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.
So people calling the British royal family lizards are actually calling them Jewish?
I like lizard people being a term to put down the upper class.
Possibly. That’s basically what David Icke believes.
But I don’t think it is necessarily an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

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.
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?
We all know it’s really me. 😤
Could be worse.
Could be spez.
This is big Tom energy.
This has the same vibe as MySpace Tom being everyone’s first friend.
Thanks, I hate it.
I’m sure those are all legitimate users who are very interested in what Zuck is posting…
Domain: threads.net
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.
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.
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.
Not to normies who are people people and love short form posts by “thought leaders” or more realistically celebrities and corpo brands (like sports teams or Taylor swift) they want to ape or consume products of.
They never visited forums and got on the internet through mobile phones and Facebook, so the format of Reddit is strange and unfamiliar to them.
It’s always been this way and it’s why twitter was/is way more popular than Reddit, the naturally pseudonymous throwaway nature of Reddit accs made it all seem too impersonal for most people.
They probably see the internet as a whole as a negative and they think everyone is just there for ads and twitter and getting their dopamine systems hijacked instead of just actually wanting to be here and getting some kind of value out of it. All protests to the contrary are only seen as proof of their own theories.
Everyone who’s interested in tech be it fediverse, cryptocurrency or godforbid AI to them must be in it to make money because no normal person is interested in anything other than people and therefore must be a musk/zucc fan and is thus branded a tech bro.
These people vote in elections.
The combined powers of 10 burning man festivals couldn’t build a stawman this big
Found the norman.
Write another long winded essay about how you’re superior to hypothetical people who like different things than you. Shit’s riveting.
