It's easy to find other Lemmy users IRL. Show up to any Linux meet up, and roughly 5-10% seem to use Lemmy.

[–] Maiq@lemy.lol 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well of course I know him. He's me.

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 1 points 2 weeks ago

No, I'd be extremely suspicious of such person.

no and i don't think anyone here is real. every account is a russian psyop bot trying to make leftists appear insane and stupid

[–] 667@lemmy.radio 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You were programmed to say that because I’m the only one that’s real.

[–] B312@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nice try bot, I’M the only real one here

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m not real, but in a figment of your imagination type of way.

[–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

I am real, but a bot is situationally reposting my stuff from other platforms to make me appear active here.

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Are you real? Is... is anything real??

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought we were all bots.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hmm. I thought I was a paid schill.

Still trying to figure out the getting paid part.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It depends on what you’re peddling.

MAGA gets paid in lies, and progressives in disappointment. Liberals and conservatives get a weekly stock tip call from Pelosi or Tuberville, respectively. Tankies get paid in vodka and cigarettes, and libertarians in crypto.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Really, this amounts to a question of who has recommended lemmy to others. Which is an interesting question.

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

It took 10 years to meet anyone that used Reddit. I assume it's gonna take another 10 to meet anyone on this platform.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

But even for reddit I only know a person in real life that uses it. I tried to convert him, he said "there are too many Linux apologists" 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I know more but they stuck with it for some reason. One friend may be on Lemmy too but I'm not giving them my username …

[–] AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I know your user name now send me $1,000,000 or I'm going to tell your parents

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

"apologists" lol, the implication that Linux is nefarious or a tragedy or something
