A cyber-security researcher has exploited a glitch on the CIA's official Twitter account, to hijack a channel used for recruiting spies.
https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-67137773
a flaw in how X displays some links meant the full web address had been truncated to https //t.me/securelycont - an unused Telegram username.
As soon as Mr McSheehan noticed the issue, he registered the username so anyone clicking on the link was directed to his own channel, which warned them not to share any secret or sensitive information.
"I did it as a security precaution," he said.
"It's a problem with the X site that I've seen before - but I was amazed to see the CIA hadn't noticed."

How about #twxtSite to describe the platform bought by #DogCoinPusher?

Horray, #birdsite can now properly be labelled 'Turdsite'.
Just turn the 'x' 45 degrees in any direction.

#Birdsite removes #tweets about ‘#TransDayofVengeance’.
But #trans #activists were quick to point out that “#transdayofvengeance” is a #meme that has been around in the #trans #community for years and is not a #calltoviolence

Dear #lazyweb (#lazyverse?): is Post part of the #Fediverse? I thought maybe it was, but I couldn’t find anything to confirm that.

CW: Long ramble about Mastodon's "snowbirds"
The people who run over here whenever #Twitter has an issue only to jump right back when the smoke clears are going to end up with fewer and fewer #engagements the more they repeat that routine.
What I have discovered about #Mastodon is it is entirely about conversing. Over on the #birdsite these people would just label folks who embraced commenting on public posts as "reply guys"... as if there was something wrong with daring to intrude on their timelines.
Over here I've realized we're all basically #replyguys and that's how it functions. This place is like an old school #BBS or forum and those were entirely based on chatting it up with anyone who said anything that remotely interested you.
So these #snowbirds who rush over here, post a few things, then disappear again are going to see dwindling numbers for their backup account.
Why would people here continue to waste time on folks who have made it clear they don't want to see your responses and -- even if they do -- are going to fart right off as soon as they can log back into the #algorithm?
After the last #TwitterOutage (the #RateLimit evening) I immediately flagged several accounts from there that had created something here and realized they were like the relative who only shows up when they need money.
Except it isn't $$$ for them, it's those sweet #notifications they want the #Fediverse to supply whole their regular hangout is being fumigated.
On the other hand, for every #ElonMusk ego-fart we do end up with some new people who embrace the difference. So not everyone who races to their password vault for their #instance's credentials is poorly-dressed Uncle Larry.
Anyway it's almost #caturday stateside so here's something for sticking around for this late night #ZZZQuil brain dump. Our big, doofy boy:

People on Fediverse tend to identify #Twitter as "Birdsite".
Some time ago, we began calling it "#turdSite". We knew what was happening on #legacySocialMedia. We didn't need so-called "investigative journalists" to tell us, nor the duplicitous new owner.

🧐 My experience of #birdsite alternatives—
🐝 Hive: #KidLit & some #Comics folk. I have fewer followers & less engagement. No learning curve.
🐘 Mastodon: academics, journalists. Few #KidLit or #Comics people. I have more followers & engagement. Tiny learning curve.
🐦💩 10 days ago, I deleted my #birdsite (#turdsite?) acct. Not supporting a narcissist who replatforms seditionists, white supremacists, & other promoters of violence & hate.
🤔 I miss my #birdsite friends, but I’m not going back. -
Peterson’s last words on #Turdsite:
> The endless flood of vicious insult is really not something that can be experienced anywhere else. I like to follow the people I know but I think the incentive structure of the platform makes it intrinsically and dangerously insane. ~ 17 May 2022
Prepare to see #JordanPeterson and about 50,000 humans of his 2.7mn supporters join Fedi.
Not an endorsement but he ought to be congratulated for working out it’s 95% #drone.

Just another #USMilitary contractor controls a dotCon.
