@davidslifka @gaberivera any kind of thing. at ALL. I see a news article mentioning a term or some post mentioning something. or a name. almost completely useless to search on mastodon unless it's a single word and made into a hashtag. most search queries are not single words and even those must be made into hashtags in order to be found. most people done bother unless it's some well established topic.
@gaberivera a lot of infosec people I follow have mostly moved back to twitter. disappointing but it's definitely the case. even those who were strongly advocating for leaving twitter and moving to Mastodon have done so. not sure why.

👎 UI issues surrounding following people on other instances continues to be a ***major*** pain point for the fediverse-curious and I hope developers will overcome this soon. 🙏

@gaberivera the 100%. the lack of good search tools on Mastodon is one of the reasons I still use twitter.

👉 Fediverse search (opt-in) needs to happen. Fight the naysayers. People are stumbling around in the dark here.
@ct_bergstrom yes, I saw the same. had to laugh at it. the man's vanity has no bounds. this is a new "feature" he had someone hastily program.

Musk takes responsibility for acting against U.S. national security and in the interests of the Russian terrorist state, in a manner almost certain to escalate the war.

The #IPAM workshop on #MachineAssistedProofs (which I am the lead organizer of) starts in less than an hour: http://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/workshops/machine-assisted-proofs/ . As an experiment, I plan to make some occasional posts on the workshop as comments to this post. (For people not already registered, the talks will be made available online one to two weeks after the event.)

@ZeroCovidColin #Covid is turning into the next #MassShooting. It will be happening all around us all the time and people will know what needs to be done, but the powers that be you will do everything in their power to confuse the issues. Thoughts and prayers for your dead love ones and little else.

1/ Inter-ethnic conflict has broken out between mobilised Tuvans and pro-Russian forces fighting in Ukraine. The Tuvans were incorporated into the forces of the 'Donetsk People's Republic' but complained of beatings and other mistreatment (see below). ⬇️

@andrew some big names are still on Twitter though which is quite disappointing. In my twitter feed I regularly see ads by Apple and Amazon.

Prediction: #Musk will start charging brands just to *use* #Twitter, calling it all advertising.
"Wells Fargo said it “paused our paid advertising on Twitter” but continues to use it as a social channel to engage with customers. The other brands did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Twitter’s top 1,000 advertisers plummeted by more than 60% from October through January 25, from around $127 million to just over $48 million, according to the data."

By his actions, Elon Musk is established as a powerful agent of influence of the Russian terrorist state.
A morally vacant nihilist, Musk cut a swath of destruction through Twitter. He took an online forum for public discourse and weaponized it for Russian information warfare.
