@Randahl Fink i get the impression that the fediverse is not really vip-friendly. so cleese might be totally misplaced here. celeb accounts don't get boosted automatically in the fediverse. there is no way you can grow a follower base by making bots like your posts. and you really are expected to interact! @Cory Doctorow seems to be doing fine with this, also other authors like @Charlie Stross . but celebs like @JeriLRyan started and gave up. and, what is even worse, you can't measure your reach within the fediverse so it's not valuable from a marketing point of view.

from some minor vip like the german creator of "bernd, das brot" ( @Tommy Krappweis  ) i read that they felt mistreated by the nerdy communication culture in mastodon.

but there's a world without celebs, so they should go wherever they please ... :-)
