Bro/sis is hogging instances for days
Who?
Never heard of him.
Hey, I know you!
Ah c'mon, you know!
Username checks out,
See that guy over there? Yeah....fuck that guy.
What did that guy ever do to you, hm?
Kbin! There are dozens of us! Dozens!!
Our boosts are our power.
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 🙄
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!
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.
Me too. I know me.
Yeah, you'd think so. But do you really? 🤔
Not me me, the other me. The lemmy me.
can someone eli5 please?
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.
i didn't notice your username so I thought this was about some technical issue with kbin and lemmy
Given the nature of the fediverse...
...it's easy to run into your own alt.
ohh it's their username, I thought this was some technical stuff
Ah yes that was the key info I was missing as well.
