TL;DR no records found. Either HB really is a bunch of libs or I didn’t word the request well enough. Never done one of these before.

Eh? I have a HB account as well.
What’s the username?
It’s this one. Don’t use it much cause I admin thelemmy.club and can interact with all the people on HB through there
lol I’m sorry if I baited you into any bullshit over my post, but I am grateful you revealed yourself and took the heat off my post’s potential to start inter-site suspicion and conflict.
Dope. Reported for snitching. I’m not an opsec guy but I don’t email the fucking feds
I can’t tell if this is a bit but I did this by the request of another user and it’s a request for info, not a tip line. I mean HB is a public, anonymously readable social media site I promise I’m not letting them in on some kind of secret. And in any case had it returned results I think it definitely would’ve been in HB’s collective interest to know.
Post won’t load and it’s not a bit. There is no good reason to emailing the feds and potentially getting more attention. It’s pointless as well a reckless. Just like, always keep your mouth shut. It’d a low risk, but an absolutely senseless one that you’ve taken on behalf of everyone here. Getting neat little stats isn’t worth emailing the feds over. No one here agreed to it and it could potentially endanger people. Probably won’t. But what is the gain in this risk? Turns out it’s nothing. Don’t email the feds. You are a snitch

I do get what you’re saying, and it was probably against the best judgement. Though I think the risk level considering the circumstances is very low, please everyone remember that this site is completely public and in the open. Wouldn’t have dreamed of it otherwise. Stay safe and organize in appropriate spaces.
Just cause someone said you should do it doesn’t mean you should
It’s dry snitching at worst. Do we have an explicit policy or rule about unilateral off-site action that leads or implicates hexbear?
We probably should, ideally, but this is basically an open forum on the clearnet so it would just be an exercise in good discipline and education for the future heroes of the revolution that spring from our ashes. This user simply goof’d and we should have a chuckle about it and never do it again unless we have a damn good reason to like if the warrant canary sings. Even then I would leave those decisions in the hands of other comrades and dip out. (hopefully reunite elsewhere from a distant proxy and a properly compartmentalised profile and identity)
This draws attention to the need for better education and reminders to be mindful that our users are global, some of them live within very real live threat matrices, and some of them are feds. Ie. don’t make a decision after weighing it against your own threat model but imagine the most vulnerable and furtive user and act in accordance with protecting their safety.
I don’t care about intent. It’s negligent and should getting banned is the punishment of making a new account. I don’t see thar as too harsh for literally talking to the feds. That isn’t being thrown in a pit. Quite a few users lately have been banned for significantly more.petty reasons and slow mod action on this is suspect as hell to me tbh
Willfully talking to the feds is snitching, end of story. This is shit that would get your knees blown off and teeth picked in in certain circles. Talking to the feds or pigs is snitching. It literally doesn’t matter why you did it, only the fact that you did. If you talk, you are a snitch and nothing you do will change the fact that you are a snitch who talked instead of keeping their goddamn mouth shut.

correct. nobody has to contact the feds, as a bit or otherwise. I really don’t care whether it’s “low risk” or not, there’s no real reason to do it and nothing to be gained, as the response from them shows.
You’re massively reading into things
Elaborate
You finding it suspect the mods aren’t deleting this post but do remove celebration of an “idiocracy is a documentary” guy is a large reach.
