      They’re based on edit count and not something meant to be taken seriously. It’s not a rank either; you don’t gain any meaningful status by having more edits. I don’t get any money.

      Used it as a faux qualification here just to express that I’m experienced and qualified to answer dumb questions.

        Ok, here goes another - are you aware that I’m gonna tag you a senior wikipedia editor on my lemmy app and thus gonna be reminded of who you really are each time I come across you?

          who you really are

          I don’t think this actually gives you additional insight into their life, lol. We still don’t know the important questions: Do they fart when they sit down? How many chinchillas do they own? What’s their favorite medieval weapon? If they could en passant in real life, when would they use it?

            This is the guy that saved c/vegan on .world after the fiasco where the community basically imploded and moved to ML land. I’m not even a vegan (or vegetarian), but I know that :). Technician has done some Lemmy work.

              If anyone deserves credit for saving the comm, it’d be @[email protected]. She doesn’t post there anymore owing to disagreements with .world (now posting in other vegan comms), but for a long time, she was the beating heart of /c/vegan.

                Sorry for a second I confused sunshine and beaver and was gonna argue with you lol. I just remember you made a very sane first mod post there or I would have just blocked the community.
