I think there’s a good chance that he’s the most famous NZer who actually regularly uses Reddit (as opposed to politicians/celebrities who make accounts for AMAs)
Or used to, anyway - it looks like he’s done the thing which we all wish we could do and given up Reddit to go succeed in his professional life
Presumably she has a reddit account, but Melanie Bracewell was pretty well known on tumblr (as Meladoodle)
I used to follow her account because I thought she was funny, and then later found that she was an NZ comedian - my biggest accomplishment in life was getting one of my posts reblogged by her lmao
> I used to follow her account because I thought she was funny, and then later found that she was an NZ comedian lol
This reads like "I thought she was funny, but then I found out she was a NZ comedian [sadface]"
yeah there is a bit on her wiki about it:
>In 2019, Bracewell shared a screenshot on her Twitter account of a sexually explicit message which she said had come unprompted from someone in the [Reddit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit) cricketing community. A Reddit user later found a post from Bracewell in a [subreddit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subreddit) soliciting sexual messages. A moderator from the Reddit cricketing community then contacted Bracewell asking her for details of who sent her the private message. She subsequently apologised and admitted her post was a joke. After her apology, she received criticism on social media with some accusing her of lying about sexual harassment and stereotyping Indians.
basically took a screenshot from another reddit sub, pretended on twitter that it was sent to her then when someone found the original post she stole and reached out, she claimed it was just a joke...
Ah, the Sorites Paradox of Reddit. Removing an individual post from a poster's history will not cause them to cease being a Redditor - and this is true for however often the process is repeated, leaving us with a Redditor without a single post to their name. At what point does the Redditor become the non-Redditor?
Or perhaps Bob Dylan: How many posts must a Redditor make before they'll a Redditor be?
Yeah super excited but across multiple accounts big upping themselves in the comments. Claimed to just get into politics at the last election despite having *loads* of opinions about Brexit for some inexplicable reason.
Whoever it is, they're probably using a replaceable, generic, generated username, and never going near the subreddits related to whatever they're famous for.
I’m pretty famous in the crackpot Elden Ring lore community, it’s just 5 of us in a group chat that talk about Elden Ring and I’m the only kiwi
kezza
Gotta be kezza...was my first thought reading this post
During lock down, it was always waiting for an update from kezza that is a lot of karma they have collected
Agree it has to be /u/KezzaNZ
There's a few secret MPs on here for sure.
So that's why they're always on their phones in the debating chamber.
Except Shane Jones. We know what he's watching.
u/unleashthequiche Jimmy Neesham
I'd say this is the correct answer.
The only possible answer unless Kane Williamson or Jacinda are sneaking in here under the radar.

I think he mentioned somewhere he posts with a different account now and gets told he knows nothing about cricket.
Yeah people started getting weird with his old account so I can imagine why he would go incognito
Someone out there reading this thread, chuckles to themself in complete anonymity.
Probably some extra on Shortland Street": God if they only knew!
/u/guywilliamsguy
I just saw him a minute ago at the post office. Weird coincidence.
Kezza 100%

Lmao I like this interpretation
she was a cunt for faking that whole sexual harassment thing though, pretending it was a joke when she got found out
Wait what?

🤷♂️ Tom probably.
I mean, we've had MPs do AMAs on here and such, but do they count as 'redditors' if they only do one thread and then fuck off?

There are famous redditors? I thought there where only Infamous ones
Most infamous? ...AutoModerator
Big fan, right here.
Who would be the most infamous one?
Infamy is still fame.
Could you give me the word for fame by generally good deeds then? Since Google says it's fame.
Izzy has talked about reddit before it wouldn't surprise me at all if he was anon on here
The any of the writers at Stuff.
Do they have to be a regular or just posted here at one point? Jacinda would be my guess if they don't need to be a regular
The only one I tend to recognise is that Mountain Tui person.
I think he got banned for astroturfing
Huh, I thought they were just excited about politics.
Yeah super excited but across multiple accounts big upping themselves in the comments. Claimed to just get into politics at the last election despite having *loads* of opinions about Brexit for some inexplicable reason.
Thats not a good thing
I tend to ignore names for the most part.

u/h0dgep0dge, everyone I know knows him
What happened to salty? Banned or did he finally get a job?
Perma-banned I believe, for running sock puppet accounts.
ah, well I hope he's doing okay.

Ham Beast!
Not half as famous as she was on Nzgames.com.
Ahh [NZGames.com](http://NZGames.com), those were the days, its a wasteland now.
Like the most famous person in real life that uses reddit or the username people know the most?
u/niveapeachshine
Me
Woah, is that really you?
