Hey Pub-folk of /c/cybersecurity! Wanted to get a quick pulse-check and collect some thoughts from the community here regarding their usage both current and future. I’ll

  1. Would anyone like to see weekly threads created for things like #mentorshipmonday? If so, let me know what kind of weekly threads you all would find useful/interesting.
  2. There are a few infosec/cyber-related communities that have popped up both here on infosec.pub and elsewhere (e.g. kbin.social, fedia.io, etc…). Some are more niche, while others similarly general as this community. What is everyone’s thoughts in terms of where they plan to spend their time? I want to be mindful of the fracturing and try to build something here that people find useful.
  3. Do you think the “threadiverse” (kbin, Lemmy, etc…) is a viable alternative to Reddit for you? (Assuming you were on reddit originally).
  4. If you have any other thoughts or suggestions for the community please share them here as well! Thanks!

    1. Yes, I think a lot of discussion in cybersecurity is the outcomes, but not enough is talked about underlying cause and the boring stuff like slow incremental improvement and doing the fundamentals. Some discussion on that would be great.
    2. I’m intending to watch the different spaces as they evolve, I’ve got a presence on fedio.io, here and the infosec.exchange Mastodon instance and I’m still watching Reddit blueteamsec (though not posting). I don’t mind some pluralism in the community, it’s a good thing, it just makes it a bit harder (but we should be wary of easy, that’s what commercial solutions will always drive but that doesn’t work out so well!)
    3. Yes, definitely.
    4. I think the big move from Twitter to infosec.exchange was a sign of how a community can thrive in a non-commercial space, and how the power lies with us, not the platform.

    1. I think that’s a great idea. If nothing else it should encourage people to engage more with the community.
    2. I plan to mostly spend my time here, as this instance is focused on security and that’s where i want to spend my time. I may subscribe elsewhere but i plan for this to be home base.
    3. I think it could be, if enough people use it and provide content. Content is king.
    4. I really want this to work! I would love to see federated services be able to reach a decent level of adoption.
