In hindsight, I really wish I'd just posted this yesterday:
All of my best responses are well after I've already sent them.
It was a little bizarre that somebody took your name.
It really was, I'm still confused about it. Lol. They took my name an hour before I even knew aussie zone existed.
This whole time my eyes have autocorrected your username was miss dairy C....
Oh my god, I wish my username was miss dairy c. Haha. I may change it.
Wait wut? Far out. How do we know it’s really you?
Hahaha I honestly don't even know how to prove I am me and that is not me. Any suggestions?
I dunno, but that’s creepy and had to be totally intentional.
Also, theoretically, someone can have the exact same username on a different server or “instance” but that would show up as part of the username.
We could all register as MissDarylC and meet here as the DarylC collective hive mind.🧠
Yeah, it feels that way tbh. It feels personal and like it was directed at me, I just can't figure out why, all I did was whine about my life on the DT. Haha.
But you're all welcome in the MissDarylC club, there's only two of us and it can get a little lonely.
Maybe they're also called miss daryl C and always felt bad that they'd missed out on their name on reddit and weren't going to fuck it up again? What's the go @MissDarylC?
The possibilities are endless. Maybe their name is Dary and their last name starts with LC. The worst part is, I could've started a whole new username as the name is my name and I still went for the same name even after I noticed.
I went back to dumblederp (from sanemartigan). There's a few new names here. I hope to see some more old ones turn up.
Me too, there's a few missing people who I suspect never got a chance to even find out they were nuking the Melbourne sub, hopefully they're in the discord so they find out eventually.
I really LOVE the fact you can chuck photos and GIFs right on thread here.
I like it, but I also worry that it has the potential to take over the thread instead of actual words. I hope not, I like the discussion aspect. If the DT became overrun with memes and gifs like a Facebook page it would be a terrible loss.
yeah for sure, though some kind of hard sizing limit should be able to stop that. i feel like overall a couple of minor formatting tweaks would improve this layout a lot
I’ve never used Facebook but i see your point. I REALLY like it though. Sometimes words just won’t do for some shenanigans and I’m confident the clientele here would not abuse it.
