Are there any celebrities that are confirmed to be using lemmy?

I know celebs have used Reddit, have any followed us to Lemmy that are confirmed. For example I know Adam from mythbusters was an active redditor or Arnold Schwarzenegger etc. Do we know if any have came along with us

    Stephen fry is an absolute legend. Do you mind explaining mastodon for me? I never understood twitter so it could be a big ask.

      Twitter (old school, original version)

      Well, it is restricted to short messages. They are long enough to post a hot take on a subject but short enough that it is impossible to actually give a reasoned answer to something.

      It makes it the perfect one liner and outrage machine service. Whether that was by accident or by design is up for the reader to decide.

        I do love a hot take, I think I got that from blindboy though. His hot takes are chefs kiss

        What I never understood about twitter was actually seeing what people say. Unless I follow them I don’t see their messages and I don’t know who to follow for the most active and enjoyable content, that was my main issue for twitter.

          I have never found twitter enjoyable. Never had an account and found following a tread there way too much work for what you get back.

          Been using Mastodon a while. Once you hit critical mass of people you follow you just sort of find new ones.

          If someone you enjoy reading boosts something someone else has said you go off and probably end up following them too.

          With Mastodon you have to be a bit more pro active about building (and pruning) your social network but I’ve found it worthwhile.

      Yeah, I’m definitely the wrong person to ask about Mastodon. I have an account and I scroll through some posts every few weeks or so if I’m bored. I don’t really use it.

      google: “celebrities on mastodon”

      Seems there are not that much celebrities around, and Stephen Fry’s last post there is from early September. Idk. I guess celebrities post things on platforms like Twitter but don’t exactly spend their time on link aggregators / discussion platforms like Lemmy. I’ve seen a few on Reddit. But even on the bigger AMAs they often had a seperate account or someone do it for them. But there are a few on Reddit. And we here on Lemmy only have like 40.000 active users. So judging by the statistics I wouldn’t expect many celebs here.
