Hi all!

What fediverse social media accounts do you recommend for accurate and timely information about the war in Ukraine (i.e. mastodon, not lemmy)?

I've been very grateful to find this federated community since moving away from Reddit.

I've also deleted my 13-year-old Twitter account. Now, I'm looking for alternative, reliable sources for information about the war that are open and not dependent on Twitter/X.

Some examples I've found (note: I have not followed all of these accounts for a long time, so use your judgment when evaluating them wrt reliability/accuracy):

Do you have others to recommend? Thanks!

That's fair, I think we're all trying to understand this new Fediverse thing. I understand that the underlying ActivityPub protocol is the same, but people tend to use these frontends quite differently. For example, I can't downvote a Lemmy post in Elk (the software I use to follow other people). I also anticipate Lemmy posts to be more "community-oriented" in the way information is surfaced (like Reddit), whereas Mastodon is more focused on following a person or organization (like Twitter). There's no wrong way to use the technology, but I do find the use cases helpful in organizing my expectations.
