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.
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.
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.

Again, OPSEC.
I’d recommend taking a look at this online anonymity guide we put together for our monthly meta post over at slrpnk.net.

If by old you mean mlmym, we do host it and offer it in our sidebar for those who prefer it: https://old.slrpnk.net/

Lemmy.world is based in Germany. The ToS says that it’s governed by German law.
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.
