What’s the most bizarre thing you have seen on Lemmy so far?

the dude trying not to shit

My curiosity is piqued, mind giving a link?
- This one
  And then the same dude asked...

Marxists supporting Putin and his war

Marxists? Got a link?
- Any comment by someone from hexbear.net when Ukraine is brought up.
Basically r/TheWayOfTheBern found their way over to Lemmy
Tankies are like cockroaches

The other day, I saw an A-list Hollywood actress going around Lemmy shitposting and promoting her latest movie on Lemmy.

She's obviously very talented and very hot and deserves to finally get an Oscar this year, but I would say it's pretty bizzare.

Also she's now the top mod of !android@lemmy.world for some reason.

- You know, come to think of it, how do we know you're the real Spider-man and not some imposter?
Wait is this some sort of joke I'm not privy to? That's not actually Margot Robbie right? I can never tell what's real on the internet nowadays.
- Of course I am, why would Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie go on the Internet to lie to you? Because she thinks messing with a bunch of tech people on a niche forum is hilarious?
  That would be pretty bizarre.
- Tell that to my publicists, please.
  They'll throw a fit if they find out about this.
As a gay guy, Margot is pretty hot, but she's no Robert De Niro.
- Ahem. That's Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you.
  It's because of De Niro's 2 Oscars, right? 😭
- As a straight guy, Margot Robbie is what I think of when I need my dick to unwind
is there proof that's her??
- Maybe I can buy a blue checkmark or something here.
- Considering the profile pic is ai generated, I highly doubt it

A dude asking how to remove a cock ring on the lemmy.world support page

So did he ever get it off
- Post was removed before we knew.
- I mean, I'm guessing he got it off before he realised it was stuck.

Beans. Lots and lots of beans.

lemmy.world blocking access to some of their biggest communities.

I only know about piracy. What else did they block access for?
- They defederated from dbzero which I believe has other large 'communities'

The guy who designed the Debian logo showed up

Your Username

Also usernames that are just emojis. That's just so odd. I'm not even sure how to think of their username in terms of pronouncing it.
- I pronounce it as "that guy with the emojis as a username"
- Interesting fact. The Unicode Consortium, which defines what is an emoji and how they are encoded in text, has an official list of descriptive short names for almost all 3k+ of then. So although they don't have pronunciations, they do have names.
- I mean, I knew a reddit user whose name wasca string of uppercase Is snd lowercase Ls.
- Praise be Eternity/Infinity for only displaying the actual username

This reply you’re reading right now being downvoted to oblivion using a supposedly unwanted karma system.

Expressing our dislike is not the same as the karma system. My profile does not have a score that communities will use to discriminate against me and stifle my comments because I'm not popular enough. We should be able to express our dislike without having a giant thread of arguments over it.
- Exactly; the main point of karma for Reddit doesn’t apply here, and there are options in apps to just show total score.
  I use downvotes for two things: the person was, needlessly, a jackass, regardless of whether they’re right, or they’re wrong in such a way that I don’t have the energy/ability to sort that out (or just trolling). I’m sure others do the same for me, and that information should be available to others.
- How is this so? Everyone here has a karma score. I see mine, and everyone else’s when I look at their profile.
- Comments are still sorted on a post based on its points, hence it’s technically karmic. And would ya look at that, the seemingly-innocent-enough (to not expect fate to oblige) comment was no joke. It’s almost as if the originating source of visibly expressed opinion on a predictive basis works for me.
- It’s still based on the karma system though, enough that many dub it one.

The CIA setting up a base of operations on here and strawmanning the left. You can even see it here already. Well, I suppose the CIA disrupting leftist spaces isn't all that bizarre.

- You haven't run across a post screaming about tankies or a strawman of leftists supposedly supporting authoritarian governments? Jesus must be your roommate under that rock in which you live.
- I honestly thought you were referring to the Jesus. The horrifying part is that it did not seem out of place with what he said.

A post touting rural and suburban North Korea as a capitalist-free, pedestrian friendly utopia full of happy people.
