- mepian 3y agoThere's an entire Mastodon instance of infosec people here: https://infosec.exchange/about https://infosec.exchange/about
- ZunarJ5 3y agoA whole list of infosec folks on there for importing, if anyone wants: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t13k5_cNhP9_TgoUmqDZk2ROkWkF6Bg3O5269vKIqWw/edit#gid=2024884983 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t13k5_cNhP9_TgoUmqDZ...
- mattl 3y agoYou might want to add a column for Bluesky/AT Protocol people too.
- ZunarJ5 3y agoNot mine. :)
- xena 3y agoIf you change the CSV format, you break the ability to import it directly to mastodon.
- mattl 3y agoI really doubt if this can be imported into Mastodon as-is.
- beepbooptheory 3y agoWait, why? Do you doubt that Mastadon has that feature, or doubt the validity of the CSV?
- mattl 3y agoYeah I doubt the validity of this as-is.
- technofiend 3y agoHoly carp, that's handy! The only downside to moving to a new social media platform is curating a new set of people to follow and unfollow, which is more overhead than I'm willing to endure. But starting with a list like this means just having to unfollow people who take a "build a brand" approach via quantity rather than quality. So, thank you.
- fsmv 3y agoThis is the best mastodon instance, Jerry is cool
- sylens 3y agoThey have almost completely migrated to Mastodon

- genmud 3y agoMany had automation that broke with the twitter api being rug pulled. Others don't care for the way they systematically dismantled their trust and safety team. And finally, some just don't like the direction the platform is heading. Twitter has made it clear they don't care about their employees, their platform users or anything but frantically trying to extract a bit of money out of zombie company.
- rsynnott 3y agoThis is... fairly normal; possibly people forget because we have been in a period of relative stability for social networks, but this is how it usually works. It's basically how web forums reproduced, when those were the primary form of social media; forum starts to get a bit shit, people get annoyed, communities within that forum start decamping en masse for elsewhere (often a completely new forum). It's a fairly natural human behaviour; if the people you interact with go to X, you probably go to X, too. I mean, what do you expect to happen? 20% to Mastodon, 20% to Threads, 20% to T2, 20% to Bluesky, 20% stay, to avoid being perceived as a 'hivemind'? This is actually one reason I think it's rather unlikely that there will be a single Twitter-killer, with everyone from Twitter moving to Threads or whatever and then continuing on as normal. Threads will probably be the biggest (particularly if it manages to launch in the EU; that's a big problem for it right now), but I'd expect a year from now that there'll be Threads, a bunch of Mastodon instances (maybe more loosely federated than today, probably more community-oriented), maybe Bluesky (I don't personally _get_ it, but some people seem to like it) and a rump Twitter.
- sylens 3y agoThe tech community in general but especially the infosec community has strong representation from the LGBTQ community. It should be no surprise that Musk’s antics would drive that community off the site before others. The fact that they are more technically competent than other Twitter sub-communities (like sports or movies) means that the initial learning curve of Mastodon was not a blocker.
- HKH2 3y agoWhat about Threads? Isn't that supposed to be the Twitter-killer?
- DoctorOW 3y agoThe people leaving Twitter want: 1. Both high quality and high quantity posts instantly available 2. Reasonable API access, maybe not directly but they want their niche workflows to be supported 3. Clear and consistent moderation. Eliminate disruptive content while giving reasonable people a clear understanding of whether something will be removed before they post it. Threads has made vague promises to these three but not yet delivered.
- fomine3 3y ago4. no loginwall for post and profile
- werid 3y agonot available in EU.
- SideburnsOfDoom 3y agoInfosec and similar communities migrated off twitter starting months ago. Threads was not an option then, and isn't of much interest to these communities (as a platform to socialise upon) now.
- bovermyer 3y agoThreads is too new for large communities to coalesce there yet.
- mschuster91 3y agoNot available officially in Europe, for one
- avithedev 3y agoThreads lasted for like a week
