    My Rubicon has been crossed. If you aren’t sabotaging American infrastructure and Republican operations at this point you are subdued are complicit. This is a deadly attack on Democracy and the American People that hasn’t been seen since WW2 against Japanese American citizens. Ask George Takei how that was.

      Friendly reminder that we are looking at a government that is likely going to imprison political dissidents and you do not know who the admins of lemmy.world are or what they will and won’t turn over before and after getting a call from the secret police.

      Just like the rest of us don’t know who you are and don’t know if you are that “protester” with a very visible body armor and gun bulge under your shirt.

      The Internet is a beautiful thing to make disseminating information and organizing protests MUCH easier. But it is also a great way to release insane amounts of personal information to bad actors. Practice good OPSEC and understand who you are communicating with AND who is listening.

        They’re not in the US. I think they’re based in the Netherlands or something. You are 100% correct though. My account is a prime example of what not to do.

            You don’t offer old., AND you force people through javascript with the intent to post to meta of all places. I understand I am not the target audience even without looking at the post, but I hope it’s clear to you how suspicious and ironic that combination of factors looks.

                Oh, I didn’t see that a non JS version is in the works. I just assumed it redirected to the regular page, because the block page practically looks the same. Thank you for correcting me.

            And just because it’s based on Germany doesn’t mean it’s not run as a NSA honeypot, or that they aren’t federated with the honeypot.

          We THINK they are based in the Netherlands. Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t (VPNs and shell corporations are a thing). Either way, we don’t know if they’ll insist that Netherlands/EU law will protect them or if they’ll just hand over everything the moment they see the kind of headache they don’t want to deal with.

          Again, OPSEC.

      Yeah, it can’t be overstated how bad this is. This is functionally the end of due process. If the government says you’re a criminal, you get memory holed in El Salvador without a trial, and you are never coming back.
