I have closed Twitter and deleted the app from my phone. Now I need recommendations on who to follow here. I am interested in #climate, #energy, #airquality, #sustainabledevelopment
Three #Mastodon / #Fediverse tools that I discovered recently and that are quite powerful:
- #Fediview https://fediview.com/ – A configurable algorithmic timeline for your feed.
- #Followgraph https://followgraph.vercel.app/ – Suggests accounts to follow based on who your contacts follow.
- #Phanpy https://phanpy.social/ – An alternative web UI for Mastodon. Hugely improves the overall experience for me.

If you don't think Elon Musk will use his control of Starlink's space-based internet monopoly to further his right-wing, authoritative, anti-democratic goals, you're not watching him do exactly that right now with his control of Twitter.
And he's already done it in Ukraine.
