Not terribly surprising, it was understood that at a minimum 4chan was working with the FBI a decade ago. It's also entirely likely they weren't hacked and the leak is fake as well.

Wait. Fake and gay? Or just regular gay?

as far as i'm concerned, all governments are gay

what do you mean "everyone"?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wouldnt be surprised either. I watched the documentary deep web and the feds admit publicly they were running half of the dark web business to make their way to the top. Like there isnt anything better to do than subscribe and wait (there isnt corrupt officials who sold their souls to aipac, congress doing inside trading, billionaires screwing working class and buying governments, healthcare causing ten of thousands of deaths, ...)

4chan was a place you could see child porn on any given day and it was still active. That doesn't just happen without the government being ok with it.

Literally untrue. Prove me wrong.

Non because they are lying. Based on what I saw the most common domain for Moderator Emails was Gmail.com.

No you stupid motherfucker, of course it's not true, use your god damn head! Media literacy is fucking dead. Fucking smooth-brained, tik-tok rotted, ipad kids; stop falling for the most blatantly false BS!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

U commented so the rage engagement worked :D

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

"Chat is this true" means "hey guys this looks fake but funny"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

so my media literacy is that the US government is so wholesome they would never do that? or that Government employees are smart enough to not use there .gov email for this?

I am failing to see how some or even just 1 mod having a .gov is so below the level of belivablity that it must be disreguarded prematurely. I am in this comment in no way saying they where present, but also that it seems silly to just assume that this is "obviously not a think that could happen" Like the articles that will spring up that someone broke the speed of light

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Reading through other comments, looks like someone went through the list. There isn't a .gov address on it. Looks like this is literally fake news.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago

it was long overdue. fuck this site. especially the /pol nazi scum.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I believe the .gov rumor isn't true, and it's mainly .edus. I haven't seen it, though. Waiting for someone to drop a pastebin/other leak, because all the reddit threads showing a source end up getting removed before I can read them.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've seen the list on the party site. There were 3 .edu out of 219 emails total. 152 gmail, 17 hotmail/outlook, 18 protonmail, 2 4chan, and the rest were custom.

No .gov.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I know there were plenty of ways to get a free .edu email circulating around the internet for a while too, because they could be used to get student discounts on subscriptions or software. 4chan users seem like the likely sort to try that loophole.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Or some 4chan users have been to college, crazy

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If they are US government employees, they wouldn't be arrogant enough to use official work email addresses.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you saying the US government isn't arrogant?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Idk why they're bringing arrogance into it, but you'd get caught using official email for personal projects in like... a minute. And if it's official work, why would they risk exposing themselves instead of going through one of the million us gov email proxies?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

About 5 years ago I would've agreed but since then I've seen some shit in publicly streamed trials and politics, so I don't hold any standard anymore regarding this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's just now how it works though, most government firewalls wouldn't even deliver the emails. It's a constant pain in the ass to get legit emails in from non-government sources, even promotional marketing spam has to jump through a bunch of hoops to not get filtered (by which I mean they just pay off microsoft to get on the approved list, fucking thanks microsoft...). Fortress & Friends have very little chill and have been made even more paranoid in a bid to mitigate phishing. This is why there's so many proxy services or even just outside email servers set up for us government correspondence (plot twist, butterymales is sop big shock I know)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Few .edu's in there tho lol.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Afaik some were using gov emails but that's not majority. Not a psyop, just dumbasses

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

no .gov, 3 edu. most were just gmail. some were using their own domain, which is a self-tell (like the .edu).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Can we talk about goated too? Adding the ed at the end just makes it sound stupid. If you wanna say a comment is the greatest of all time, you can just say goat comment and it doesn't sound so stupid. It's like saying 'excellented comment'. Like what?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Nah fam, goated is goated

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

“Goated” sounds better out loud. I think there’s also a verb/action component to it it - more like a “lauded comment.” To be “goated” is to be recognized as something that someone might consider the greatest comment of all time.

You can’t prescribe language, just go with the flow. The real fun of Gen Z and Gen Alpha slang is using it against them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I see what you're saying but personally I don't think it does; Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Not because some gen zer decided that he's the GOAT and should be goated. The gall to think any one person can judge a something as being the GOAT therefore can declare it 'goated' is just rediculous to me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

L take, I can say who's goated with or without the sauce.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lol okay there little buddy whatever you say!

Guys, you know if payments for 4chan gold were leaked?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Anybody got the ip of the mods? I can't find the sj post (deleted?). I wanna know distribution of mods by country.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

y'all it's not a lie, it's a meme

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Meh... No matter how funny this is, it's a genuinely serious situation. People are genuinely confused. If you just spread misinformation, that's what it is: misinformation. A lie. IMO.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

it's in greentext format, clearly labeling it as a joke. if you take it seriously you are an idiot. jokes are not sources of factual information, so only an idiot treats them that way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yes, have you not being paying attention? Fake news isn't for intelligent people, it's to convince idiots to believe lies. You saying this is like saying the sky is blue, obviously you should not get your information from memes. Anyone with half of a brain understands this.

Do you think the alcohol ridden, worm bitten brains of the average conservative has enough brain to recognize that? Do you think that your average idiot on the left has enough brain to recognize that this is a lie? Because there are people in these comments deliberating over whether or not we should even care that there are .gov addresses on the list, which btw there are none and yes, you should if it were the truth.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

jokes don't need to be factually accurate. people are allowed to say things just to be entertaining, get off your high horse and think for once.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Can't wait for someone to do full doxx of them by searching emails in data breaches
