11/20/22: Welcome to all the new #twittermigration arrivals.

A few finding aids for those of you who want your #journalism fix: there are a few lists of #journalists circulating.

The biggest, with some 1000 entries, is this google doc:

I've curated a list on github that's biased toward science journalists but has others:

It's a few days out of date, but still has plenty of people worth following. (more)

@cgseife Many thanks for these lists. Any tips on how to follow all of these names automatically in my Mastodon account?

@teco22222 @cgseife Hi Debra! You can import a list of people you want to follow:

1. On the website of your mastodon instance, navigate to Preferences → Import And Export → Import.
2. Select `Import type` = "Following list" and click the "Merge" option (otherwise you'd erase your current follows).
3. Upload a .csv file in this format:

@USER1@HOST<tab>TRUE
@USER2@HOST<tab>TRUE
@USER3@HOST<tab>TRUE

(Change TRUE to FALSE hide their boosts.)
