@HistoPol @Gargron Oh, boy, there are some depressing facts about that list, including how a big chunk of the most followed celebrities in it are not active on Masto anymore at all (Gaiman seems to have landed on BlueSky, whoever runs Takei's account seems to be crossposting, mostly).
I'm fine with Masto not being celebrity-driven. Love it, in fact. But still. Sheesh. It does explain why checking if you can see follow that one Threads account would get that high on the list, though.
