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.
When you say Nazis, you mean actual nazi nazi, or anyone who doesn’t politically agree with Lemmy.worlds world view? Genuine question, like for Palestine for example
Edit: nvm you answered it later
Holy shit dude, you’re doing god’s work. If you don’t mind me asking, what got you into/how did you start doing it?
And do the FBI only care if there in these groups or are they also interested in people saying awful things online.
Keep up the great work
When the Charlottesville Unite the Right riots happened, I just began to wonder if I could find the average Nazi on Facebook. Like not Bitchard Spencer or any of the prominent figures, but just average Joe Blow imperial Wizard types. I just began searching for more minor figures, and began linking them all together one by one, and began reporting all their Nazi posts to Facebook and getting their accounts nuked. I was SO good at it and they began to get really paranoid. One night on Ambien I decided to make an account and begin friending them, and little by little it took off. I’ve never had to participate in any Nazi shit, I just allude to “our beliefs” once in a while. Then I began collecting all their photos and putting them on r/beholdthemasterrace so they could be endlessly mocked. Even though they are VERY not social media literate and Facebook is about the maximum they can do (some of them did make it to VK because it’s much less censored but that’s it), one of them did find his picture on there and complained to the Reddit admins who banned me (lest you think Reddit doesn’t support Nazis, they sure do).
Anyway I have a few journalism friends who do work in right wing extremism and I began just to give them information, and met more and more and began helping them with it. I got involved with antifa and we do this in a much more organized way now. We have outed a lot of them to their jobs. We got a Nazi dishonorably discharged from the military, and we catfished Enrique Tarrio into sending us a dick pic.
Re the FBI: three of the White Lives Matter dingdongs were driving to random college campuses in their state and dropping Nazi flyers all over it in the middle of the night as well as defacing the postal office and other dumb shit, so my alt told the local cops who they were and they were arrested, and they connected me with a joint task force agent, and we talk a lot and I give him information when I have it. They are not an organized bunch by and large and most of their shit is really petty but I like having them show up to wherever they are doing their dumb three person protest and have a cop waiting for them. He doesn’t know my real name but everything I have given him has turned out to be true so we have a good relationship; I even found him a few January 6 rioters, including the wife of a deceased prominent Nazi who died in prison who brought his ashes to scatter some in the Capitol building. Pretty wild. I’ve been doing it for ten years next year.
I have alot of serious respect for you man, to take such an initiative with these awful people who think they can say whatever they want online saying some insane racist shit. I’ll definitely be following you’re account. I’m not american, so sometimes it freaks me out how out in the open Nazis can be, we have the EDL here but our racism is more hidden and systemic
I have a fake white supremacist Facebook alt and i have befriended thousands of white supremacists, and I send the FBI all the information about what they do that I see.
I think part of me is a bit pleased with myself that I’ve managed to fool them so thoroughly that it seems sort of funny as well while I do it, but it is also hard. They’re all very insecure, they have zero hobbies or interests, like not even sports or TV, and they all just seem to have no emotional connection to anyone really. For some reason their pets are ALWAYS dying, like at least once or twice a week one of their pets die, and it’s because they don’t take care of them. They mostly all have shitty jobs, although one is a physician assistant and one is an editor at Pluto TV, but the rest are pretty marginal. That makes them wildly pathetic in my eyes, and that overshadows their hate. I think of them as lead babies, they’re just so emotionally blunted.

Maybe they already have
They like to focus effort and money on anything but the real people causing harm
But trumps crew already made it common to be domestic terrorists as their banner stated so it’s a large pool haha
Yet trump still isn’t in prison and school shootings are a near daily occurrence in the US…
What makes you think they haven’t?
That’s what Lemmy.ml is
Well so far I’ve gotten none removed, but someone did threaten me privately that they notified the FBI about a post, I have no idea what. Cool.
Damn, you got (fbi) followers now? I’m jealous
well it IS called the fediverse
you don’t have your own fbi guy? must suck to browse the Internet alone
Imagine being so unpopular not even the FBI warrants following you and storing your content in a database.
Mine always knows what I’m getting him for Christmas :(
Pretty sure I’m getting a watch from them this Christmas! They put me on the list for one and everything.
I already have a relationship with the FBI because I give them information on Nazis. We get along well. They won’t care.

Actually actual Nazis.

Here’s one who we wrecked.
The beauty of seeing such a post, this made my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey .world mod that reports this shit to the FBI. Go ahead and pound sand. Report me for this comment, i need more friends.
That just means your cool
I already talk to the FBI and give them inside information about Nazis.
Do tell
I have a fake white supremacist Facebook alt and i have befriended thousands of white supremacists, and I send the FBI all the information about what they do that I see.
I have to ask, how hard is it to be in that world? I’d have a hard time staying positive seeing the absolute gutter trash of humanity like that.
