Mastodawn

One of the things I would miss here on Mastodon was all of the alerts from my local infrastructure and government twitter accounts. These will likely take a very long time to make the migration.

With https://bird.makeup, you can create bot accounts that put those tweets in your Mastodon timeline. For instance, I follow the Washington State Patrol account for regional weather related road closures and accident reports:

@awilbert
I'm definitely going to check that out because there are definitely useful Twitter accounts that are unlikely to migrate anytime soon.

The only other thing I'd like for Mastodon is the ability to @ public officials (that means they need to get over here)—I don't want to lose the ability to have the productive/direct conversations that sometimes happen over there.
