I like elite sports (#cycling, #figureskating, climbing, football...), like to cycle and skate myself, enjoy #literature, #music, #art and #nature. Re-politicized, pro nature, pro #Ukraine, pro #democracy, anti corruption, anti #climatecatastrophe, anti fake news. Usually nice, but not always.

Recommended follow list for Ukraine war on Mastodon

Here are my recommendations for coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Only accounts active recently and you can easily import them from a file. They are split into two different lists by type.

  1. Ukraine: OSINT & war updates

This list mostly has accounts posting quickly about daily events of the war and doing open source intelligence.

Accounts in this list:
@warnoir
@noelreports
@warmapper
@Tendar
@militarylandnet
@chrisschmitz
@militarnyi
@Landcombatmissiles
@Gettyregion

  1. Ukraine: Analysis & coverage

This list is accounts focused more on in-depth analysis, information about what is happening in the background, followup stories etc.

Accounts in this list:
@Odrachewych
@markhertling
@justinling
@WarInTheFuture
@joannekelly
@rikefranke
@EmmanuelleChaze
@aliide
@anneapplebaum

Download the file here if you want to import: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVkBo17Jko4sozHoMzQU6raR4D1KCKomEZJ6QZChVJeLA?filename=ukraine_lists.csv

The import file relies on the List import feature recently added to Mastodon. I have noticed the list import results in a few accounts sometimes ending up in their separate list by the same name so you may have to fix that manually afterwards if this happens on your instance. If many people are on an older Mastodon version and want it I can also post a follows file that will work for those.

Import instructions:

  1. Sign into your instance on the web
  2. go to settings (Gear icon)
  3. Choose Import and Export -> Import
  4. For import type choose "Lists" (could also be "Translation missing: en.imports.types.lists" if there is an issue with the localization).
  5. Select "merge" to only add to your current follows/lists so nothing you have gets deleted
  6. Browse for CSV file and start import

I would also suggest following the hashtags and

Crossposted to @ukraine on Lemmy which you can also follow through Mastodon

@ijatz_La_Hojita @73ms If you equate Russia/Nato I think you already have a screwed view of what is happening. I don't think this is a very good list (kudos for trying, though) because the accounts have very different quality, but I think there is no pro-Russian account in it, and there doesn't need to be. You also wouldn't have wanted a pro-Nazi view in your timeline in 1939, would you? The accounts I know from that list also tell about Russia's views/ statements, but they don't support them.

@73ms @ukraine I did not want to put your effort down, and of course it's always easier to critisize than to come up with solutions - my intent was not even to critisize but to answer that specific comment. I just think there are big differences in the quality of infos those accounts give, some mean well but become overenthusiastic too easily etc... I will try to make a list of accounts I would recommend myself when I'm able to, which I'm not right now. I know it's difficult on mastodon. 👍
