I was expecting the Spanish Inquisition, but I’ll allow it.
nobody expects the spanish inquisition!
Oh, you think you’re clever, do you?
THAT’S IT. BRING OUT… THE COMFY CHAIR!
They’ve DDoS’d X/Twitter?
Apparently that’s what the news is saying
Surely they just clicked the ‘X’ button and it closed itself down?
There is no way this is the same guys who went after Scientology, however, I do love whoever they are. We need more people fighting fascism.

Yeah… I’d be real careful getting started by joining a particular irc server known for anything.

I was part of anon in the mid-2000s hahaha. It was a blast. I met a lot of really cool people!
I lurked, it was super interesting, definitely a lot of cool people. Quite a few pretty intense people too.
Finally, someone is stepping up!
Fuck, I wish we heard more about chaotic good hackers like this more often. They’re like our modern day super heroes in some regard to me.
I think they caught most of them from back when they were more active (2009-2012) or at least were more in the public eye.
Lulzsec comes to mind
The ones that didn’t get caught went underground and stopped working together as ‘anonymous’
Bunch of anons: DDoS Xitter
Elona: Ukraine did it!
Wait before this dimwit will start screaming of casus belli against an unfriendly Ukraine and the USA will start selling Russia weapons.
Looks like something a 16 year old script kiddie would make, no way it’s real
Nice. I love anonymous.
Remember that time Anonymous fought Scientology? That’s why we don’t have Scientology anymore.
Instead of facing black pieces of paper to DOGE, we can just sign their emails up for so many spam mailing lists. So many that legit emails get lost in the chaos
Can’t tell if sarcastic or not.
Yeah, Scientology is still quite powerful but they were exposed for a lot during that attack.
Plus, this isn’t the same group of people. Anonymous was never a set group of hackers or anything, it was a catch all name used back in the day to keep anonymity, and then later on a bunch of edgy dorks decided to pretend they were an actual organization
I spoke out about Scientology and now have unmarked cars/vans outside my house daily (off and on for a year)… I was perma banned from Reddit for speaking my truths… it’s effing terrifying!!! Fuck Reddit and the cesspool they are creating! It’s embarrassing!
if you were in the scientology cult, yea they want to keep thier secrets within the cult.
I hope that what you’re saying is true and that you aren’t experiencing some kind of breakdown.
I say that from a genuine place of concern AND, it breaks my heart that we live in a world where someone has to worry about such things.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Scientologists were stalking you, but I’ve been making fun of them online for 20+ years and I’ve never had this problem.
Were you born into Scientology? If you were, yeah, they’re probably stalking you. Same if you joined the cult at any point in your life.
Film this shit and ask people to confirm you’re dealing with this.
The difference is probably that they spoke up about their friends and family joining. Scientology is incredibly petty and well-known for stalking and harassing critics. In particular, during Operation Freakout they tried to get their critics put in mental hospitals, so it’s kinda their SOP to make it look like their critics are having a mental breakdown. You might be safe criticizing Scientology anonymously online, but if you’re annoying them in a specific way (e.g. trying to convince specific people to leave), and they know who you are, I can absolutely see them messing with you.
No breakdown, was never born into it but spoke out against my friends and family in that joke of a church/cult and now it scary! Because they targeted me on social media… I dropped everything but now Lemmy.
I believe you in documenting the encounters I have, I honestly never thought to document because I legit just felt like they were turn on me and make me be the bad guy. But honestly with everything going on… Miscaviage showed how ridiculous the “religion” is with him making shit up! They legit believe in some sort of alien…. Coming to “save them” … I still have friends in the “cult of Scientology”. And levels that don’t exist because their cult is garbage, he’s in it for money!
I fucking HATE that there is a typo. 😡
Those things always have at least one typo. That’s how you can tell they’re legit.
I guess it fits the bill for hackers not to be concerned with things like proof reading lmfao
In the old days, hackers were also fans of lexicology, etymology and other nerdy word stuff. Now that they’re into anime, it has some unexpected drawbacks (but they make cute emojis, I guess).
They’re all too neurodivergent now 😔
What are you trying to say here? That neurodivergent are lesser humans?
Elon Musks’ social media outlet*.
Wow, good for them. Way to roll in to save the day after the fascists took power. Too bad they didn’t do something when it could have made a difference.
Like what? I get wishing things never got to the stage they are at, but what do you wish a bunch of unorganized hackers did earlier? Genuinely curious as I’m not good enough at coding to think of any creative “solutions”
Looks to me like they’re doing a lot more about the problem than all of the protest voters that caused it are doing.
Yes more more more!!
Could they challenge DOGE?
Good on them, I guess. But Twitter is only a small part of the problem.
Anonymous
Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while
