Big difference between Twitter and the Fediverse: on the Fediverse, you don't need to be "important" for people to follow or interact with you.

There are no blue checks.

Famous people aren't given white glove treatment.

@atomicpoet that's probably one of the reasons why they're skeptical about it.

@oblomov For me, that's a selling feature. I don't like Twitter's Blue Check system.

@atomicpoet I'm not disagreeing, mind you. Just pointing out that for a lot of people it is important: for the "important" ones for their inflated ego, but also for a lot of "peons" to know "who's worth following"

@atomicpoet Of course I don’t think there are mainstream really famous people on the fediverse. It would be interesting to see what happens if there were a ton of really famous people here.
