Interesting accounts to follow on Mastodon and the Fediverse

@TheCoolest Those are great resources and there are other lists making the rounds as well. We noticed that a number of accounts on the list are not very active (yet) so we focused our recommendations on folks who are posting frequently.

@Flipboard @TheCoolest That is a thoughtful criterion to go by. Thx for the lists.

I don't know how often she posts, but Annalee Newitz is worth following: @annaleen

@Flipboard @couts @caseynewton @mimsical @pierce @drewharwell @harrymccracken @jank0 @joannastern @jr @mathewi @stshank @taylorlorenz @willoremus

nice to see that a few have been able to self-verify using a link to a page they control at their well-known employer's domain,
I followed them.

@Flipboard It's still a drop in the bucket, but if they start posting content (and employing content tools and amplifiers) not found on Twitter, or anywhere else, the fedi can become the epicenter of journalism and broadcasting much faster than anyone expects. Most government, media, and the active citizenry among consumers will inevitably have follow if they value less corruptible quality news and information sources. Stay the course.
@shoq Slow and steady now... but it will only accelerate. Don't you think?
How I found a new home online at Mastodon, after giving up on Twitter

More like a village than a city, Mastodon has less cruelty and bad-faith debates than Twitter, in my experience Could it be a social media platform to trust, asks Annalee Newitz

Tirando o @ghedin nenhum jornalista de tecnologia da velha mídia está na Mastodon, certo?
@ghedin Na verdade me expressei mal.. tirando o guedin que cobre tecnologia, nenhum outro jornalista (aqueles da velha mídia) estão aqui na Mastodon :-)

@Flipboard

Great list! One day I’ll be cool enough to be on one of these.😂

@HilliTech Good to know you're here too! There are many more Fridays in our future. 😉
@Flipboard Thank you for making it easy to find everyone!
@TammyGentzel That's the idea. We want to do our part with discovery in Fediverse.

@Flipboard @couts @caseynewton @mimsical @pierce @drewharwell @harrymccracken @jank0 @joannastern @jr @mathewi @stshank @taylorlorenz @willoremus

One thing I've noticed is that #sports #sportsjournalist 's haven't made the move in general (at least, most of my sports follows over at the muskratsite...)

@pyperkub Tech reporters tend to be the early adopters of new platforms, but sports journalists are bound to follow. Let us know if you come across good ones.
Thanks for all of these great suggestions of accounts to follow!
@Flipboard Thank you for posting this type of information. Very helpful.

@Flipboard

Hotness! Any VICE journalists?

@Flipboard When you see him, please tell McCue "dannyman says thanks for everything" <3
@dannyman @Flipboard hi Dannyman!! Great to see you here!
@Flipboard People gotta start reaching out to these organizations urging them to set up their own instances for their official accounts and staff.
@Flipboard thanks! Following all of them now!

@Flipboard
Now we need NPR.

NOW WE NEED NPR.

@Flipboard @couts @caseynewton @mimsical @pierce @drewharwell @harrymccracken @jank0 @joannastern @mathewi @stshank @taylorlorenz @willoremus May I ask how verified these are? I saw that NPR already had impersonators in the Fediverse.
@Catwoman69y2k Our team vetted all the accounts. It's what we've been doing for years.

@Flipboard @couts @caseynewton @mimsical @pierce @drewharwell @harrymccracken @jank0 @joannastern @jr @mathewi @stshank @taylorlorenz @willoremus

I love how @drewharwell's verification is setup. Makes it easy to validate the publication and person. 😁
This is such a better system than "well, I paid $"

@Flipboard @pierce Isn't this that band that sings "King For a Day" with Kellin Quinn?
@d1pl0mat @Flipboard @pierce That band is Pierce the Veil, and they're on on Mastodon (yet.)
@xtel @Flipboard @pierce lol, someone tell Vic to get the fuck over here
@Flipboard thanks for this. I miss my birdapp journos!
@Flipboard
@kerim These lists may contain the kind of info you were looking for previously?
