Call For Recommendations - Mastodon Follow List: US Politics News and Opinion
-
@mastodonmigration You can add @DemocracyMattersALot
How about adding some non-US based news accounts, to give a wider range of opinions? Of course, they topics they cover will be more broad. Flipboard will have somme, e.g. https://mastodon.scot/@AlJazeera@flipboard.com

@mastodonmigration Laffy and Nonilex for starters

@gunchleoc @DemocracyMattersALot
Thanks for the suggestion. The intent if this is popular is to solicit recommendations for differently themed Follow Packs too. World Politics is a good potential Follow Pack. Thoughts for other Follow Packs greatly appreciated!
-
@mastodonmigration also you guys, Tiedrich and Rupar
-
Maybe Threads based accounts should be in their own category? What do you think?
-
For certain!
-
@mastodonmigration How about collaborating with https://fedi.directory/ @FediFollows on the starter packs?

@mastodonmigration You!

https://fedi.directory/ is a superb resource and everyone should use it.
The idea behind Follow Packs is to periodically get some top recommendations from the community and make a one-click means of following the accounts as well as a .csv to follow them all.
It's a different use case.

@mastodonmigration @FediFollows I'm just thinking data reuse here . maybe one can be converted into the other by running a script or something
-
The other consideration is data overload. The hope here is to boil it down to a few essential accounts per pack. One issue that people have with large directories is where to start and how to prioritize. Again the directory is fabulous. This is just a different thing.
-
@mastodonmigration @FediFollows Good point
-
@mastodonmigration depends on how many there are
-
Any others you can think of?
