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
I'm more about tech people casually dropping they moved to Mastodon, us techies kinda get Mastodon is not a single place like Twitter so the only explanation for not saying "I moved from Twitter to such or such community" is not wanting people to know.

The only explanation for something that people are, in your own words, "casually dropping"? Your comment practically contradicts itself.
Re: The Death of Infosec Twitter
#53This 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 ar…
Glad to hear a new home was found. My child and I began to analyze random public braille the other day out of random interest and found it was surprisingly easy to pick up a few letters, apparently being both alphabetic and potentially conceived as some kind of semi-derived state from regular roman shapes which provides a handy memory reference for we sighted people. I'd be very interested to hear what the best braille interfaces are. How long does it take to learn to use it for input? How do totally blind people handle the presumed need to switch between typing (on a regular keyboard, I would assume) and "input" (fingers on a braille generating device) modes at once? I suppose the staccato nature of this type of interaction harks back heavily to the old days of Unix, limited baud terminals and early micros.

There's an entire Mastodon instance of infosec people here: https://infosec.exchange/about
A whole list of infosec folks on there for importing, if anyone wants: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t13k5_cNhP9_TgoUmqDZ...
Holy 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.

#59this is so sad rip
rip? its not dead, it just moved. the community just shifted to a platform that is _much_ more suited to the community’s needs. - it’s open, in more ways than just the obvious. while twitter is narrowing in just about every direction you can think of. - significantly higher signal that isn’t lost amongst a bunch of noise. - relates to above, but kinda different: waay better quality of discourse. just much more pleasa…
They probably meant RIP Twitter, RIP what it once was and used to be capable of.
