People who dislike someone because of their perceived popularity or fame on Masto are wild to me. I don't know what you think life is like for people with over 1000 followers, but it ain't exactly the court of Louis XVI. The only thing folks with more followers than you get that you don't is more hostile mentions.
Like, literally no benefits come with Mastodon "popularity." Not money. Not privilege. Not a free toaster. You don't even get a complimentary box of cookies.
When you rant about what you perceive to be the power of "popular" posters you reveal nothing about those people. You just sound like someone who has imported their high school resentments into a different platform.
@jillybobww there are fedi famous people though (it's mostly the devs), who are universally respected for doing good work or being marketing geniuses
