Looking for high profile accounts to follow on Mastadon

Thanks to DU member oioioi, I found mastadon! It helped greatly to download the app (I find it easier to navigate). It looks a lot like twitter. I want to decrease my foot traffic on twitter but want to still connect w high profile progressives and experts in their field for their insights. Any suggestions on who to follow on Mastadon?

I find it hard to paste links in this format into mastodon. It sets me into a non-functioning login loop.

Any tips?

The other day BootinUp here - also an adept Mastodon user - re-typed the links as normal text and I was able to access?

Tia!

to find Kurt and Marcy, I only pasted the NON-hyperlinked text and found them - thanks!

Didn't find you, though - because no server name/@?

Before it went down,I just searched the high profile accounts that I follow on Twitter and most were there.

It went down before I actually followed any non-local posters.

It's up again.

I'd recommend Marc Elias @marcelias@mas.to
Founder of @democracydocket. Partner at Elias Law Group.

or follow @democracydocket@mas.to
