Who is on your personal wishlist of people you would really like to see on Mastodon who aren't here yet? I would really like to see Rob Lee, Dale Peterson, Malcolm Nance, and Michael Okuda. I can only pester Rob, but thus far it has not worked.
Maybe if you say it out loud, someone they know will see this and poke them 🍸🤷🏻‍♀️
@hacks4pancakes +99 for Malcolm Nance for sure!
@smorreel he's super busy but I am already missing his voice.

@hacks4pancakes Dave Navarro.

But I'll be fine with Anna Calvi or Neko Case being around too.

@hacks4pancakes Ezra Furman would be cool too.

idk if any of these people program, hack or do infosec or observability... but they make great music and should be here!

@2w1s7ed omg it’s true she hasn’t! She’s super active on Instagram so I didn’t notice
@hacks4pancakes Ian Coldwater @ian reports that there's an active right-wing hater brigade organizing to report a list of 5000 mostly-leftist people (including Ian, TheGruqq, PwnAllTheThings, JortsTheCat, congressmembers, news people, antifa groups, etc.) all of whom would be good to have a home for over here.

“Right winger are organizing a false mass report campaign of over 5000 Twitter accounts in a blatant attempt to deplatform the Left”

@billstewart415 @ian yea Chad already got suspended it’s true
@hacks4pancakes The list has a lot of good people on it. (Too many for me to follow them all, though :-)

@hacks4pancakes
Charles Shirer.
We need our infosec cheerleader/hype-man.

@bsdbandit dis you?

Edit: it is!

@hacks4pancakes Kara Swisher, Scott Galloway, Gergely Orosz (The Pragmatic Engineer)

@hacks4pancakes I'd like to see institutional accounts from institutional instances, for example mastodon.gov for US.

I'd also like to see something that is journalists related and could be currated enough that it was reasonable to have some confidence in it.

@hacks4pancakes honestly I think I’m missing a ton of #blacktechtwitter folks I followed 😞 I’ve been keeping an eye on threads (here and on the bird site) about creating safe spaces for Black people over here or elsewhere, but haven’t seen a ton of movement yet.
@muteki we need to be out there daily amplifying and supporting #BlackMastadon #blackincyber #blackfriday for sure
@hacks4pancakes Ok that’s a black friday I can actually get behind 😁
@muteki yea it’s pretty great, good for them!
@muteki @hacks4pancakes "If you build it they will come" ??? Rome wasn't built in a day. These things take time.
@danlinux @hacks4pancakes True, but inconsistent moderation standards across different Mastodon instances makes marginalized and underrepresented folks rightfully more cautious than many of us about moving over.
@muteki @hacks4pancakes That is an interesting observation and you have a good point. I choose to embrace the two for now. Mastadon is a tool and so is Twitter. These things take time and the concept of a federated social media medium can be sloppy at times. I believe as more join in and share their voices this can get better. [I value your opinion and voice... good day to you :)]
@hacks4pancakes in the infosec circle? The only person I still notice actively posting on the bird site but can’t find over here is Cori “Corgi” Brown.
@hacks4pancakes tell him that all the nerds are doing it, and that it’s an effective way to hear about all the cool stuff in EVE.
(I’ve found two accounts of other EVE players)
=D
@hacks4pancakes though as for who I’d like to see on here, probably most of my acquaintances through Internet Spaceships of one sort or other.
Too many to list, but I’d like to see how CCP or CIG would go about establishing their presence. Would be nice to see companies make their own instances to assure identity.
@hacks4pancakes The rest of the cast from Star Trek Discovery 😍
@hacks4pancakes i can offer you 50% of Malcolm Nance 😂
@hacks4pancakes Please keep pestering Rob for all of us!
@wennefer Vern, Jimmy, and I tried. It’s up to y’all now.
@hacks4pancakes
I’d like to see @malwarejake online 😌
Jake took a small break from birdsite a few weeks ago but is back again, and despite his account here, he isn’t here…
Really missing Jake!
@hacks4pancakes maybe an unpopular take but I wouldn't mind seeing some of the silly brand accounts on here too like Wendy's, moon pie etc. I've got no problem with brands wanting social media representation, and I like that
'don allows less artificial inflation of them.
@corsairmo brands.town is hilarious but I do miss Steak Umms
@hacks4pancakes haven't explored that yet, I'll check it out! And yes to Steak Umms!
@corsairmo @hacks4pancakes Have you seen the Nihilist Wendy's account here? Scratches the itch for Nihilist Arby's. 😁​

@hacks4pancakes Okuda would be rad as hell.

SAINTCON and a whole lot of my Utah/801 friends.

Blenster, who's on a highly dubious and often blocked instance;

and a few twitter crushes that don't know I exist anyway, and that's fine.

@hacks4pancakes which Rob Lee? 😉
@anthony Both, but I’m talking about short Rob my CEO not tall Rob
@hacks4pancakes I assumed as much. I like your differentiators. I just think M or T 😁 But also agree

@hacks4pancakes Dr Becky Smethurst who also runs the YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@DrBecky

I am a fan of the enthusiasm with which she shares current events on space.

Dr. Becky

Your friendly neighbourhood astrophysicist. I'm Dr Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford. I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! I have also written a few books. My latest, "A Brief History of Black Holes", is available in hardback, e-book and audio (which I narrated myself!) My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
