You missed a great opportunity for an "Atlas shrugged" quip.

on the bright side, now I don't have to look at reddit or facebook.

besides, that's why I like fedimemes, bc it's usually fediverse-original.

I mainly wish people would add a little something if they did that. Some kind of context, or a particular bit of the articles they share that makes it significant to them, etc. Basically anything that would make it seem like a human posted and not a repost bot.

I pull a lot of my content from Facebook since most sources are photography hobbyists and charities, which just use that as a free quick and easy platform to reach the most eyes so they can focus on making content. But I try to contextualize what is going on in photos, can provide background to the species or the procedure being done, and answer any questions about things, which I feel is a good value add service by me sharing it here.

I will post things from my personal work too, but the animal thing isn't my day job, so other than my weekly clinic shift or vacations, there's only so many opportunities I get to shoot my own owl photos! But I still get to bring a lot of daily joy to people that won't touch those other platforms, and I add a lot of research and experience they wouldn't get by going to the original source.

There is still use being a straight content curator, but I think it's just really going the extra mile by adding something to it yourself that can enhance it.

You are an animal content machine! If I see an animal that I didn't post, I usually expect to see your name under it.

I get so overjoyed when you guys are able to post sightings of your own, and Lady Butterfly's Medieval owls the last couple weeks have been a nice addition as well.

You do a lot of great work as a poster and as a facilitator with getting the word out on a lot of things. You stepping up to do this macro level community building I think has really bolstered a lot of Fedi content, and I feel that's crucial to all of us having continued success as a platform.

Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for your continuous work on !superbowl@lemmy.world

Truly. When I see a cute animal pic, I'm surprised if you haven't posted it. Thanks for your work, it makes Lemmy a lot more enjoyable!

Of course! Your work as a whole for Lemmy aside, you've been a great help to me personally many times when I get frustrated at things here, so my success is at least partially attributed to your support to me and my fellow posters.

I had a great Sissy-phus joke lined up until I realized that's probably Atlas

Aww, thanks! I truly enjoy posting animal pics, and it’s nice to know it brings joy to others.

Missed opportunity with an At-lass pun

Thanks! I really try, and I love that Lemmy appreciates all the cuteness.

You really are, i love your posts thank you for continually making my day a little brighter

Thank you! I love knowing that it brightens your day, that’s exactly why I do it.

Thanks for posting!

I used to be critical of this but I've come around because:

1. Creating memes takes ideas/time.
2. My ideas are wacky and untested.

So I might spend 20-60 minutes making something only for people to hate it. (This happened a lot more often in the beginning because I was bad and my ideas took a lot of photo editing.) I still make memes when I think the idea is worth it. Of course, I could just pander to what I think people want to hear, but I make memes for more organic reasons than that.

Reddit still has an absolute stranglehold on !leagueoflegends@lemmy.world

Maybe I should take this opportunity to move the community over to piefed.

You're not unworthy, you fill our days with owls and we learn things everyday cause of you!

The game seems much less active nowadays, to be honest.
