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.

I'm glad to see some of you have really gotten impassioned about them that you come check them out every day. I've learned so much along with you guys doing this, and I has a lot of fun now working with animals from inspiring myself to do it bringing you all these photos and facts every day.

Remember FlyingSquid?

On reddit there were powermods, who manipulate hundreds of subs by removing posts that made good karma and then reposting them themselves and removing any kind of unwanted discussion (backed by the admins).

On the fediverse, we have power users that seem to post a lot, but it's mostly because nobody else wants to post for some reason (not counting news comms that use bots or scripted users to automatically post).
Sometimes a mod powertrips or we learn that someone is trying to manipulate a comm, so usually the instance owners just kick then out... And if it turns out they are backed by the owner, then people call it out and usually the instance gets defederated.

There are consequences in the fediverse, so mods/owners are usually more careful about it and the power posters don't go around removing posts to pass then as their own to farm karma.
