Anyone have a list of Ukraine OSINT folks that have made it over here yet? I need my regular dose of technicals (though they are so far past using techincals that I am in withdrawal, thank God).

I've got @osinttechnical. That's about it.

@Pwnallthethings Other frustrations with this place:
- nobody is able to pay to insert "promoted" toots into my timeline
- nobody puts random cards into my timeline trying to entice me to follow people I don't care about
- nobody ever fills my timeline with random posts people I follow have liked

It's sooo frustrating to be shown only the things I ask to be shown instead of a bunch of random crap I don't care about!

Reports from aviation-safety.net that a Precision Air ATR 42-500 (5H-PWE) has come down in Lake Victoria. Pretty large plane.

Lotta complaining about the unintuitiveness and learning curve of Mastodon from people who use Excel on a daily basis.

You can't make me write an . I will at some point but not yet. Just look at my bio, add in some shitposting, general Gen X complaining, out of the blue fandom things, and you've got a pretty good picture. Oh and cats.

People who say they are afraid of Mastodon not feeding their ADHD right have no idea what sitting in front of the federated feed feels like.

I think part of the appeal of the growing migration to mastodon is that we can look at Musk’s nonsense and collectively tell the richest man in the world: UNSUBSCRIBE. It’s downright empowering. (Alas not an option for Sam Alito, Trump, McConnell, Miller,, et al.)

Leaving you tonight with a photo of Rascal vibing to my guitar playing.

I've seen a few people ask what happens if the instance you are on closes down.

Tradition on Mastodon is that all the people on that instance are buried alive with the admin in a giant pyramid made of old phones and laptops. 😵

Oh man. Well. Hey Qoto! I really am a bench scientist, but I'm also a chronic shitposter. Sorry about the local timeline! It'll be fine! Everyone needs quality shitposts. Some of the best scientists I know from the bird site are the best shitposters. :blobcatcool:

If you're a Twitter migrant looking to rebuild your feed:

1) Consider using Debirdify to search your follows / followers for Mastodon info: pruvisto.org/debirdify/

2) Update your Twitter bio so others can find you with apps like Debirdify: twitter.com/MaxKennerly/status

3) Explore journa.host, which has lots of familiar Twitter folks: journa.host/explore

The latter is run by @adamdavidson

Well. I've migrated instances..Hopefully this will be a better fit!
