All 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!

This sounds overly dramatic and conspiratorial.

People are allowed to be private and not want others to follow them by not saying exactly where they moved. I am allowed to voice my frustration about that.
Segregating communities is the trend now (post web 2.0 social platforms), I don't think that is over dramatizing things.

Why conspiratorial? People are allowed to be private and not want others to follow them by not saying exactly where they moved. I am allowed to voice my frustration about that. Segregating communities is the trend now (post web 2.0 social platforms), I don't think that is over dramatizing things.

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.

Don't forget that Twitter was actively censoring Mastodon links and preventing users from putting them in their Twitter profiles: https://mastodon.social/@danluu/109521316258129814
