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.
This is big Tom energy.
We all know it’s really me. 😤
Thanks, I hate it.
This has the same vibe as MySpace Tom being everyone’s first friend.
I’m sure those are all legitimate users who are very interested in what Zuck is posting…
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?
Had to look it up, he is the head of Threads

I don’t like threads at all, but referring to Mark Zuckerberg and Adam Mosseri as “lizard people” is pretty antisemitic, especially since they are both Jewish people.
I’m guessing that you were unfamiliar with this antisemitic dogwhistle, but I also understand that’s the point of a dogwhistle - It doesn’t sound racist unless you already know about it.

Or just possibly it hasn’t got anything to do with Jewish people. This might come as a shock but not everything does.
This is from someone with a reasonable amount of that heritage telling you to shut the hell up already. You’re not the main character.
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.

You are not gonna block the most popular man in the Fediverse, are you?
Not only am I going to block him I’m going to defederate his whole deal.
Better change instances then…
Threads.net is now defederated on all instances I control.
Should probably disable PHP and HTML as well. I know Facebook uses both.
I couldn’t find a blank version of this template with the actual background
It should be stamets and the Picard maneuver
Stamets is annoying, I blocked them, but regarding Picard Maneuver I agree
Did he say something or just don’t like his posts?
