Understandable. Our priority right now is politician and agency posts though and these accounts are just not very active on mastodon or threads. We can look further into it and another comment mentioned this too.

There are two parts here

1. Platforms politicians, governments, and media

2. Platforms which have an open (and free?) API

Bluesky seems to be the only one covering both, though less coverage on #1 than others, minus Mastodon
