I wish I could remember anything about him besides his username, I remember making note of the sheer volume of posts he made, but I can't for the life of me remember the content of the posts or how I felt about them either way

Wasn't he the user who debuted those sci-fi novels a few years ago or was that someone else?

god damn why are there 140 comments here

I've actively been on this site for 4 years and would consider myself a very online person. I honestly can't remember anything in particular he said. I'm not being tryhard nonchalant nor do I mean it as an insult to him. I guess I remember the name fondly?

I guess my thoughts are just 'i recognise the name, and I remember them being eccentric/amusing in general, then they went and started a new life on a farm? Or something?'

EDIT: maybe this came off as overly negative/judgemental. I've had times in my life where I knew everyone on a little forum, although said forum was all about getting to know each other rather than politics. Still though, I think for a lot of people here touching grass would be good. Don't bother with online arguments. It's the biggest waste of your time and energy, even if it's 'fun' in the moment in a sick sort of way. It's taken me a long time to realise that. Pretty funny that Ulysses became the ultimate grass toucher in the end.

To be honest, I wish hexbear had a way to properly get to know people better. I've been here for 4 years so obviously I like the atmosphere that everyone here co-creates. Opsec be damned, hey. We're all probably annoying in real life anyway.

see, this is why I delete my accounts whenever I feel like people have a solid idea about me (I keep an expanding block-list though) - If I could, I would be a ghostly presence in the walls (stealing your non-vegan milk)

also, sometimes I get the internet bugs and need to reset my brain

Personally we should put @UlyssesT@hexbear.net in Lemmy, as a love letter to all the good people of .world and sh.itjustworks
