    I really don’t think the fediverse can really work for celebrity microblogging. Corpo platforms inherently value reach and boosting popular users, while the fediverse has no profit incentive to appeal to them. It’s why I always liked the idea of lemmy over mastadon: conversations matter more than personalities

      He didn’t have problems with reach he had problems with abuse, if memory serves. Some other big accounts say similar things.

      I also don’t think the fediverse works for someone trying to “go viral” or farm engagement or whatever.
