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 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.
