I recognize a lot of people, both good and bad. When someone stands out I set a note for them in Lemmy, so I can see them more easily. So far in this thread I see [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] - all fun and awesome from my experience.

Has replied to me mentioning him so he's definitely the most memorable
Sometimes I read a completely wild take and then notice it was @[email protected] and just give him an upvote
Depends on four factors (theory):
- You have profile pictures on
- Your App shows the emoji characters in display names (ugh (my reaction has no reflection on the quality of their posts, it just annoys me))
- You reply to the same person more than a few times
- You proactively read usernames as you read comments/posts
The last one is key. I think most people skim right over them, which makes the first three important.
Not really, because I normally don't even look at or register usernames unless I emphatically agree or disagree with a post. I've been doing this for years, first on forums, then on reddit and now here. I don't want to be biased against the content of the message just because I like or dislike a particular poster, so I mostly ignore usernames altogether.
Connect lets you tag people, witch helps with recognition. Both in positive and negative sense. I usually tag people before adding them to my ban list, to see if their behaviour is coherent or a fluke.
Aside from that there's a couple of names that I recall through their frequency of posting or a very specific name, such as Mr cumfart, flying squid, pugjesus and Picard. Otherwise I sometimes recognize names, but not in a way I would recall them.
I always check people's comment history before I block, to see if they are always a jerk or if they're just having a bad day.
I'm fairly certain that at least most of us that post at least semi regularly in tenforward recognize each other. There's a few doing a lot. My posts have dropped off lately because of creative burnout, though so I'm not around as much.
FlyingSquid mostly, and a few others. Not sure if I'd be able to spell all the others properly though, lol
I had to block a few who were spamming too much, but I've since forgotten their usernames.
Pretty often. People are still able to get fun usernames right now so they're more memorable
Craftyindividual, pugjesus, adjjj, nanoUFO, all the frequent content posters in the magazines I am interested in. Sometimes I recognize people by name who post less frequently or just by avatar in the sidebar when logging in.
I only know 4 or so offhand though there's probably more that I'm interacting with on a regular basis that I should commit to memory.
I recognize a handful just in this thread.
Hi familiar names!
Yeah, lots of them, but keep forgetting them from time to time... The dude with the huge ass font is the most remarkable to me.
I recognize mine. Pops up kind of often.
Yeah I think there're a few names I've started to recognise as regulars.
Not sure if they're literally in every thread or if I just have a load of interests cross over with them
A small handful. Especially those who post content a lot. But not a lot.
However, when reading comments, I only check usernames when I either strongly agree or disagree. Only outliers are identified; idle chat is visually anonymized by my having a very limited field of view.
I’ve already blocked military veganism (not the actual name but I don’t want them to accidentally show up) And I’ve noticed satansmaggotycumfart (or something similar to that) a few times
Unfortunately, yes. The vast majority of them are from shitty people that are on my block list. Only a few are just prolific posters, like Picard Maneuver and Flying Squid.
