    inb4 all the people who always show up to complain that we need famous people on here for anyone to give a shit about the Fediverse.

    Emphatically, I am here because it’s all just random weirdos.

      Mastodon has more of a flat structure and is designed to be more conversational which is why I think it hasn’t caught on amongst celebrities and the pundit class. It’s great for conversation but only so-so at self promotion.

      there is a ton of famous people active on Mastodon tho. George Takei. John Scalzi. James Gunn. Cory Doctorow. Charlie Stross. William Gibson. Ron Gilbert.

      Some left a year ago tho, probably for BlueSky, like Linus Torvald, Stephen Fry, Mark Ruffalo, Greta Thunberg, Felicia Day, etc.

      A bunch of official european channels too like the european commission.
