Can't believe we ended up with a fragmented community now across broken Twitter and Mastodon… what a loss

@KrauseFx looks like all nerds moved to Mastodon, everyone else stayed on Twitter

@Danteusz It feels like way less than of the Twitter iOS folks have moved, but maybe I'm wrong cc @steipete

@KrauseFx @Danteusz I get more replies over at Twitter, but my follower base is also much larger there. It feels quite divided though which is unfortunate.

@steipete @KrauseFx @Danteusz big brain move: Can't get fewer replies on Twitter if you're not posting there

@ctietze @steipete @KrauseFx @Danteusz

I think it's less "the nerds" than “the former tweetbot (now ivory) users” 😂

@KrauseFx @steipete Probably depends who you follow. I unfollowed everyone from Twitter who moved to Mastodon, almost no one from iOS community left there

@KrauseFx It's horrendous. Can't do threads on here. Can't find half the people I want to here, and over there many just don't show up.

@KrauseFx #Mastodon needs a way to combine local feeds of multiple like-minded servers. Imagine if you could combine local feeds of all these scattered #Infosec communities:

https://defcon.social/public/local
https://infosec.exchange/public/local
https://ioc.exchange/public/local
https://cybervillains.com/public/local
https://cyberplace.social/public/local
...

Right now they indeed feel fragmented in Mastodon too.

DEF CON Social

DEFCON.social = The intersection of technology and society, a community for artists, hackers, policy, academics, researchers, infosec, activists & cyberpunks

Mastodon hosted on defcon.social

@KrauseFx "Let's goooo!"

Yeah the feeling of having a space to connect with seemingly everyone was quite nice. But then again it's over a decade of content and account (and trust) building vs. people have just migrated to Mastodon on a whim.

@alexito4 I synced my followings as well as I could and went from 682 to 156…

@KrauseFx are all those humans? I lost comoany/news accounts but I don’t consider that a lost haha humans I think I just miss a couple of nin tech friends that didn’t use Twitter much anyway. All circles are different I guess :)

@alexito4 It's a mix for sure. I'd have to go through the Following list manually and check who I'm missing.
