Dox my ass. Public officials being identified shouldn't be controversial. We pay them. We deserve to know who they are so we can do something when they act like Nazis.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago

Hell as a state employee you can look up my title, how long I’ve been employed, salary, etc. Should be the exact same for feds.

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 18 points 1 month ago

Same here, I just want equal treatment for them

[-] YellaLeber@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure what is obfuscated for officer safety or whatever but there's sites like this that have basically federal employee.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I'm a government official and people can walk in the building and demand to see my text messages and emails, and I have to hand them over (with reasonable, well-defined reactions categories like social security numbers, home addresses of certain officials and citizens, etc).

And that's a good thing.

I'm not gonna say I enjoy Open Records Requests, but that's mostly because it's a pain in the ass redacting shit, and I recently had to do a TON because a very high-profile person had interactions with the city and every journalism outlet in the country submitted slightly different requests thay required me having to do reactions on about 10,000 pages of documents despite the requests only covering about 30 emails between them.

But it's a pain I'm willing to put up with to maintain transparency.

[-] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Twice you got autocorrected from reactions to reactions, and the idea of doing reactions (as in reactions videos) on 10,000 pages of documents does sound like a pain in the ass.

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

There’s a lot of free and public ways to do this today. It’s just a question of property ownership. Property needs to be appraised yearly for tax consideration. If there was a website or something similar that provided the same function, man… I’d bet it’s vulnerable.

[-] Philote@lemmy.ml 67 points 1 month ago

This is how you protest. Be a pest, put them in the spotlight. Track their identities and make known their actions to the public. They are ashamed, it’s why they wear masks, to hide from public eyes. Let’s put them on blast.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 54 points 1 month ago

I don't think they're ashamed. I think they want to dodge consequences.

But I agree with you otherwise.

[-] null@piefed.nullspace.lol 25 points 1 month ago

Man, I wish there were consequences for them to dodge.

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago

I think they fear the social consequences (hence masks), ie. What happens when people they know find out what they do? Surely not everyone they know thinks what they're doing is good.

[-] wavebeam@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Not wanting people you know to find out what you do because their behavior will change when they know it is kind of the definition of shame.

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

Yeah that's pretty much what I'm getting at

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

They don't feel bad or humiliated, though. Not everyone who wants to get away with something is ashamed of it.

[-] morriscox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Or you don't want them to hurt or kill you and yours.

[-] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago

It's not doxxing, it's preparing the indictments for 2028.

[-] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 20 points 1 month ago

assuming we will have fair elections in 2028 is pretty wild.

[-] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago

I will be voting, and all my neighbors, family, and friends will too. I wonder how many ballots they can manage to lose?

[-] Impound4017@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

I give decent odds that we’ll be past the ‘lost ballots’ stage and into ‘edited ballots’ territory tbh

[-] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

Is there a link to the data?

[-] yardratianSoma@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

prolly have to find some discord groups/telegram groups. My best guess is head to the darknet for links, ifykyk. If anyone is stupid enough to post links on the clearnet, they almost deserve to be targeted by LE.

(then again, imo posting on discord is stupid, but obviously effective in terms of rapid transmission)

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Um, isn’t discord and telegram technically part of the dark net? I always thought the dark net was just direct communication lines and direct links to self-hosted sites/data from individuals.

[-] sidelove@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

I think it's the deepweb that is unindexed and privately-accessible communications. Mentally I reserve the darkweb for complete obfuscation of identity, e.g. Tor.

[-] yardratianSoma@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month ago

from what I know, there's the term deepnet or deep web, that includes unindexed websites like databases and whatnot for facebook, telegram , etc. . . . And then there is the term darknet, which refers to websites that don't use ordinary protocols, like tor or i2p.

Call it pedantic, but I do think it makes sense to distinguish the two

[-] BigTurkeyLove@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I don't know 😕 can someone enlighten me with like a hint or dm me.

[-] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Keep it up, don't let them have a single moment of peace, they need to feel the fear they are perpetrating on others.

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

They need the results to reinforce the fear.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 month ago
[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Do archive.is links work for anyone else? I always just get a blank browser window that looks like it's stuck perpetually loading.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Yes, they work. You might check whether there's a browser extension or something on your network that is filtering the site, or try using a different browser.

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

I figure it’s gotta be something on my end, I just can’t figure out what. Pi-hole doesn’t show it in blocked requests. I do use Unbound as my upstream DNS, could be there. Most likely culprit - it’s always DNS!

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Damn… it’s almost like a ton of cleared developers just got laid off without cause. I wonder how this happened.

[-] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

That's nice and all. But you'd better hope nothing happens to any of those Nazi yokels, because I guarantee you the minute one of them has so much as a single hair pulled out of his head, the Trump regime will use it as an excuse to launch a full-blown bloody wave of repression.

[-] midribbon_action 87 points 1 month ago

Oh no, the thing that is already happening could happen if we don't settle down.

[-] Ancalagon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Oh no go stick your head in the ground because the bullies are for sure going to stop!

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 60 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Let's keep placating to fascists and nazis because of fear of retaliation. /s

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 month ago

The Trump regime need no excuse.

[-] Ancalagon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Name checks out.

[-] CarrmynCarnage 15 points 1 month ago

Yes let's continue to be respectible while boots are on our neck.

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Peace for our time!

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Why not just use AI to synthesize a dead cop or two? Anthropic is literally dedicated to creating an AI powered hegemony where AI is used for the "greater good." They barely have a product and they're working to empower brutal dictators.

When was the last time MAGA was presented with evidence and they just went "oh, I was wrong."? Antifa is going to start murdering 7 fingered cops* and Facebook won't give a shit.

*(except fingers aren't a problem anymore)

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

On the contrary, I hope they all either get taken out my a real patriot or Hitler themselves. I don't care how it's done, but it's what all Nazis deserve.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

You mean like if someone like this gets shot in the neck?

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You mean like what happened a couple of weeks ago?

[-] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Anyone got a working link for a site that doesn't want to make you pay for what should be public information?

[-] frog_brawler@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Wouldn’t it be fucking wild if an AI was in charge of validating clearance in 2025? I bet a ton of people would be shocked. That being said, there’d be at least several handfuls of people that knew.
