As we are on Feddit.uk and the Twitter equivalents can be tricky until you build your free, let’s have some Brits to follow (or those living here in Britland). Quite a few seem to have gone to mastodonapp.uk.
- Stephen Fry - started with enthusiasm but has tailed off
- Alice Roberts - similar recent lack of posts
- Neil Gaiman - not much posting but a lot of boosting
- Brian Cox - 1 post 8 months ago
- Charles Stross - as the above aren’t very active, author Charles Stross has gone full Fediverse
- Roger Langridge - cartoonist
OK, that started with enthusiasm and petered out quickly. So here are some other less famous people doing British stuff (heavily skewed to my interests):
- Anton Bitel - film reviewer
- Rob McCallum - artist (comics, storyboards)
- The Teletext Archaeologist - yes, it does what it says on the tin
- Nearly Knowledgeable - Shropshire folklore
So have at it.
edit: fixing the links
Yes, people boosting (?) stuff that I’m not interested in definitely clogged my feed, and most boost more then they post.
And using the all feed was just chock full of non-english posts, which is just so very rarely something I can engage in, I.e. someone who posts cool pics that I dont need context to.
I do winder if I’m just jot using it for the right thing. Ive hears microblogging is good for news.
