Request - Include Mastodon ID for members of congress
A growing number of members of congress are joining the social network Mastodon as a potential alternative to Twitter.
Here's a link to the document that is being maintained that tracks the members on Mastodon and their ID's
We (the GovTrack team) will be looking at adding it as a part of the update for the 118th Congress. If someone wants to add the data for the current members before then, that's totally fine with me. As with our other social media data, it should exclude accounts operated by reelection campaigns.
The spreadsheet linked to is being managed by me, and I'm confirming with every member whether it's their official (and not political) account.
I don't scale, alas.
