I really want to get into Mastodon on principle alone. The sticking point is, as with any new social network, I don't know anyone there.
If anyone can point me names in tech, particularly security or cryptography, that are worth following on Mastodon, I would probably be convinced.
- ColinWright 9y agoAs with any social network, you need to join, follow a few people, see what they say and who they quote, and then build your list of followees from there. I'm @ColinTheMathmoon@mathstodon.xyz[0][1] and I follow a few tech people. One is @cypherpunk on mastodon.social and then you can follow people quoted by them. Who would you like to follow? If you are on any Mastodon instance then you can follow anyone on any other instance.

- technion 9y agoThanks Colin! I think you've pointed at a reasonable start and an instance with a reasonable subject matter and sizing, and I'll go from there.
- ColinWright 9y agoIt's quiet there, really quiet, but there is a background of "stuff" going on, and if you follow me I'll try to make sure I boost some people of interest.
