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.

Should I know who Adam Mosseri is?

[-] [email protected] 49 points 3 months ago

Had to look it up, he is the head of Threads

You are not gonna block the most popular man in the Fediverse, are you?

[-] [email protected] 125 points 3 months ago

I couldn't find a blank version of this template with the actual background

[-] [email protected] 33 points 3 months ago

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?

[-] can 66 points 3 months ago

Embrace, extend, extinguish

[-] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

Ans vacuum up as much user data as humanly possible

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

they can already do that really. Most of what you can do on the fediverse is essentially public.

They implemented ActivityPub 🤷‍♂️

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Because that's the whole point of the fediverse, to be interoperable with other instances using an open protocol.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

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....

[-] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 57 points 3 months ago

This has the same vibe as MySpace Tom being everyone’s first friend.

[-] [email protected] 53 points 3 months ago

Thanks, I hate it.

[-] [email protected] 50 points 3 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

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.

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?

[-] [email protected] 68 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago

Most Fediverse platforms have user following, Lemmy is one of the few weird ones that don't

[-] [email protected] 54 points 3 months ago

Its fundamentally weirder and more problematic to build your news feed around people rather than topics.

Could be worse.

Could be spez.

Well, that disproves the effectiveness of that metric!

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?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Oh nice, ZDF Magazin Royale has it’s own mastodon instance and janboehm on it

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Who is this person named "cuck" ?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Pfft and by a good margin too. Real people or bots, it's pretty ironic either way. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
