A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It could impact a ton of activists doing work they may be jailed or killed for where they're from and queer people in unsafe environments. Victims of stalking, too.

I'm not really sure whose location and real identity could be revealed that would make anything better apart from being able to egg some racist shitposter's house lol

A lot of those so-called activists are not even real people but posting fake propaganda for this or that government.

I know real activists with real OpSec problems on Twitter. I'm actually consulting them on the risks of posting to such a site. Security issues with twitter are security issues for people.

Why don't you post your address here on Lemmy? Why do you post from an alias and not your real name?
