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
Cory Doctorow is a good follow: @pluralistic@mamot.fr

I’m not even into film making, but these guys are amazing interviewers. They made Tales From the Crypt and lots of other series and features and talk about the process, politics, and funding issues.
Christopher Moore. I like his books.
