For anyone who's come over to the #Fediverse from #Twitter: One of the first things I did when coming here was seek out a bunch of #journalists to follow, so my TL could mimic the "current events" feed. Here's a curated Google Sheet listing over a thousand journalists who've made accounts over here, who cover all sorts of things from cycling to sports to breaking news. Use it to help populate your #timeline, #share broadly for exposure.

@colemankane @jerry super helpful!

@colemankane There over 1300 names on that spreadsheet. I started to wade in, quite enthused ... I followed three and then realized that two of them are inactive here. It's a good resource, but would require a fair amount of time to select journalists of interest and then check for inactivity (all done within Masto's two-step foreign-follow process).

@stephenesherman @colemankane This problem can be solved by following all of them at once: https://mastodon.social/@skry/110646546949221054

@gerowen @colemankane @[email protected] afaik NPR does not have an official account on Mastodon (or in the fediverse).

The press.coop instance mirrors news accounts, although I don't know where they're mirroring NPR from, since they don't post on Twitter any more.

@colemankane is there a way to follow a hashtag in the mastodon app? I can do it in tusky, but it seems silly to have another app just to allow me to follow #journalists (for example).

@Moodre @colemankane I’m not in the app currently, but remember being able to do it. You’re not seeing the option?
Show threadBarry Schwartz 🫖Jul 3, 2023
@colemankane Another thing to do is to follow Google News. Then one becomes one of the sources of current events in the Fediverse!
Show threadRick BelangerJul 4, 2023
@chemoelectric @colemankane sadly, this won’t bring any Canadian news. Our government has just passed a law (the Online News Act, aka Bill C-18) to force revenue sharing between platforms and Canadian news sources. Meta and Google have opted to not link to any Canadian news sites as a result. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6894029
When will Canadian news disappear from Google, Facebook? What the Bill C-18 rift means for you

How will you get the news now? That’s a question many Canadians may be asking after tech companies Google and Meta, which owns the social media giants Facebook and Instagram, vowed to remove links to Canadian journalism.

@rickbelanger @colemankane

Thus depriving Canadian news sites of links.

(Such failure of so many to adapt to a new era in technology.)

Show threadBarry Schwartz 🫖Jul 4, 2023

@rickbelanger @colemankane

Obviously no one is required to link to anyone else. There is no gain here for Canada.

Wow, thanks for this effort. This is really useful since the content in my feed is currently very limited in variety.
