Καλησπέρα Greek people!

I was asked to provide more Greek account recommendations, but I've had trouble finding good accounts partly due to the language barrier. It is also difficult for me to judge how problematic the content might be as it is not my language.

Can you recommend good non-problematic Greek accounts that might be wanting public followers, either in Greek or about Greece?

Just FYI, I vet every account I recommend on FediFollows, and I also use server blocklists to prevent making recommendations of accounts from known problematic servers.

If you see something unsuitable/problematic mentioned on my recommended account lists, please DM me and let me know! I do screen everything, but sometimes things slip through the net.
