Hello /m/cybersecurity folks! Wanted to get a pulse check on those who use this particular community. I mod both here at Fedia as well as at infosec.pub for /cybersecurity. I run a few weekly threads (e.g. Mentorship Monday) at infosec.pub and have tried to run those same weekly threads here but they get barely any traction, whether that be because they are redundant with infosec.pub or because people here are just not that active yet. For those who main Kbin/Fedia, is there anything you’d like to see that I can help with (weekly threads, community engagement style posts, etc…)? For those who sub here and at infosec.pub, is there anything Kbin adds that you feel is worth pointing out?
Unless some folks come out in favor of keeping the weekly threads here at Fedia, I will stop them and focus on having those threads over at infosec.pub.
Cheers and happy threadiversing!
It’s revolting & sad to see cybersecurity communities on instances that are antithetical to infosec, such as:
- [email protected] ← Cloudflare site (thus disrespects confidentiality, deliberately configured as tor-hostile “CF Threat Score BLOCK”)
- [email protected] ← Cloudflare site (thus disrespects confidentiality, incompetently configured with defaults)
- [email protected] ← too big… not necessarily antithetical to cybersec but antithetical to the fedi concept of decentralization
fedia.io is an infosec-centric instance which actually respects the privacy of participants. And the admin of fedia.io is the most competent I’ve seen in the fedi. So this mag should be getting all the cybersec traffic. The only solution I can think of is a movement to get people to first post on !cybersecurity and cross-post some content to the above groups in a way that ensures !cybersecurity is seen as the origin of the post to increase awareness.
