I did the same thing when I set up Mastodon again. I think this is much more useful than any list, which will always be out-of-date. That said, a list would be shorter.

I > can't decide. If it is about reading twitter entries related with KDE people, Twitter clients (web or local) are a much better place than our Planet. I think that a well structured set of links that redirect Planet readers coming from different social media platforms to out most popular contents would be a better approach than the current feed. I am a avid Twitter user. What I miss though is a proper feed of KDE people I can read in a Twitter client. I would create a Twitter list in the KDE Community Twitter account and add a big and prominent link to the feed of that list in several places, being the KDE planet web one of them. This way instead of following KDE people by adding them to my followers one by one, I would do it through the list. Those of us who use Twitter aggregators would really appreciate it. Thanks for asking. I appreciate that from time to time you question the status quo and come out with these questions. Best Regards Agustin
Planet KDE's Twitter KDE List
Planet KDE has a feed of Twitter posts from a manually curated list of KDE people on it. This is below the Reddit feed and Mastodon KDE account feed. It replaced the embedded #kde tag in Twitter when they removed the ability to embed that. Since it's been set up I've had nobody suggest themselves or others be added to the feed and I fear it'll just get more off topic and irrelevant. Does anyone have an opinion on whether it's useful and interesting? I can't decide. Jonathan
