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.

      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.
