Yesterday was my 1st #Anniversary here, and what a year it has been. Yes, it happens that I joined on the innaugural #JohnMastodonDay, but that was all luck. I had decided weeks earlier that TwiXer was no longer the place for me, but it took me a couple weeks to decide where to go (in retrospect it was obvious, but at the time it felt like a gamble, and I wasn't interested in a "shotgun approach"). It was important to me to find a flourishing #InfoSec community, because over the years I have found this sort of community to be one of the best places for up-to-the-minute news about the industry that is my passion.
I joined with grand ideas about posting more, and being more involved in conversations, but that hasn't been over the first year, and frankly most of my posting is still over at #LinkedIn (you can find me through my bio if you're at all interested). But the reading...the reading has been exceptional, I appreciate the insights, the availability of perspectives across the world, across gender, and across roles and backgrounds here - and I'm still just talking about #CyberSecurity content and people.
I need to thank @jerry for taking on the challenge of making a place like this exist for us. I have another ID in the Fediverse (I'm a big believer of separating church and state) and I have the unique experience of seeing what a #Great instance like #InfosecExchange operates like, vs one that just sorta kinda exists, and it is night and day. Even with that said, thank you to all the instance admins out there for giving others a place on this platform as well.
Finally, thanks to all of you posting your thoughts, findings, and news. You're why I'm here, and it is your insights that make this community the special thing it really is. Keep being the brilliant, fantastic, broken, healing, bold, scared, and excellent people you are. I'll try to keep up.
