Hey Pub-folk of /c/cybersecurity! Wanted to get a quick pulse-check and collect some thoughts from the community here regarding their usage both current and future. I'll

Would anyone like to see weekly threads created for things like #mentorshipmonday? If so, let me know what kind of weekly threads you all would find useful/interesting.
There are a few infosec/cyber-related communities that have popped up both here on infosec.pub and elsewhere (e.g. kbin.social, fedia.io, etc...). Some are more niche, while others similarly general as this community. What is everyone's thoughts in terms of where they plan to spend their time? I want to be mindful of the fracturing and try to build something here that people find useful.
Do you think the "threadiverse" (kbin, Lemmy, etc...) is a viable alternative to Reddit for you? (Assuming you were on reddit originally).
If you have any other thoughts or suggestions for the community please share them here as well! Thanks!

Understood. I'm thinking a "What are you working on Wednesday" weekly thread. This could be used for people to sound off on cool niche things they are doing either on-the-job, or just side-learning.
Yep, I too have a Fedia presence and assuming @Jerry@infosec.exchange can muscle his way through the various #kbin issues I think that instance has a bright future. As I said here, I think the multiple communities will be a strength as it was with Reddit, but even more so thanks to the additional capabilities of federation.
Nice!
Yep, the threadiverse/fediverse, w/e seems perfect for niche interest groups and maybe a little more challenging for larger interest groups (of which I would consider cybersecurity to be one of the latter). That said, we are (we as in those within the "IT" sphere) are always going to be good at adopting new technologies and helping them grow so it makes sense for us to have come here and found pretty quick success.
