So, when you remove what I assume is an announcement bot and lizard people from the equation, the answer is George Takei? Yeah, that sounds about right.

You are not gonna block the most popular man in the Fediverse, are you?
I couldn't find a blank version of this template with the actual background
Not only am I going to block him I’m going to defederate his whole deal.

Dumb question but why tf is threads part of the fediverse?
Embrace, extend, extinguish
Ans vacuum up as much user data as humanly possible
they can already do that really. Most of what you can do on the fediverse is essentially public.

They implemented ActivityPub 🤷♂️
Because that's the whole point of the fediverse, to be interoperable with other instances using an open protocol.
They apparently bribed some of the ActivityPub protocol developers and fediadmins into signing NDAs contracts with Meta.
Now FediDB is showing Meta as "just another fediverse" instance. Pixelfed is very happy to work shoulder to shoulder with Meta devs.

I'm sure those are all legitimate users who are very interested in what Zuck is posting....
Well @zuck (and @mosseri) are from Threads and, like @Mastodon, it makes sense a lot of people would first choose to follow the top leaders. I imagine the majority of those are actually legitimate users, though the Threads bubble also very quickly popped, so who knows how many are still active
This has the same vibe as MySpace Tom being everyone’s first friend.
Thanks, I hate it.
I will never understand why people follow "celebrities" on social media. Isn't life already forcefully inundated with these overly self-important assholes as is? This is the same to me as people who go on YouTube to watch commercials; I just cannot fathom the appeal
Depends on the celebrity. Neil Gaiman is actually pretty chill online. Takei too, but the amount of articles he posts started to annoy me, so I dumped him. I don't really know what people see in Zuck, though.

Could be worse.
Could be spez.
What does this even mean, I can't "follow" users on Jerboa. Is this some shit zuck added to his specific Threads then wanks about how he has all the followers?
Lemmy doesn’t work like that, lemmy is about communities and you can join communities here. But Mastodon, PixelFed and PeerTube don’t work like that, they are about people posting stuff and therefore you follow people.
Most Fediverse platforms have user following, Lemmy is one of the few weird ones that don't
Its fundamentally weirder and more problematic to build your news feed around people rather than topics.

Well, that disproves the effectiveness of that metric!
We all know it's really me. 😤
This is big Tom energy.
that zucks
I know this is not what post about, but it is so annoying to see :verified: in username. Checkmark cult.
We need 4 million bots to push arstechnica up to the #1 spot
Oh my! Why not Takei?
Oh nice, ZDF Magazin Royale has it’s own mastodon instance and janboehm on it
Who is this person named "cuck" ?
One of the most tragic scenes in Dune is when Paul Atreides realizes that Stilgar is no longer his friend but another one of his fanatical followers. Follower counts on social media really means nothing.
But maybe there is someone out there who refuses to participate in a broken system of a fantasy world, and instead decided to leave for a part of the Fediverse where their follower count is, and will forever remain, zero.
Like what Stereotypical Barbie did at the end of the movie.
