I haven’t been on twitter in over a year now, intentionally. I’m curious, for those who still log on to Twitter from time to time or even on a daily basis, what’s it like over there now?
Seems like most of the infosec community has moved over to either this instance or another on mastodon, but every now and then I’ll see someone post a link to a tweet/thread on Twitter from someone I followed.
I’m curious to know if I logged back into twitter if I’d find anything of value, or if it’s pretty much all right wing fascists/nazis/christian nationalists now?
↪ I'd say about ~15%+ of new followers one has are these bots. But, there's still an awfull lot of good intel that gets posted
I'm now convinced that keeping #advertisers away from #Mastodon restricts revenue for instances that could upgrade their kit to handle a new influx of #Twitterati
Imagine if #ElonMusk suddenly has a system outage and VAST numbers of #twitterati sign up to all the other services and #Mastodon got just one third of them... ⤵
Writer #KateWagner may have seemed like an odd choice to cover the luxury world of FormulaOne. …FormulaOne races…have become pit stops on the jet-set circuit, where the cheapest general-admission tickets start around $500. Still, #RoadAndTrack mag commissioned Wagner to cover a FormulaOne race in Austin last fall, sending her on a trip funded by British petrochemicals co INEOS. https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/media/2024/03/05/formula-one-road-track-kate-wagner/
…It’s possible that #KateWagner’s piece ruffled more feathers in the #AutomotiveIndustry than the typical Road & Track story. …Wagner’s is the kind of grand, impolite story that is increasingly rare in the struggling #magazine industry, where surviving outlets depend on not offending the #advertisers or #celebrities they feature.
