@FediWouter : it very much (if not 100%) depends on the moderators of the particular instance.
I very much appreciate the mods of https://infosec.exchange for not bending for the stream of reports they recieve for my account.

the nature of the Fediverse
If i were to extrapolate the entire universe from a small piece of fairy cake i'd posit it's more likely this factor. Though i still have an #aussocial Masto account, i go many long months not using it [coz i dislike its not using the #GlitchSoc fork with the benefits that gives] & instead use my Merkan #InfosecSpace Masto [having migrated to it many months ago from its older sibling #InfosecExchange Masto]. The owner / admin @jerry does a brilliant job not only technically, but also very much in setting a decent "tone" of the Instance. I deliberately never used any of the cesspitmedia, but see almost nothing of that toxicity here & hereabouts, from Merkans & Others alike. Many others before me have already opined this, but fwiw imo afaict tla pfj jpf the lack of algorithm in the #fediverse disincentivises the arseholes... plus remembering the original raison d'etre of the fediverse was as a safe space for those whose identity & beliefs made them targets in the cesspitmedia, sets a lasting [i hope] ethos.
Or something.
@bazkie I am inclined to go to #infosecexchange but they also block Threads - The #mit server has a 500 limit so that's out.
Hummm - No wonder people have problems joining #Mastodon
Where is #JohnMastodon when you need him!?
I seem to be missing the typical infosec.exchange (or mastodon) logo on my top left. I can still click it to go back to home but don't see any logo there. Seems to show the icon when making the window very small but not the middle sized logo like typically with this size. Have there been any updates on this recently?
(third pic is from other instance with default logos with similar width than the main image that's missing it)
Tried getting online using Quad9's dns.
I was wondering why i couldn't connect.
I don't think this is supposed to happen...
Hey, did the infosec.exchange icon change from a red shield/triangle thingy to the blue Mastodon logo in the last 24 hours or so?
Hey, @jerry! With all the news on the #TikTok bans, and the change in the #social media landscape in general, I am wondering about something. mastodonservers.net claims this instance has around 30k users. I am sure, there are a few bad apples in such a large group.
So, here is my question: How exactly are you keeping up with moderating the infosec.exchange instance? Is it just free to post anything? Or is there considerable amount of #moderation going on from your side? Are you having some #volunteers on supporting your moderation efforts? Or is it even automated?
Just curious, no judgement. In my years on infosec.exchange, I haven't seen much unwelcomed posts here :)

@jerry and #InfosecExchange ingeneral
Have you found an android app to view peertube vids? I see one i can use to go live if i want but havent found one to interact. Is it mostly just webbased?
Is #infosecexchange just down for me or is this the upgrade to the mahoosive database, @jerry ?
Question for the #fediverse and maybe #infosecexchange in particular: have you ever seen a freeze when opening an image in your timeline?
I just witnessed a 3 second system freeze whilst loading an image preview after clicking on it in my timeline, saw a mesh pattern in the box where the image eventually loaded and couldn't do anything but count the seconds.
I just moved to a new instance in the new year.
¡Adiós, old, Hola, new!
#InfosecExchange, to be specific.
I am a caretaker for two sweet rabbits, a hiker, reader, & Spanish teacher in NH, USA, land stolen from the Abenaki, Penacook, & Wabanaki. My area was once (still is!) a travel hub, connecting the populations of neighboring regions.
I am interested in a wide variety of topics: #education, #linguistics, #anti-racism, #audiobooks, #climate, #literature, #philosophy, #mythology, #archaeology, #foss, #cybersecurity, #politics, #healthcare, #FolkMusic, #organizing, #languages, #OpenSource, #psychology
Edited for a missing #Hashtag symbol and some slight rewording.
Hello, world! I just moved my Mastodon profile to the #InfosecExchange instance, so this seems like a good opportunity to renew my #introduction toot.
I've been quietly present on Mastodon since 2018. The #TwitterMigration renewed my interest (and hope!) in the #ActivityPub ecosystem. I've recognized a lot of familiar names on #InfosecExchange, so I'm very excited to be here!
I recently finished school—by the skin of my teeth, I'll now admit—and last month I started my first real job. My title is #PlatformEngineer, but I'm still figuring out what that means. I mostly poke things with a stick and write tickets about things that wobble. They seem to like it, so I'm pretty happy with the arrangement!
My biggest hobby is having strong opinions. Video games distract me from that, but I'm not very good at them, so I quickly return to the opinion-having. I also like collecting books that I never read, especially textbooks with lots of pages.
