If you have a good list of accounts in an area of interest to you (say, music, for example) it would be wonderful to make an importable file for new users. It would help new arivals a lot if there were files available. I know there are academics lists and journaiist lists. Can we find a way to put all these together somewhere for download?
Academics:

I've been monitoring five social networks and none have the features and the diverse population of Mastodon.
I wish there was a way to assemble the "news pulse" posters, journalists, officials, cities, scientists that the other site had in 2014 when it had real utility.
Although many of the above are here, they don't represent the density they did there back in the day and are not investing as much time, which is understandable.
@b870d4c8 The even cooler thing to do is to MAKE lists of people you follow for interests that you share with others. You can then publish these or give them to friends to import.
You may already know that such importable lists are in the form of CSV files.
@b870d4c8 If that is what you want. I imported a list of over 1,000 journalists. Not all of them are active. Some are local, so when I saw local news from 5,000 miles away, I unfollowed that account. Everything you do on Mastodon is your choice (within what is available on the platform). I also followed lists of climatologists, other sciences, and a few hundred musicians.
The Import/Export feature of Mastodon is incredibly useful and I don't know of any other (non-fed) social platform that has it.
Lists can be compiled and shared for import. You'll find some here, but there are many, many others.

@28c4bd15 "An electronics expert creates a huge bookie broadcast system for his crime boss, and takes over operations when his boss is murdered. His greed leads him on a deadly destructive path."
There's a trailer that explains.
