I have public lists of cybersecurity reporters and pundits on both BlueSky and Mastodon and find it simultaneously encouraging and discouraging how much of the Americans’ content has changed from cybersecurity research to tangential privacy rights and even just social justice in the past six months.

We have reached a 50% tipping point for sure. We are way lower on the hierarchy of needs, (bad), but it’s good we are talking about it consistently.

Between the manufactured AI hype crumbling and people being dragged off in the streets, it gives me hope we are taking about human rights.

So keep it up, hacker community. When I left Twitter, it was only a few of us speaking out about what we didn’t want to enable. We were mocked and ignored. There wasn’t a huge change in content. I’m glad people have started to realize the reality of the battles we face.

@hacks4pancakes I will keep feeling encouraged until seeing everyone "business as usual" with all their might at RSA

@hacks4pancakes I never thought I’d end up staying to fight, but I’m glad to be in Chicago rather than anywhere else in this country. More than anywhere it feels like existence is resistance. I’m tired, but I’m hopeful.

My backup plan became less great when the UK decided to embrace the TERF island moniker completely, so this remains home as imperfect and embattled as it may be.

I just hope if and when we exit this test of our democracy that it changes permanently for the better, and that we get our rights back in full.

@hacks4pancakes I went back for two weeks due to an event. Took a week to retrain the feed to not show me nazi BS. And even then the feed was not fun.
At very least twitter is very sickly and not very sticky for people who have functioning brain matter.

I noted this would happen years ago.

There is no reason to constantly worry about security problems in hardware and software, when you do not have privacy.

Full disclosure: I am over 18 years of age and do not use any apps in any State that demands age verification.

@SpaceLifeForm @hacks4pancakes Further, when the authorities/holders of power are bent on doing harm through the systems you'd be securing, work to further secure them is contributing to harm.

@hacks4pancakes I think a lot of people have been forced to reflect and learn a lot of things about themselves lately

@brad why the fuck would anyone be doing that with who is in the white house... that is the example... I could go around and burn down peoples houses and I would still have the moral authority of being better than the president. You guys are sometimes delusional.

@systemadminihater are you a soft headed baby?

@brad No, I think that anyone that claims that other people are "reflecting" on themselves right now is a total fucking moron.

@systemadminihater you should be embarrassed about being so simple

@hacks4pancakes do you have a shared list on Mastodon somewhere? I feel like as part of the transition I lost a lot of security professionals I followed

@oneguynick Sure, https://tisiphone.net/2025/03/18/updated-infosec-mastodon-lists/

@hacks4pancakes @oneguynick great list , now let’s figure out how to import these lists , mastodon already has built-in support for RSS which is amazing so I wonder…..

@nixfreak @hacks4pancakes I am hopeful that these find their way into the starter packs the Mastodon foundation talked about last week
