That’s fair. I probably was more combative than necessary so apologies for that. Still, I think the overall point is valid even if it was expressed poorly. The concept of celebrity in general is pretty obnoxious but applying it to an anonymous person, especially one primarily posting memes, is quite nonsensical. You may not have intended to play into that but many people do.
I’ve got no interest in trying to pretend that i’m celebrity on here. I post an enormous amount and because of that my name is recognized by a huge amount of people on here. That’s as far as I go. I’m not “famous” or a “celebrity” for posting here (I’ve been called both on numerous occasions from casual users to admins and the phrase doesn’t sit right with me either. I just post a lot. There’s nothing ‘famous’ about it and I’m not deserving of the “Oh wow Stamets is posting here!” which mods of multiple communities have done as well. I’m just trying to help Lemmy out and add more content and get more stuff going.

I appreciate it.
