Drew HarwellJournalist profiles on the Washington Post's website can now include Mastodon links. Here's what it looks like: https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/drew-harwell/
The Post is also working on some other cool Mastodon stuff. Stay tuned. Here's a running list of Post journalists on Mastodon so far: https://mastodon.social/@drewharwell/109551525081139777
spees@drewharwell it's annoying that Post is the name of a social network now because it took me a minute to realize that's not what you were talking about
Jane Manchun Wong@drewharwell a Mastodon instance hosted by WaPo 👀
John BaileyConsider posting the handles in importable format.
It's too much work for me to do them individually.
You could post them in full, or even link a csv that's importable...
Matt@isucceed @drewharwell yeah the direct links make following from a different instance way too cumbersome

@isucceed @drewharwell i see what you mean, without the full domain attached (at the original), copying and pasting just handle won't generate a click-friendly list. i tried but deleted it.
Trying again—by going into view source mode you can copy and paste handle/domain in its entirety.
REPRINT: John, I believe if you copy and paste any folks' handle(+domain), directly into a reply, you will generate a click-friendly print (for any instance).
This might exist elsewhere, but for whoever wishes it, here you go.. (from @drewharwell re: Wapo folks)

I think that "view source" is the trick. Don't know why I didn't think of it!
I captured, and will test an import from it tomorrow.
Thank you.
Stay well & Merry Christmas
@isucceed ☺️
Merry Christmas, John! 🎄❄️☃️

Robin from Colorado 🇺🇸🇺🇦@drewharwell I really hope News orgs start their own servers/instances. They need control.
Bathsheba Blue@drewharwell Fantastic! Glad to hear it … we need to band together to push back against Evil Elmo.
Trading Places Research@drewharwell very happy to hear this. Big news orgs need to take control of their social media.
Futurist Jim CarrollDid you see the poll I ran here literally 24 hours before the Thursday night bans?
The poll literally became irrelevant over night. Wapo will be but the first of many.
dlupham@drewharwell One you have missed. Karen Tumulty @ktumulty
Barb Gilman@drewharwell will Dave and the Tik Tok team join?
Monsieur Valentine 🇺🇦
John Panzer@drewharwell Very nice!
NanaKim
Phx611@drewharwell Very Nice! I've been looking for the last several days, on several profiles.
Lisa@drewharwell very cool!
@cmmcdAs a digital sub I have been wanting this!

@drewharwell Cool! You may want to remove and then re-do your WashPo profile link, that should give it a green checkmark!
Edit: That was bad wording. I meant, go to your Mastodon profile, remove the washington post link, save, put it back in and save again. That will trigger the checkmark validation.

Garth Cummings@drewharwell hope it’s the start of a trend!
Maike@drewharwell Wow, nice 👍. Shouldn't the WaPo run their own instance?
Quiquaequod@drewharwell More entities should be offering this. Maybe preferred social outlets should be a system setting. CC @applesupport
Bala Yogesh@drewharwell The new Era is here! What an addition.
Drea@drewharwell this is awesome. Hope other news outlets big and small take note.
Isaac LeFever@drewharwell this is definitely the kind of industry adoption that will be needed to get things to the next level. Cool to see WaPo moving this quickly on it
Jan@drewharwell Cool but why not @[email protected] ? You can run your own instance 😉
Chris Helming 
@jan @drewharwell less work if drew ever changes jobs?
@jan @drewharwell someone commented that having your employer own your history isn’t best. That tracks.
@whattamess @drewharwell Sure but with some clicks you can move with your profile to another instance.
Les Orchard@jan @whattamess @[email protected] hard to perform those clicks if you're fired and no longer have access. That said, it's not a bad idea to have multiple profiles, especially if one is work-related
Allen Brunson@drewharwell to me, this looks huge. a nice exit ramp for the next time elon goes on a journalist-banning spree.
Laurie Brunner@drewharwell One step at a time.
I look forward to the day when WaPo adds a Mastodon icon to share stories...and removes the Twitter icon.
@drewharwell Great news. I would personally recommend that you get verified if you are going to have this link on your author page. If you need help: https://mashable.com/article/how-to-get-verified-mastodon
Sonu@drewharwell Great first step. I think they should create their own account next. On a separate topic, as Masto gets more popular, I wonder how it'll deal with spam, bots, and neo-Nazi accounts - something that Twitter is struggling with.
Jeff Jarvis@drewharwell take that, Elon.
Fanua 🌐@jeffjarvis @drewharwell Excellent. 👍
Chris Pirillo@drewharwell ...that's a massive step forward. Great decision.
Unprecedented 2023
Cranky David@drewharwell
in the "what have you done for me LATELY?" reply guy style: would be useful for them to also carry mastodon verification meta-data.

Will Oremus@drewharwell ooh how do i get one
Unplanned Librarian@drewharwell Great start! When will they add it to share article links?
Christopher Mims@drewharwell ahead of the curve!
@mimsical Simple implementation and would look nice on that clean WSJ author-profile white ...
@drewharwell seriously gonna bring this up
I forgot who said it but every media organization should probably be running their own mastodon server, already
Gadfly (-booq-)@mimsical @drewharwell Any chance they can put a 'rel="me" ' in the HTML of that link, so that the Washington Post (... and the WSJ..?) is visibly verifying their journalists (in a manner controlled by the institutions) through that link?
@drewharwell Great! Looking forward to many of your colleagues joining and using Mastoodon very soon if they haven't yet.
Kumar McMillan@drewharwell kinda looks like a button for ordering a happy meal but still cool. Did they consider the proposed Fediverse logo? https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fediverse_logo_proposal.svg
juno suárez@drewharwell
@jeremybowers nice! and I see it includes the rel=me required for it to show up as green verified - you may need to edit and re-save your mastodon profile for it to re-check

Jeff D@drewharwell hell yes!
@drewharwell it’s awesome to this type of adoption!

jmfc@drewharwell I think this is really going to start driving more people here. Exciting to see this. Biggest thing IMO is bringing awareness to general public and making it easy to follow users on the different servers.

Very important to start normalizing Mastodon (and other social media) to lessen the power of the Birdsite.
