One of the things I would miss here on Mastodon was all of the alerts from my local infrastructure and government twitter accounts. These will likely take a very long time to make the migration.

UK's General Hockenhull has spoken about the importance of #OSINT in the war in Ukraine.
He identifies 6 key impacts that OSINT has made:
1) Adding to anticipatory intelligence. Understanding the posture of forces and the fusion of commercial imagery, tech data and social media analysis, provided significant insight into Russian deployments.
2) Shifting public confidence. We had the ability to share information around Russian activity widely [...] at the point of invasion and beyond. >
