This isn’t just relevant to Lemmy because it’s culturally intertwined with Lemmy but also because there’s a search engine database now that acts as a registry for anyone promoting any of the mass shooters (Luigi, Robin, Tyler, etc.).
China currently bans anyone from entering who denies their narrative about Tiananmen Square. It’s the same deal here. There’s also a couple of already-controversial Lemmy users who are collaborating with the US government by judas-kissing everyone after having honeypotted them. One of them having been infamous for banning people who promoted “blind alignment with Luigi Mangione” [sic].
Those fuckers (sadly in charge) are scared shitless.
They have a weird way of showing it.

What?

That’s a mess I was caught up in. None of those people are me or are liked by me.
Judas-kissing is a midwest term. It means using covert means to mark someone as a person of interest for other people. It comes from the story of Judas kissing Jesus as a way to tell the Romans which person in the audience was Jesus.
“Honeypot” is government slang. It means an organization secretly made to keep track of a certain demographic. In this case, it refers to the government using the fediverse as a litmus test for whoever they think is worth putting under their radar.
Are you willing to name the Lemmy users doing this?
Your wording leaves me wondering whether you’re suggesting that they’re actively working with the feds, or just being helpful to them without that intent?
For better or worse, the government isn’t dumb and they’re aware not everyone in the fediverse is who they’re looking for. The fediverse is very feudal, and the government has occasionally popped in to subtly ask the disillusioned for pointers, since simple spying often leads to questions. So there’s active collaboration here.
Keep in mind this is a recent development in fairly old news. Trump was known in the beginning to vet immigrants for their social media presence. The freedom from lèse-majesté as it’s called has been broken.
So no, you can’t name them. Or really have anything but speculation
I’ve reported you to the US government. Removal pending
for anyone promoting any of the mass shooters (Luigi, Robin, Tyler, etc.).
Luigi and Tyler are alleged assassins, NOT mass shooters.
Not to be a pedant, but the word assassination is usually used for government leaders and prominent people. I know that the far right in the US sees right wing podcasters as Jesus, but I don’t believe the person who shot and killed Kirk was trying to seize power. I absolutely could be wrong, of course
It’s not pedantic if it educates. I appreciate the correction.
It’s not your fault in any way. It’s what they’re using on the news. They’re treating this like a head of state was assassinated for power or something. People are calling the police if they see a flag that isn’t lowered. It’s insane here.
They way they’re treating Kirks death I would have thought he was some senator or high ranking military personnel.
…not some right wing influencer.
Whoops. Meant to say just “shooters”.
Alleged shooters. I have not seen any conviction on Luigi yet.
Has he even been in the news lately?
Yes, literally yesterday when the terrorism charges were dropped.
I’m surprised they’d actually oblige on that.
unless the nazi states of america start acting outside of their country, I don’t think I’m too concerned about it. I’m not planning on ever visiting again, at least in the foreseeable future.
be safe down there, though, folks
I really do despise authoritarianism. If only there was some way to become rid of it.
I’m confused. Is it just users furnishing the gov with usernames? Or is it mods, who could potentially have access to a user’s email used to sign up with their instance? Do mods have access to that, or just admins?
A mix of all the above. Recall that time in American history that Orwell ratted on his comrades.
You can spin up your own instance and see a whole bunch of shit like IP addresses, vote history, etc.
I think it would be naive to think that the various 3 letter agencies wouldn’t have their own instance to surveill us.
I’m forever grateful for the fact that I’m not 'Murican
Do you ever plan to go to Murica or have family in Murica?
How are you aware of alleged Lemmy users collaborating with the US government? It almost sounds like you are implying you have insider knowledge of the focus of US federal agents.
It’s not new news. It’s just a new development in that news. Spying was already a topic with Luigi and Robin, but Charlie Kirk’s assassination was an enormous deal apparently, with world leaders the world over paying respects. That kicked off a whole search engine based registry, which MSNBC reported on. Some of this involves a doxxing process, and even if this wasn’t already made clear, you could put two and two together and get an idea that Lemmy would play a huge part in this and would be the thing all the paper trails lead to.
As for knowing exactly who is working with the NSA, people working for the agency would follow the same tactics. They entice a reaction, fake-debate with people, mine people for knowledge while knowing who probably is and isn’t sympathetic to extremists (even though they would play it safe and treat everyone the same). They’re not afraid to outright sit down with trustees though (recall the story of Orwell ratting out his comrades), and the crew behind the search engine registry isn’t classified. Some people will brag and say they’re working with the government as a flex, and occasionally it will be consistent with events surrounding suspects.
I see. So it’s speculation then.
If by speculation you mean indirect confirmation.
When your adversary is the spooks… That’s the best you are gonna get.
How incredulous.
Said a guy who gets on here defending pedos
Wait, what ?
Of course not. I don’t even know the discussion he’s talking about. If you look in my comment history, I have commented that pedophiles and child molesters are different populations and that using the words synonymously is ableism. That was super triggering to a lot of people.
A while back… There a discussion about pedo, I think OP was some vile confirmed shit, some people made off hand remarks about the wood chipper or whatever. Jerkface got into pissing context over it.
Sure Prolly shouldn’t be killing off random people accused of being pedos but he don’t even bother to acknowledge the victims.his concern is that the pedos don’t get harmed lol
Hate speech for thee, but not for me. Nazi scum do love their lists.
TheObviousSolution, that’s “The” “Obvious” “Solution”, without spaces.
