I'd like to use Mastodon a little more and I want to find some new accounts to follow. I also thought this would be a fun way for all of us to engage about the platform! What are your favorite accounts that you follow?

I love Technology Connections as a YT channel, and I enjoy their posts on Mastodon under their account @[email protected], though most are simply advertising new videos for their YT channel.

What, no coach Gowron? That's unforgivable.

I've just realized that the coach hasn't posted since March, and now I'm sad.

Also @[email protected]

I follow George Takei and Cory Doctorrow, too.

Only one I follow that is not specialized. It's less gloom and doom then other news :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Love that, we need more uplifting news every once in a while. Followed!

I just like what they post. If I find an interesting post (usually because someone I follow boosted it), I look at the author's other posts, and if I find them interesting, I follow them.

There is also a list of accounts with the most followers: https://fedidb.com/accounts.

Awesome, thank you for this! Following Ars Technica and Robert Reich now, for sure!

Mostly just that I value their opinions on current events, and I admire their work. :)

I probably should have said that haha

Elena is a journalist who is big in the Fediverse. She just put out a video about it. You should be able to find it on her posts.

Westenberg is another writer who moved to the fediverse
