Has any of the OSINT/INFOSEC crowd moved to mastodon or somewhere other then twitter?

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.
You might want to add a column for Bluesky/AT Protocol people too.
If you change the CSV format, you break the ability to import it directly to mastodon.
I really doubt if this can be imported into Mastodon as-is.
Wait, why? Do you doubt that Mastadon has that feature, or doubt the validity of the CSV?
Not mine. :)
This is the best mastodon instance, Jerry is cool
They have almost completely migrated to Mastodon
What about Threads? Isn't that supposed to be the Twitter-killer?
The 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.

4. no loginwall for post and profile
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.

Threads lasted for like a week
Not available officially in Europe, for one
not available in EU.
Threads is too new for large communities to coalesce there yet.
