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
Appreciate where this post is posted, but I doubt we’ll see any celebs on lemmy ever. I mean who are we who are here? Tech interested nerds at best, incels and tankies at the worst. Only one I could think would ever bother being here because he’s a based nerd is Henry Cavill
Agreed. My SO is looking for an alternative to reddit but I have nothing to recommend her to. I don’t even try to get her into Lemmy because there nothing here for her. This place is way more niche than most people here realize and the entire Lemmy as a whole is compareable in size and actvity to a single relatively popular subreddit.
True. Apart from mediocre memes and the same news over and over there is not much to do here if you aren’t into tech. It might actually be good if you spend too much time on reddit, but then again there’s also a sense of community and, let’s be honest, mindless relaxation in communities like makeup addiction, new parents, AITA or moldly interesting. They are all missing here. I had just discovered a bra that fits before the reddit shutdown. Now I will never find a bra that fits I guess.
I just hope to wait and see more ordinary people come along.

I get that, I’d be happy to have Henry here with us. Tbf to us all, I’m closer to technophobe than I am to tech interested but I do agree with what you’ve said. I’ve basically just followed links when Reddit api’s shut down and here I am, so it’s not a far shout for some celebrities to do the same but I’m still not holding my breath.
Henry? Is that you?
No, this is Margot Diesel. I think you saw me in Wolf of Family and Speed IX
2 wolf 2 wall street
Idk if he’s using actually using Lemmy, but what about Linus Torvalds?
Not necessarily. If (big if) there’s enough users here then celebrities will come.
They’d want to form their own instance though, and for that reason it wouldnt have the glorious drama of /r/AMA - they would just delete any spicy stuff.
Don’t remember how reddit started? I’d say nerds and atheists, mostly. Now look at it, nerds hate it and christofascists love it. So don’t say there’s no chance of change.
Unfortunately Henry Cavill isn’t the nerd hero we thought he was.
Don’t know about hero but I still believe he’s a nerd. Felt like a lot of things in that article weren’t confirmed and were mere speculations by the writer. Not trying to defend the guy but I got no insight into those rumors and I don’t care enough to investigate
Not to mention that some of the things speculated are not even things you can really give the dude shit about. So he went put with someone for 10 days and it didn’t work out? That automatically makes him a bad person. The boner thing can absolutely be excused too, the male body is literally designed to erect the penis upon physical stimulation. Some men can have this happen from friction of their clothes alone.
Some of the other shit like the appropriate age thing is valid, but you can’t give him shit for the #metoo statement though because the news has created a scary place for men that are sexually active.
Basically the main thing I got from this article is “Wow, Henry Cavill is a man with a penis, he should be demonized! He also values the source material in his roles as well, what blasphemy!”
This is 100% incorrect. Men don’t feel unsafe approaching women because of the MeToo movement. Only incels and rapists are concerned, and they should be.
The fact that other men are parroting this tired bullshit is ridiculous.
No, it’s not any more unsafe for men now than it was before MeToo. False accusations of sexual assault and rape haven’t skyrocketed. It’s not a thing. So stop spreading misinformation.
That’s not 100% incorrect because I actually know people like this. Yes it does not apply to everyone but to ignore that it has affected normal men to some capacity would be ridiculous.
Keep in mind that I’m not saying there is anything wrong with #metoo itself, I think it is an awesome movement that helps put power in the hands of victims, I am simply stating that there are people who are not victims that abuse the movement for attention or financial gain which have hurt innocent PEOPLE, not just men. Everything good will always have a downside, that is just how it is.
The difference is, you don’t criticize a movement because of some outliers. And bringing up outliers in a movement just makes you seem like you have an agenda, or in this case like you’re defending rapists.
How am I criticizing a movement by making it aware that these things happen?
Oh fuck off, this conversation is done. If you genuinely somehow think it looks like I’m defending rapists based off what I said, then you are one of the last people who need to be involved in a legal movement. Remember, it is innocent until proven guilty, just because I’m not bloodthirsty to put someone in prison for twenty years before any evidence comes out doesn’t mean I do not support a movement whatsoever. I’m simply stating the fact that outliers like that HURT the movement, if you somehow cannot see that, then I cannot converse with you further.
He dated someone who killed animals! I definitely can’t support the killing of animals. No way no how. Oh eating animals is fine though I can support that.
(This is sarcasm to agree that this article is kind of trash)
Read the article, there’s nothing here that makes him into a dick.
I didn’t say he was a dick. Those are your words. I said he wasn’t the nerd hero people think he is.
