I've been told that I should let the world know "Darth" is on the Fediverse at:

➡️ @darth

If you're wondering "Who is Darth?" there's an attached excerpt from the only article I could find explaining them.

(The original article link is
washingtonpost.com/news/arts-a but apparently this is showing up as a paywall for some people.)

Who is Darth? The short answer, for ye uninitiated, is that he or she is an anonymous master Photoshopper who can churn out memes on a moment’s notice — a sort of conduit of the Internet zeitgeist, if you will. The account dates back to 2007, but didn’t pick up steam until roughly the time of the 2012 elections. Since then, Darth (or “Darthmaspotato,” his current nom de plume) has developed a few great shticks: mashing up movie posters with current events, for instance, and adding Christmas hats to his followers’ photos on request. Often, Darth’s humor is obtuse. The account descends, at least in part, from a much-debated cranny of the Internet called “weird Twitter,” an eclectic, acquired-taste comedy subculture that delights in the nonsensical, satirical and surreal. Like much of the Internet, it’s one of those things you either get or you don’t. A lot of people, this author included, don’t particularly “get” the appeal of @horse_ebooks or @hell_homer. But Darth is generally more accessible — I mean, everyone gets cats.
