And the most popular man in the whole Fediverse is...

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.

Domain: threads.net

I'm sure those are all legitimate users who are very interested in what Zuck is posting....

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

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?

Could be worse.

Could be spez.

It should be stamets and the Picard maneuver

Well, that disproves the effectiveness of that metric!

We all know it's really me. 😤

George Takaei 420 nice..

This is big Tom energy.

Wer ist dieser Junge?

that zucks

Who is this person named "cuck" ?

I know this is not what post about, but it is so annoying to see :verified: in username. Checkmark cult.

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

We need 4 million bots to push arstechnica up to the #1 spot

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.

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

I live under a rock, so whats a threads and who is Mark Zuckerburg?

I gest, I really dont care that Mark is on the fediverse. Till my Lemmy instance is full of threads crap and I have to route via the Zuckerburg hive mind.

And i thougt i was following strangers
