    I see a lot of posts from @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world.

    They post good memes, insightful comments, moderates a few communities I think.

    probably not a real squid though, I don’t think they got internet in the ocean

      I am currently visiting some friends I’ve been talking to on a forum for years but have never met. We’ve all been really close despite that. It’s sort of a three-day forum party and it’s been amazing.

      Why do I bring this up?

      I needed a shirt to wear for the first day so I didn’t have to keep telling people who I was and I found the perfect shirt. (Excuse the crease, I took the picture the day after.)

      Edit: are the downvoters disillusioned by the revelation of my false endoskeleton?

      I have seen their name a lot, and though I think I share similar opinions with them on a lot of things, I find they tend to be more condescending and insulting for my particular preference.

        He also uses the fact that he is a mod to bully people. He just holds it over the conversation at times to force it to go the way he wants.

      Checks community’s modlist

      I’ve seen them a lot as well, but personally in my interactions, I’ve found them to be abrasive, narrow minded, and eager to take things personally. Lowkey don’t mind that, it’s not the internet if everyone is some polite bland npc.

      But add mod powers for many communities and…

        I’ve seen them goad people into arguments and then smugly mute them and tell them they need a timeout lmao

          Or arbitrarily ban them all together. My favorite is still baning for tos violation then leaving said violation up

      I dislike flying squid because of how they interacted on that one post with comic involving double standards on pictures of children

      Denying people’s trauma and right to not have those images be shown to others without permission is not a nice thing
