@Starcross i think mastodon mighht edge misskey slightly in userbase (sorry, not trying to argue, just thought about the double entendre there and couldn't resist)
but like, yeah, one of the forks would probably take the crown, either that or $secret_third_option
@Paradox it's kinda funny, i can't think of any celebrity that really fits that description (albeit, i distance myself pretty far from the media that surrounds them) closest analogue i can thing of are like big youtube creators, biggest of being at like 1.5M subscribers, much bigger than that and it feels like the power dynamics are starting to float back in
and like, thinking on why i feel that way about those particular creators, i think it's the willingness to interact with their fans, answer the silly questions, play about with them, despite the optics of it
ah, anyway, i'm probably overanalyzing it, you, being as down to earth as you are, i think you wouldn't really form the sorts of parasocial relationships i think are necessary for those sorts of power dynamics to form... to be honest, i think if you were, you'd vibe in a way i wouldn't be quite so comfortable interacting with ^^
@rail iunno, empty field sounds like a fun place to me seems like it'd be really quiet when there's no trains nearby like, in the summer, find a grassy spot to lay in and just sorta exist, comf,
