I’m trying to build a list of interesting people/subjects to follow on mastodon. Do you have any recommendations?

Christian Selig; Developer of the late Reddit client Apollo & Pixel Pals.
I started with LoadingReadyRun (@LoadingReadyRun@kind.social) because I’ve been a fan of their work for many years now. I’ve found a couple of authors I’m fond of: Charles Stross (@cstross@wandering.shop) and Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself@mastodon.social). George Takei is a good one to follow as well (@georgetakei@universeodon.com).
George Takei is a good follow.
He seems like a lovely man and is generally interesting. But he has an opinion on everything even when he doesn’t have any knowledge of the subject. So can be a difficult follow on occasion. If that happens, don’t unfollow but put him on mute for a few days.
Love Loading Ready Run, they’re great fun! Desert Bus is great but I almost always manage to miss most of it due to circumstances
- https://mastodon.social/@bagder creator of curl
- https://chaos.social/@isotopp all around it thinker in German
- https://fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon very interesting python developer. Much open source
Good request. I would also like to know, especially for geopolitics / Ukraine / Middle East. A lot of the people I follow (followed) on xitter haven’t moved over yet.
Molly White: @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io
Her bio: “crypto researcher & critic, software engineer, wikipedian”
She is follows the developments in the crypto/blockchain world and explains them to lay audiences (she thinks it’s horse crap and a scam). Right now, she writes near-daily updates on the Sam Bankman-Fried trial.
“web3 is going great” is her creation: @web3isgreat@indieweb.social

Christopher Moore. I like his books.
