    In another thread someone said the fbi could seize their hardware as part of an investigation as it would contain evidence. Here’s what I’m wondering though, why wouldn’t the fbi just set up their own Lemmy instance. They’ll have access to all the same info. Except for PMs I suppose.

      Maybe they already have

      They like to focus effort and money on anything but the real people causing harm. School shootings are a near daily occurrence in the US…

      Trump still isn’t in prison and his degenerate crew already embraced declaring themselves domestic terrorists, as their banner stated, and he’s now going to be president….

      So if any fbi are, maybe think about that; what you are serving and what they really think about you

            I’m thinking it’s .world, which is why it’s my main instance. Now .world has all of my info, I can rat out the rest of you scoundrels and neerdowells while maintaining plausible deniability.

            Considering .ml was the first Lemmy instance, for it to be a honeypot the entire Lemmy network would have to be, it’s just a bunch of tankies

          It doesn’t need to be a big instance. It just needs to link with them. In fact it’s better if it never shows up in posts or comments at all. Just send those tendrils out to every instance they know of and let their data tools filter through it all.
