Daniel RubinoThis took a relatively long time to link it all, but if you're looking to get started on 🐘 I've compiled all the major players in tech (that I know of) to get your feed going.
You may be surprised how many are already on there!

Tomasz Hamerla@daniel_rubino @backlon @lockheimer @dannysullivan @mozilla @saschasegan @askdes and the nice thing about Mastodon is that you can turn the list into csv and import using the UI :) doing so on Twitter would require API usage
Chris Pirillo@daniel_rubino @damianedwards @brandonleblanc @JenMsft @MichaelGillett @aarongreenberg @zadjii @malter365 @shanselman @kylealden @clintrutkas @xboxp3 @fxshaw @michaelwest ...and who will remain most active? :)
@ChrisPirillo ...and adding you lol
@daniel_rubino ...yeah, but I don't work there. That I know of. Maybe I should apply?
@ChrisPirillo Nah, it's not just Microsoft, but anyone in tech, covering tech, who is notable, etc.
@daniel_rubino ...yeah, I realized that after I noticed it was a thread you were building!

Gosh we need more women on that list!
Phil@Laylacodesit Let's start then!
@leaverou is terrific. @girlgerms, @jessitron is a wonderful follow. @cyen, @skamille, @johannarothman, @so...

👩💻 Jess "GirlGerms" Dodson 
@paw @Laylacodesit @leaverou @jessitron @cyen @skamille @johannarothman @so 🥰 honoured to be on this list!
Johanna Rothman@daniel_rubino
I'd add Nick Craver
@Nick_Craver
The fact that he currently work at Microsoft is just the tip of the iceberg. His work (and his colleagues!) at Stackoverflow influenced positively the life of a LOT of devs out there!
Brad Wilson@daniel_rubino A Microsoft list without @davidfowl? For shame. 😂
@bradwilson @davidfowl added, thx
Tim Mulholland@daniel_rubino Mildly* offended at not making this list
*Actually not at all, thanks for putting it together - had some people I had missed too.
@tlmii lol I can only add people that I know exist on here ;) I'll add.
@daniel_rubino I was kidding 😊 I'm hoping my presence will be a little bigger here than it was on the bird site. There's others definitely more deserving anyway.

Guilherme Morais 🇬🇧🇧🇷Thank you for this toot. I already followed most of them, but enjoyed finding a few missing ones!
Daniel Deptford@daniel_rubino I'm at Microsoft too! Not a major player though and my posts are unrelated to my work 🙂
Sascha Segan@daniel_rubino
Happy to see I'm following most of them - even happier to have gotten the rest to follow!

@saschasegan Cheers, reminds me, you want to be on that list? I know you're not reporting as much, being at Qualcomm.
@daniel_rubino Maybe make a section for people who work at major tech vendors? Then include me and Jason Woodmansee from Qualcomm, Brad Molen and Jason Gerdon if they're here, any official brand accounts ...
@saschasegan ooh great idea! I'll work on that in the AM. If u find any, pass em my way. Thx.
@daniel_rubino Some I already follow ... T-Mobile - @askdes

Gary Explains@saschasegan @daniel_rubino Other tech people to consider are @geerlingguy and myself @garyexplains 🥹
Jeff Geerling@garyexplains @saschasegan @daniel_rubino still seems to be a slow roll of people from tech sphere migrating over here.
Stan FletcherThanks for putting this list together. Much appreciated.
Danny 🇵🇭@daniel_rubino Thanks for sharing!
Dr. Windows@daniel_rubino
Thank you for this comprehensive collection - and for including us 😍

Ronan@daniel_rubino FYI - the Verge account is suspended. No idea why, that's the message I got on that link 👍

Miguel@daniel_rubino @arstechnica @androidpolice @drwindows @9to5Mac @9to5google @onmsft @PCMag @Techaltar @Techmeme @TWiT @verge @windowsarea @WinFuture @windowsonwindows Thanks!!, i think the worst thing about Mastodon is the difficulty to find interesting people the first month or so...
WinFuture.de@daniel_rubino Thank you so much for kindly including us on this list. Despite some reluctance we are more than glad that we made the step into the fediverse and hope that we can provide a good service to German readers (and the occasional leak by our one and only @rquandt for everyone else)
