. They're going out of their way to make their comments harder to reader.

    I've never had a bad interaction with them but I do think it's kind of obnoxious attention-seeking behavior
