Just 2?

(Some accounts are on instances that don't federate with Memes@lemmy.ml, so this is only a subset of my alts)

Hey, I know you!

Username checks out,

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

See that guy over there? Yeah....fuck that guy.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

What did that guy ever do to you, hm?

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Kbin! There are dozens of us! Dozens!!

Our boosts are our power.

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Lemmy doesn’t know about the boost.

I don’t even know what it is but I’ll boost ya.

If a famous person wants to do an AMA with the literally dozens of us here, I suppose they can register with their name on the top few instances and then it’s up to mods to ban pranksters impersonating them elsewhere?

There's that person going around impersonating Margot Robbie. At least there was, I haven't seen them in a while.

People seemed to love it, and most seemed to believe it was actually her. When I called them out (because it's really fucking weird), they kind of said it was just in good fun. I'm sure she'd agree 🙄

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes it would perhaps rub her the wrong way…

That user did do a good job of being in character, I thought. They would reference something like “everybody has to see my new hit film…” in a way that was over-the-top enough for to come across as a joke to me.

Perhaps we can both at least give them kudos for providing us an early debate point on the fediverse impersonation conundrum!

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

it was definitely meant as a joke, it just wasn't funny. It's like saying those half-assed "characters" in Times Square are funny when in reality they're just a nuisance.

[–] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, you'd think so. But do you really? 🤔

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Not me me, the other me. The lemmy me.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Kbin has a questionable track record of ignoring input from its users and also going offline for a day or more at random. So I created an alt account on Lemmy.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago

i didn't notice your username so I thought this was about some technical issue with kbin and lemmy

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Given the nature of the fediverse...

[–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

...it's easy to run into your own alt.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

ohh it's their username, I thought this was some technical stuff

[–] prole@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Ah yes that was the key info I was missing as well.
