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.
That character is almost literally on every thread I read.
Very present throughout. My top answer.
Very accurate and disturbing
I think that’s one of my earliest blocks. Lol.
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.
GallowBoob was more bot like. Did he really chime in that much?
Early on he would, but you are right I always suspected the account was more of a marketing firm of several people and the guy was just the public face of the account.
