I think it was last week when George Takei announced to quit with social media but is still there! Does the Fediverse need a few more well known names to attract more users ?
One of the comments from another person in that thread :
Vividly recall how, back when Trump-style bullying and punch-them-in-the-face demeanor was en vogue, George went on cable news to propose an alternative approach and world view, one based on human decency and empathy with the vulnerable, informed by own experience. Left me deeply touched.
GT is one of Mastodon’s OGs.
He joined Universodon during one of the Twitter exoduses a couple years back. Elvira also joined Universodon without knowing it was a space themed instance. Not sure if she’s still there.
I’m confident his announcement to “leave social media” was an April Fools’ joke.
I read his story in graphic novel format some years ago, and it left me impressed as well. It’s titled They Called Us Enemy.
Who?
