They've basically moved onto https://nafo.uk / Mastodon instance now, if you wanna see what its mostly about. (I guess I see on Mastodon.world as well)

Twitter is obviously hostile to them, so they were basically forced to move. Given that Threads is likely going to be Mastodon/Fediverse compatible, that basically means that pro-Ukrainian side will be migrating off of Twitter and likely be compatible with Meta / Instagram Threads.

Good for them. I’m mostly interested in OSINT content, not so much war propaganda.

For OSINT, I usually use the Institute for the Study of War.

I also prefer OSINT stuff over propaganda memes. But I don't think that the propaganda memes should be deboosted / shadowbanned, especially if they are ya know? Honest memes / funnier stuff SFW?

The question is of Twitter and their shadowban policy. They're still clearly shadowbanning / deboosting / manipulating results. Its just switched politics, that's all.

Yes, that’s one of the sources I use as well.

I’m still not convinced that they are, to be honest.
