Mods prioritize things good. Are least make the fbi post in self crit for public humiliation
Oh FFS what now
Someone freedom of information acted hexbear and it’s taken a really long time to get removed. I called the poster a snitch repeatedly and made a lot of joke posts surrounding it thst I think are pretty keen. But yeah someone asked the fbi how much they knew about hexbear like that doesn’t draw attention and maybe put people in danger. My opsec sucks cause come at me bro. But I feel pretty strongly about someone just essentially emailing the feds to say this site is potentially interesting. I’ll take my own risk but I won’t compromise others and this is very much doing that. Never contact the fucking fbi requesting info about aledtist forum. They’re for sure keeping an eye on it now if they werent before.
No, we’re still as open as any pseudonymous clearnet forum with anonymous read access. ANY malicious actor could do more damage to the site (a banned user for example, or a right wing troll crew) at any time without even exposing themselves to us.
This is not a forum for serious organising of the sort of activity that would draw state/federal/national/transnational cop attention.
But the volcel police are always watching.
It’s more of a
“Hey feds! What dirt do you have on hexbear.net, aka chapo.chat?”
“Let us check…nothing. You went through all that effort to contact us for that. Should we have a file on it?”
Hangs up
Chances are they were already aware of us, but also wtf who the fuck cares about us that much that they would do that. Our haters have some wild priorities.
It was me. I promise I am no hater of HB. It’s an awesome site with great people. I put the request in as a response to a post asking someone to make a FOIA request.. The response then was positive. Last thing I want is to cause site drama. There’s a discussion here: https://hexbear.net/comment/5784821
