p.s. Sorry for the lack of descriptions in this thread! This is a roundup of a very large category, so there were just too many accounts to fit in all the descriptions. The thread would have been ridiculously long 😅 so I left out the descriptions.
Shorter threads will still get descriptions, it's just the mega-long ones that get abbreviated like this.
Also, all of these accounts are described in their entry on https://fedi.directory/
