Katharine Hayhoe: Welp - just spent 2h carefully curating a climate science starter pack of 50 scientists who are regularly active here. Pushed the last button and got the message, "Failed to create a starter pack." Tried again a few times, then tried going back, went too far back, and now it's ALL GONE. Any advice?

Dang, I’m sorry. We’ll look into it

Thank you! And if you would be so kind as to increase the number of accounts that would be fantastic. Around 100 would be perfect. I'm looking to strongly encourage the climate science community on X to move over here and this will be a big help.

We can talk about it — it’s actually a technical limitation. Following more than 50 at once taxes the system a bit

Maybe you could segment the accounts into different categories (and starter packs), and advertise them eventually in different ways even.

Already doing that, thanks!

Virtually every person I'm following here is a climate scientist or activist. I come to blue sky to keep up to date on climate.

Maybe ask @pfrazee.com

thanks! here's the message ... working in a browser (firefox)

Amplifying call for @pfrazee.com here: OP curated the most prolific lists of climate researchers and practitioners on old Twitter. Please help them out!

starter packs are a cold idea, help make them work @pfrazee.com pls

*a cool idea

:-( Sorry that happened! Haven’t tried to put something together, but @costasamaras.bsky.social did

Yes I’d love it to go to 100. Thanks! I have four lists I’m working on that compliment yours - climate science, justice, communication, and solutions - but I’ll hold till I figure out what the bug is that’s causing it to fail for me.

hey @pfrazee.com these four starter packs would be great for numbers, world

Thank you! I didn't know this was possible and had a hard time finding accounts that are active and trustworthy

Exasperating!

Uggghhhh

Sorry, that really sucks. I don't know what I would do to overcome this obstacle, but I might have a glass of wine to feel better about it for a few minutes.

In these situations I find it best to walk to the nearest cafe and have a delicious cappuccino.

1. don't do that (put in a lot of effort on something without making backup copies) 2. go do something else for a while :( I sincerely wish I could say I've never hat that happen to me.

Ugh, that's awful. I hope you wrote down your choices. Even if you just post them as follow recommendations that would be really helpful. Thanks for your continuing public work in this crucial area.

unfortunately I only wrote down half of them. Sigh!

I hate when things like that happen. Big waste of time.
