Techy Geek 
I'm lost. I'm trying to find my tech info family. Anyone that posts info on privacy, tech, online threats, or anything else that 007 type of person likes? 
ocdtrekkie@techygeek Your local timeline on that server will definitely be a good place to start. Also note that you can both search for and follow hashtags, so you can see when people post about tags that interest you.
Billy SmithAlso, while it's fiction, @cstross has some effective idea's about what being a spy will look like with our current technology in his Laundry novels. :D
Charlie Stross@BillySmith @ocdtrekkie @techygeek TLDR version: not only is 007 not a spy, 007 is the *actual opposite* of a security service officer.
@cstross @BillySmith @ocdtrekkie I just like how he had cool gadgets. The reason why I tried to use 007 to explain what I was looking for was simply asking people to share any cool ideas, concepts or new tech that's available. I don't want to chop bad guys necks but the women he was involved with wouldn't be a bad thing lol. I said that to say that I'm not trying to be him, or associate myself with the agent 007 in any way. I love cool movies, tech, knowledge, freedom, computers (preferably Linux), good health, and I also like to stay informed. If you would like to share or if you know of anyone, groups, forums, or anything aligned with what I'm interested in, then that would be greatly appreciated.
@techygeek @cstross @ocdtrekkie
The real thing about 007's equipment is that everything gets used in the stories.
Q must have great pre-cognitive powers. :D
Bob JonkmanMore likely, if all Q had was a hammer, 007 would only see nails.
@ocdtrekkie I will take a look! I thought that was local to my area. Thanks for your help! 😅
Megan Carney@evacide is a good follow
Ianhopkinson@techygeek another vote for following hashtags, and add hashtags to your posts #infosec
@ianhopkinson Wow, thanks for the info. 😳

Even though there's a lot in common, Mastodon is more calm than the bird site, so posts don't really "go viral" and it can feel more isolated and smaller.
The system doesn't inherently hype things and "quote-toots" are not an option, so retoots are about the only way to get things seen. Even then, it takes effort to see threads (replies, parent posts) to take a toot in context since it shows up in the timeline like a standalone post. (There's been a lot of arguing about quote tweets in particular, with former Twitter users sharing how it enriches discussion and long-time Mastodon users not wanting it because it's often used in a toxic way... this is a gross simplification of the conversation but you get the idea.)
In a lot of ways Mastodon feels like a local BBS chat rooms from the '80s with much better graphics, more phone lines, and no dialup delays.
In addition to Infosec.exchange, there's also a DefCon server, HackerTown, and CounterSocial that tend to attract InfoSec folks. #InfoSec #HelloWorld
@K3n_5s Thanks for the info. You guys have put me on the fast track to finding great communities I can socialize in. I'm very appreciative for all the help!
