Welcome to the new home of what was /r/Blueteamsec and how it works.. (self.blueteamsec)

Firstly, welcome - you have found us.

Secondly, the origin story - https://www.reddit.com/r/blueteamsec/comments/1mc3pza/reddit_managed_to_ban_the_mod_of_rblueteamsec_due/ of which the tl;dr is we were in /r/Blueteamsec since 2018 and then in July 2025 the mod account got banned.

Thirdly, settle in as this is going to be the permanent home. The only features missing from Lemmy really are:

  • the titles are a little shorter than we are used to
  • the ability to style some of the community
  • categories

but in short nothing material. The Jerboa mobile client is excellent.

Fourthly, how does this work? Broadly speaking

  • there are optimised sources across X, various sites, groups and lists etc.
  • they are reviewed generally once or twice a day (start / end)
  • content is ideally < 1 week old at time of posting
  • content is then reviewed / curated / titles edited and posted

the rough rule of thumb being:

  • link to the source where possible i.e. not a news article but the technical source
  • cyber security relevant and insightful to cyber defence across technology, adversarial tradecraft/techniques/tools, threat intelligence, policy or events

Finally, all community contributions welcome!

Hi, thanks for the new community!
I have a question about the current rate at which you are funneling external content into it. This is presumably done in an automated fashion. Is this a... temporary arrangement? I mean is this just a measure to ease the transition so users coming here won't just have to look at an empty community and that measure will eventually be phased out?

Nope, very manual and the plan is to stay here :) - I managed to keep the last community going at this rate for ~8 years.

Alright, thank you for all the effort then. Take it easy!
