@escott And don't forget #UK journalists. The @BylinesNetwork gang are all here, as is @krishgm. I'm hoping more will come over, or at least do more than just have an "in case Twitter goes to hell" account. To me it seems as if it's already there ...

It would be good to have a list of more journalists from non-English speaking countries too.

@mastodonmigration @tchambers Why Google Docs? It's not a solution to me to share these things over Googel Docs.. In some way it's like sharing this data over Twitter.

@escott FYI, those following counts in parentheses aren't accurate.

You need to open the account on the original page, e.g. Lorenz has 143K followers, not 94K.
