   • Eugen Rochko
   • George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

   It would appear from Adam's list that the two most followed Mastodon profiles are Eugen Rochko, the developer of Mastodon (@Gargron) and Star Trek actor George Takei (@georgetakei), both with over 200,000 followers.

   I also want to stress that I don't believe, in *ANY* way, shape, or form, we should repeat the mistakes of the birdsite, in thinking that the more followers a person has, the more importance, influence, or "clout" they have! But I am a stats nerd, so I found this interesting! ?

     If you are interested (and I was curious), here is a list of the all-time most popular (i.e. followed) profiles on Mastodon (this list rotates every 5 minutes): https://getstarted.social/interest_group/all-time-most-popular/

     Here's a note by the creator, @adam, who says that he did *not* scrape user profiles, but he used pre-existing lists of Mastodon users: https://mastodon.adamgeitgey.com/@adam/109313972852991428.

     If you want to remove yourself from his project, here's a link to his profile, so you can contact him to ask to be removed: https://mastodon.adamgeitgey.com/@adam.
