Like feds at my door type shit. Y'all ever think about that. I've said some wild shit on here actually and I am realizing I should probably be concerned about it. Hby?

I wiped my whole account and started from scratch. Especially with all the phone searching going on, better safe than sorry

[–] Aliveelectricwire@hexbear.net 3 points 59 minutes ago

I am a straight up vagabond and by the time the feds have located where to find me to talk to me, no they haven't I'm across the country.

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 1 points 36 minutes ago

i post the same everywhere. i am banned from most places.

Mods on other platforms are far more of a pipeline to feds coming to your door. That said, it's easier to be vague about things you might want to fedpost about than it is worth the risk of having feds come to your door. These days, it only takes once, and they're less likely to ask questions.

I say whatever I want wherever I want and I've never gotten feds at my door. I've gotten accounts suspended, but I'm generally speaking you have to be Black in America to have cops come after you for your speech.

[–] Blakey@hexbear.net 16 points 7 hours ago

I am a very good boy and never say or think anything that would make anyone angry at me. as far as they know.

[–] jjsandwich7@hexbear.net 15 points 7 hours ago

I get what you mean. There has been a few times where I would be typing something and I would just stop and think this would be not a good idea to type out lmao

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 27 points 9 hours ago

I just go blob-no-thoughts in public when I'm not agitating

i dont think i've said anything that would get feds at my door, but i've probably said something that'd anger a lib so much they'd swat me

and this is why opsec is good

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 19 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (4 children)

Opsec is good when its a lib fs but I have probably advocated for the death of federal service members and I am realizing this may not be smart as feds can absolutely find me. My opsec is mid at best anyway

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 6 points 7 hours ago

I'd probably go back and start editing out and the deleting those comments if you think it would make a substantial case against you

[–] TrustedFeline@hexbear.net 17 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

But you did all of that as satire. Comedy is legal

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 9 points 7 hours ago

In minecraft of course

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 15 points 9 hours ago

try lying more to waste government resources

[–] Bruja@hexbear.net 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Your bandcamp advocates for a lot of killing. Bought the album from you in case you could use some for legal council.

I didn't know I had a bandcamp but if I were to make thrash it would be like this. Makes me wanna listen to Mastodon actually. Not exactly thrash but its been a minute since I listened to metal

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 14 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I have levels of honestly. Least honest is at work in front of other adults, then it's when in the classroom with kids (kids are cooler), then on Hexbear, then online with IRL comrades, and then finally in person with comrades when shit isn't flowing through the public internet.

[–] woodenghost@hexbear.net 9 points 6 hours ago

Some people add another layer for in person with comrades and you all leave your smartphones somewhere else. For when you're actually planning an action.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 12 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I’m definitely on some type of list by now.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 9 points 7 hours ago

I'm pretty sure I've been on multiple government lists since middle school when I looked at the city library copy of the Anarchist's Cookbook.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 22 points 10 hours ago

they'd come for me whether i said it or not

[–] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 11 points 9 hours ago

I would tell them it was a prank and ask them to look at the camera.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@hexbear.net 15 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

I don't live in a dangerous fascist country, thank God. Maybe France will follow the Anglos into civilizational suicide but I'm still safe for now.

[–] ComradeSpahija@hexbear.net 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

France will follow the Anglos into civilisational suicide

I'm increasingly convinced this will definitely happen; thank God I'm no longer in France for the moment

France, from what I gather, has more of a humane and rebellious spirit than the Americans, so maybe not (they're also not as brain-dead but that's a low bar, lol). But I'm no prophet, and I'll bounce to the global South eventually (in a decade or so, perhaps Malaysia) most likely either way.

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 19 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I don't live in a dangerous fascist country.... France—

Oh, no. Oh no no, no no no no. Nobody tell ArgumentativeMonotheist.

Let the belief stay alive just a little longer. agony-limitless
