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.

Dumb question but why tf is threads part of the fediverse?
swab148@startrek.website 11 months ago
They implemented ActivityPub 🤷♂️
FaceDeer@fedia.io 11 months ago
Because that's the whole point of the fediverse, to be interoperable with other instances using an open protocol.
vsis@feddit.cl 11 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.
RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Ah, that’s why I don’t see him, because I moved to an instance that fucking defederated that shit!
sweaterpuppys@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m sure those are all legitimate users who are very interested in what Zuck is posting…
WeirdAlex03@lemmy.zip 10 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
VelociCatTurd@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This has the same vibe as MySpace Tom being everyone’s first friend.
Vespair@lemm.ee 10 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
VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 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.
loutr@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Pretty sure Neil Gaiman is chill offline, too.
daltotron@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I mean, how else do you propose to organize the sea of information that the internet is constantly swamped in? Individual personalities work as a pretty consistently navigable waypoint and information gatekeeper, a pretty decent filtration mechanism. Most other methods are somewhat vulnerable to corruption over time, or are less consistent, or demand higher maintenance for different tradeoffs.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
On Twitter, I can see it. I always thought Twitter was a great place to do things like “Performing LIVE at the astro dome 2/31/2024! Tickets on sale now!” I could see following your favorite bands or comedians or whatever.
taanegl@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Thanks, I hate it.
Exusia@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What does this even mean, I can’t “follow” users on Jerboa. Is this some shit zuck added to his specific Threads then wants about how he has all the followers?
basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 11 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.
Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
Most Fediverse platforms have user following, Lemmy is one of the few weird ones that don’t
masterspace@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Its fundamentally weirder and more problematic to build your news feed around people rather than topics.
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
It was one of the things I don’t miss from Reddit. “u/PM_Me_Your_Spleen has followed you.” Peachy fucking keen, another dimwit for the block list.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Could be worse.
Could be spez.

It should be stamets and the Picard maneuver
ricdeh@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Stamets is annoying, I blocked them, but regarding Picard Maneuver I agree
MataVatnik@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Did he say something or just don’t like his posts?
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 months ago
George Takaei 420 nice…

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

Oh my! Why not Takei?
MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
That’s why celebs should try to be friends with their fans /s
Kase@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Pfft and by a good margin too. Real people or bots, it’s pretty ironic either way. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
mhzawadi@lemmy.horwood.cloud 11 months ago
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.
FriedRice@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
And i thougt i was following strangers
Apeman42@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
jeffw@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Should I know who Adam Mosseri is?
hactar42@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Had to look it up, he is the head of Threads
gedaliyah@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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 as an 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.
seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago

Or it could have absolutely nothing to do with Jewish people.
Cosmicomical@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Never heard this take before, lizard people has always been the upper class of non-human psychopath rulers and billionaires. I won’t stop using the term in that sense, certainly using tiktok and business insider as sources adds credibility to all this.
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Nobody cares also fuck off with your tiktok link
Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I don’t think they’re Jewish.
squid_slime@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
