Mods prioritize things good. Are least make the fbi post in self crit for public humiliation
Left-Wing security culture is paranoid and idiotic. I think it’s a bit silly to file a FOIA request about a niche left-wing online forum but it wasn’t, like, snitching lmao. It’s publicly available information.
Just for this I will write to the CIA, NSA, DOD, as well as all my local representatives (Governor, federal Rep, state Rep, Mayor, City Council president, and county council long-term planning chairman) to inform them of the existence of Hexbear dot Net. Expect the site to be shut down and all users jailed within the week. If you require assistance smuggling a pack of cigarettes into jail up your butt, DM me.

You only get vapes in British prisons now because of woke smh my head
It turns out, we have an extensive file from the National Park Service. Nobody else heard of us.
This website is not a threat to capital. This response is frankly ridiculous.
5hen let’s just all post with our real names
I’m a public-facing member of an org. Everyone else in this website would be too if they weren’t cowards.
I’m not going to post my name on the Internet because any groyper with a VPN could mail a pipe bomb to my apartment. But if you haven’t gone to your local county/city council and told your local sheriff/police commissioner “My name is [Drew] and I am a Communist, I believe you should be fired and your job abolished”, you’re a liberal.

watch out, we got a badass here
This is a completely fair response and I think I was overly broad with my original comment. For what it’s worth, I don’t believe I’m a badass, I’m a joke of an organizer - I’m just speaking from the perspective of someone active in the scene. And left-wing security culture has by far been more of a detriment to organization locally than a boon.
If someone doesn’t have the time, energy, or inclination to do organizing work IRL I think that’s totally fine. Everyone has the right to enjoy their personal time how they see fit, and that may include posting on a niche left-wing Internet forum; and not everyone is in a good place in their life to do organizing work.
What bugs me is clowns on the Internet spreading self-defeating paranoia-induced “privacy best practices”. Read any modern work of theory; hell, listen to a shitty leftist podcast; and they’ll tell you that the most effective weapon the Capitalist class has is not shooting you with a gun or putting you in jail; it’s the chilling effect on speech that their threats engender.
It is asinine to consider filing a FOIA request on Hexbear a serious mistake.
Yeah I don’t disagree people should be organizing in person I just thought posing it as cowardice to not do so was a little bit over the top. I’m neutral on whether FOIA-ing this silly shitposting website was bad or good.
do i even want to know? happy new year, hexbears
Someone caught a temp ban for saying
was cool and heroic, and someone else recently made a FOIA request to the FBI about Hexbearwhat the fuck why would they do that D:
Someone suggested it like a week ago as like a joke. Everyone was cool with that and unfortunately none of the people freaking out now said anything then. So one of the people in that thread did it. He’s in this thread apologizing and stuff , but I don’t think it’s as big a deal as people are making it out to be, though.
Do people think the FOIA request is gonna like, tip the feds off that this website exists? Because I promise this will not be new information to them. They have always kept close tabs on the left. This site is public and accessible to everyone. I would hope people are not posting here thinking it’s under the radar or something…?
