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.
Here are a few links to learn more:

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.
Calm down there achi. You're coming in with a lot of pretty unnecessary defensive energy. I'm just letting people know about some language that is harmful to a vulnerable minority in case they want to avoid it. You feel free to do with that information what you need.
Vulnerable. Sure.
I blocked you though so how am I even seeing your silly reply?
You’re talking out your ass. Do some research on David Icke, the dude who started the whole lizard people thing. Dude is an antisemite.
Henry Ford had a portrait of Hitler on the wall by his desk, doesn't mean I'm not going to drive cars.
Nah, but you can recognise that his social/political thought and language used to express that is not something you should repeat mindlessly and accept and be appreciative of criticism when its given so you can correct future behaviour to make the world a more welcoming place for all. Right?

Or it could have absolutely nothing to do with Jewish people.
The article (correctly) names David Icke within the second paragraph or so. That dude popularized the “lizard people” thing and he is EXTREMELY antisemitic. This the whole point of a dogwhistle; it leaves room for plausible deniability. See also: Alex Jones.
So, sorry friend, try again.

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.
Then of course, if you ACTUALLY believe they are lizard people, you may have bigger problems.

Dumb question but why tf is threads part of the fediverse?
Embrace, extend, extinguish
Ans vacuum up as much user data as humanly possible
they can already do that really. Most of what you can do on the fediverse is essentially public.

They implemented ActivityPub 🤷♂️
Because that's the whole point of the fediverse, to be interoperable with other instances using an open protocol.

I'm sure those are all legitimate users who are very interested in what Zuck is posting....
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
This has the same vibe as MySpace Tom being everyone’s first friend.
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.

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.
