I’m an avid follower. Please keep the faith. 🙏👍

It’s good to see you popping up here though - and hopefully in a more constructive forum. Hope alls well.

Self-care is paramount. We very much appreciate your time but take care. ❤️

On X it's now very difficult to have a discussion, since subscribers get pushed to the top and are the type of person that DO NOT engage in fair discussion, just trolling and insulting.
Every real follower of yours has seen the constant barrage of idiots and bots that pop under every decent post.

sanzin.me•105 days ago

But WE real followers, those of us that actually appreciate the things you do and the time you put into every post, will always support you and I am sure no one will be upset with you if you decide to take a step back or just some free time.
Anyway thanks for everything you did till now 🫡

I live in Amman. Every evening, around 7:30, I check Aurora Intel to see if Iranian missiles have been launched or if it's safe to go outside.

newtn.bsky.social•105 days ago

Just hopped on to bluesky myself, mostly because i see alot of the osint community mentioning they're here aswell. Your posts are appreciated; do whats best for you

auroraintel.bsky.social•105 days ago

I never wanted money from this, it’s never been a goal of mine, hence why I feel I can come and go as I please. I’ll admit some of my posts on the other site have been rather bitter recently but I’m tired of those who lie, and that’s my outlet, for that I’m sorry for not being better for all you

auroraintel.bsky.social•105 days ago

I have no idea if I’ll ever go back to the “blow by blow” that I use too, but rest assured when I post something I continue to do my upmost to make sure it’s as factual as possible with a decent technical analysis behind it and when a mistake is made I’ll correct it.

auroraintel.bsky.social•105 days ago

Why post this here, nearly 5k of you have made a conscious effort to follow on here, I believe you are original followers so probably have observed the changes with time.

headoffsecurity.bsky.social•100 days ago

Thank you.

vigilantepj.bsky.social•105 days ago

That is true. I followed you and some others back when the “March of Return” kicked off. Twitter simply isn’t the place for collaborative research anymore, and you deserve to be respected for all the hard work you’ve done for the community.

yartys.no•105 days ago

I’m new, but I’m sure I’ve seen some of your previous work on Twitter before.

osintwiretap.bsky.social•105 days ago

I'm happy you're here. You always chime in at the right time.

auroraintel.bsky.social•105 days ago

shipwreck75.bsky.social•105 days ago

You are a pillar and personally a tent pole in the OSINT community. When I have briefed my leadership over the past few years, you were always referenced to as a solid source.

shipwreck75.bsky.social•105 days ago

Rarely in OSINT do I assign that level of confidence. Please keep up the great work, you would be surprised to know the importance you have in the corporate intelligence world.

bryce-kuhn.bsky.social•105 days ago

keep doing your thing! the world is better for your work and i’ll still be following. the internet sucks but people like you keep it worthwhile

tabro.bsky.social•103 days ago

I just joined and your account is the first one I looked for. You being here is the reason I’m fully deleting the other one.

the-cats-whiskers.bsky.social•96 days ago

Over the three to four years of tracking your posts, Aurora Intel has been a monolith of accuracy and the antidote to the ill-informed dross which oozes from the self-appointed OSINT expert mass of Twitter. We appreciate you, but please don’t burn yourself out! It’s a marathon, not a race.

a-77.bsky.social•105 days ago

Everyone needs some rest, even warriors.

somnisixsmith.bsky.social•105 days ago

I look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for the effort and sacrifice.

"I’ll admit some of my posts on the other site have been rather bitter recently but I’m tired of those who lie, and that’s my outlet, for that I’m sorry for not being better for all you"

You don’t need to be sorry, we understand. Just take care of yourself and do what’s right for you^^

praisethesteph.bsky.social•105 days ago

I totally understand. This is exactly one of the reasons why big OSINT accounts like Oryx or Ukraine Weapons Tracker ended. Lots of people just steal content and pass it off as their own, often with a bigger reach than you. It's pretty frustrating.

praisethesteph.bsky.social•105 days ago

Some people are extremely angry because they don't like that the reality you are presenting is different than they would imagine... Anyway, don't force yourself into anything. Thanks for the work you've done.

ivarr-greyjoy.bsky.social•105 days ago

Mental health first! I appreciate the work you do - it's some top-shelf stuff! I've followed you for a while now on Twitter and your content has always been a welcome sight in my feed.

Please take care Aurora, you matter too.

orebeachgirl.bsky.social•105 days ago

I for one appreciate you🫂. Your input is very valuable but two things. This is a marathon, not a sprint! And … ALWAYS .. put your own oxygen mask on first ❤️❤️

timothybrett.bsky.social•105 days ago

There is no need to explain. A while back, I realized that I am but a voice in a chorus, as is everyone else. We are not in control of anything but ourselves. Relax, don't apologize, and have fun! By the way, I enjoy your posts.

jshull.bsky.social•105 days ago

We followed you here because you have been a voice of reason and reality in the wilderness. You take care of yourself, and we will all be here waiting when you are ready. Remember, it's what you say, not how often you say it.

jose-miguel.bsky.social•105 days ago

I appreciate the work you and the OSINT community do. I think is going to be even more important in the next four years. I hope BlueSky gives you the right home.

ahfirncw.bsky.social•99 days ago

Let your energy and motivation guide you. That way it won't take a toll on you.
Appreciate your work 🇦🇺✌️

chicagomike.bsky.social•105 days ago

We all have to practice taking care of ourself. It's easy yo lose site of that when you're passionate about something. Thank you and take care!

aucoinanalytics.com•105 days ago

Your sanity is more important than these platforms. Take time for yourself and continue the good fight when able.

velysia.bsky.social•105 days ago

I think that other site turned us all into cynical bitter people, i know i felt nothing but burning anger everytime i tried to read up on my feed. It's much better here, i feel so much calmer and feel like my old self again. Your struggles are so understood, being in a toxic environment doesnt help

skinnycats.bsky.social•105 days ago

Hey dude, always put your own health, heart, and mental well-being first. A lot of work goes into what you do, and you shouldn't feel like you owe anyone anything.

Thank you for what you contribute to the OSINT community thus far!

aisupremacy.bsky.social•98 days ago

I don't know mix it up? Start a newsletter or start a YouTube channel.

theoperationsroom.bsky.social•105 days ago

Hope you continue bud
