I, for one, still believe Stamets and Violet are the same person. Have you ever seen them in the same room together at the same time?? Checkmate!

I enjoy the posts, I’ve just always assumed this is another user doing a bit though — which is fine
All the better if there is a real person behind this, it gives me some hope for the younger generation, and I hope nothing you encounter here makes you regret sharing who you are and what you’re going through.
But you’re in a community that is skewing older and more early-internet, and thus most of us find it prudent to pretty much assume every identity in a community like this is partially or largely fake. I am, for example, a 4 year old Australian Shepherd in real life and my human has no clue.
Real or fake, I enjoy my game of “Stamets or Violet” every time I see a horny or uncouth post.

This is like the second or third time I’ve seen this Stamets person mentioned, as if everyone knows who they are, but I’m clueless. I figure I’d better ask now before it gets even more awkward - who is Stamets and what’s their deal?

Idk what his deal is officially, just that if I find a meme especially relatable on a neurospicy level, it’s him 9/10 times. And that he kinda likes Star Trek.

I’ve responded to and had Stamets comment on some of my posts. Don’t know anything about Violet

Hi.
I post a lot.
I started posting about 3 years ago to another instance before moving to lemmy.world and then shifting over to lemmy.dbzer0.com. I’m gay and a massive die hard Star Trek fan. I also post a fucking lot, way more in the past that I currently do. The things that I do post to shitpost communities are pretty gay or pretty horny and have similar vibes to the stuff that Violet apparently posts.
I’ve been called a power user (which I hate), a lemmy celeb (which I hate even more) and an asshole (which is accurate). Someone also accused me of being Gallowboob (a very prominent redditor) once which was kinda funny. I’m just a known quantity.
Agrivar@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Neat! A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
I’m straight and not much of a Trekkie, so that might be how I’ve failed to notice your posting thus far, but I do love a good shitpost! I vibe with your feelings about being a power user or lemmy celeb, and being a reddit refugee, I find it amusing that you were accused of being Gallowboob!
deacon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I see you as having no reddit parallel. You are singular and we have no need of such comparisons.

You’ll never know either

Well a useful tip is that I don’t post in this community or to any Lemmy.world communities anymore lol

On the internet everyone knows you’re a dog if you’re from pawb.social at least.

Looks concerningly regardless of instance
