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

They're on Mastodon. Quite a few. I think I'm subscribed to Stephen Fry and some others.

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

    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.

    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.
