For me it’s Naval.
The accounts of space agencies such as NASA and ESA.
Anything official such as a public service or local government should really stop using Twitter. I pretty much consider Twitter to be a porn site with a bunch of angry people arguing about nonsense so there is no chance I can take your organization seriously if you are using this platform.
@nasa@social.beachcom.org
@esa@squeet.me
@nasa_bot@botsin.space
@iss@botsin.space
I’m aware of those accounts but they aren’t official.
All sports leagues and teams. (Thank you, sportsbots.xyz, for doing the Lord’s work in the meantime)
I used to rely on team reporter’s notifications for any rain delays during a baseball game, or potential injury scratches during NBA season. Instead, I have to keep refreshing Google to see their tweets (I’m not giving traffic to X, if I can help it).
You can ask the sportsbots.xyz admin (@sportsbots@mastodon.social) to add specific accounts. The posts propagate pretty quickly from Twitter, and you can have them either on your main Mastodon/Firefish timeline or a dedicated list. The downside is that you don’t get the Twitter replies, but those are mostly garbage blue-checks now anyway.
Any kind of government-funded body.
Any infrastructure or communication channels that has taxpayer money involved should be built on FOSS. Not only for security/control, but to avoid vendor lock as well.
I’m more interested in which accounts have already moved, so I can follow them.
All the ones my wife follows so I can finally convince her to move to Mastodon.

I always enjoyed NYT Pitchbot. Sandra Boynton and Roz Chast would be pretty cool too.

He used to be on Mastodon, but isn’t active there anymore :(
I’ve also seen him on Reddit. I wish he’d show up here on Lemmy too.
