So, two observations:
1. If you're looking for something more "social" from your social networking, and you happen to have some friends who have already come here, it doesn't matter whether they're celebrities or not. There may be reason to spend more time here regardless. Mastodon doens't have to vanquish Twitter to flourish in that way. It's less important to a federated system than a corporate-driven one that it tend toward monopoly.

@zoran@photog.social 2. It's not impossible that Mastodon *could* supercede Twitter. The dynamics @eloquence@social.coop describes could drive some "big names" here in the short term; but in the long term, it will be individuals migrating here for organic reasons that will attract more celebs. Celebs, politicians, businesses will tend to go where the crowds are.
