The Death of Infosec Twitter

Re: The Death of Infosec Twitter
#32Has any of the OSINT/INFOSEC crowd moved to mastodon or somewhere other then twitter?
What about Threads? Isn't that supposed to be the Twitter-killer?
Infosec 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.

They have almost completely migrated to Mastodon

The 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.

#35This same exact thing happened to the blind community, of which I'm a member of. Blind Twitter was pretty vibrant before Elon took over, but that changed almost completely around November/December of last year. The killer change for us was the death of third-party clients, on which blind people relied almost exclusively. The whole community is on Mastodon now, mostly concentrated around two instances, though there are plenty of people elsewhere.

#38All of the infosec people I follow have moved to Mastodon. As someone with primarily tech related interests, I'm currently finding Mastodon as good or better than Twitter at it's prime.

What I dislike about Mastodon is how people talk about "moving to Mastodon".
Unlike Twitter, FB etc. you don't just "move to Mastodon"... you move to some ActivityPub server. Which one? They don't want you to know I guess?
Edit: thanks for the pointers!
