Noticing a lot of progressive techy people like to shit on Koletiva generally but especially today, and like... You do-gooder normies are at basically zero fucking risk of being raided by the cops because the "activism" you do is mostly useless, so may fucking cut it out with the potshots at admins here.

"Uhhhhhhh but the admin had an an unencrypted local copy of the DB."

Yes, that is not a good move, but basically everyone is constantly doing wildly unsafe computer shit because sometimes they just need to fucking make it work. FFS people still email passport photos around offices and they end up sitting on some corporate mail server (and a local copy) for a decade cuz Walter the dinosaur is still around and never empties his inbox.

"Unsafe" shit happens all the time, but also you fucking techy weirdos don't face fuckall for repression, so I'm really not interested in hearing anything from you people about this situation.

@hakan_geijer a lot of these tech bro takes are coming from whitehats that work in Enterprise environments. Some of their arguments make sense, but not for a small crew like those behind kolektiva. The devs are the admins a lot of the times in these situations. 🤷‍♂️ Besides, do we really think other instances are going to put up resistance to LEA requests? Not one bit. I'll stick with the crew I know I can trust to stand up for me and mine when they can.

@ACAB @hakan_geijer for sure. Half these nerds would fold the second the FBI says they need help "combating extremism"
