It was good - hope to see you on Nostr.

If not, we will meet somewhere down the line again, I am sure.

No, Nostr is looking more promising.

But it’s bookmarked.

U ?

The potential for future growth being very limited, and people spending hundreds of dollars a year on the server (a price that will only go up) plus all the effort in posting content…

I see the reason to not continue here.

lol

btw, Casey, where do you recommend EH users go after this shuts down in less than a week?

I really appreciate that you care to come over and tell us your position, and this is key for me:

This isn’t really an issue as far as content and engagement is concerned thanks to federation, but it does mean we’re a very small fish that can be easily killed if we get defederated. We’re not big enough to survive under our own content steam, so if you do join, please try to keep this in mind.

Basically, you may be forced to moderate, and to ban really confrontational, in your face sort of posts that are derogatory to avoid defed… Which is fair.

I think I may come over to your instance and participate in some stuff, all in godo faith, all with no slurs or name-calling, as that is against my religion. ’

I’ll probably get a totally diff useranme, though. Be unrecognizable. I actually did this when coming over to EH (some wolfballers will remmeber my original name; like 1-2 people may remember my Discussions name… I don’t fully remember my discussions name, lol.)

These guys just discuss hack stuff it seems…?

Do you have any plans for yourself?

A great sign for the gang - just today my Gab here got a repost from Andrew Torba himself (who follows me, which is just wonderful).

I think we should play around with Nostr with the gang but… this is an auspicious start, my friends.

Great aphorism there.

Thanks!

Bro the meme scene is nuts there. You gonna love it.

I also specifically really liked the reddit style format and thus the very nature of my posting will change in the new place lol

Oh well.

Not a bad thing but u know.

It’ll be different.

Kapow, honestly just got a little misty eyed for a minute. You are a champ. Just like master of balls.

Followed you on Nostr.

I know the admin and many other users have put a lot of time and effort here.

Let’s keep it up on Gab and Nostr.

BTW I have this weird thing where I don’t like to be super active on a dying site when the nostalgia is kicking me in the balls so expect a downturn in posts.

“It was definitely a very professional force that we were fighting against,” the U.S. army veteran from Alaska said.

Yes, of course.

Speaking to ABC News on the condition of anonymity, the soldier said offensive operations which he had been part of were disorganized, criticizing some tactical decisions.

“We lost three Leopards (advanced German-made tanks) in one day because they were just told to drive forward into a minefield,” he said.

Oh geez…

Some other good parts here:

The response from law enforcement was not what one might expect given his status as a protected whistleblower. Instead of acknowledging his rights, they proceeded to search his entire house for hours, questioning him without a lawyer present, and taking personal items without clear legal justification.

“They never gave me a Schedule B. And since I’d never been raided before, I had no idea to even ask them for the Schedule B. So my defense attorney had to basically threaten them to get a copy of it. And when we got it, there were multiple things they took that were not on the list.”

…

Even after this incident, and being informed directly of Cain’s protected status, the agent in charge of the investigation continued to request information from Cain that he wasn’t legally required to give, or even to speak about without his attorney being present. This was not a mere oversight but a persistent and deliberate effort to obtain information from Cain, seemingly without regard for his legal rights as a whistleblower.

Cain recounted the unsettling experience:

“The agent calls me and I’ve already given him my lawyer’s information, and my lawyer instructed me not to say anything more. He calls me directly and tries to get me to give him my password to my phone and my password to my computer. And, I cooperated, I gave him, stupidly, I gave him the password to my phone. I immediately regretted it. And then he asked me for the password to not just my computer, but to my government computer, and when I refused he hung up angrily.”

This is wild - just whenever they want, these federal agents will leak your information to journalists to complicate your life:

“This guy then went on, you know, he basically leaked my information to the New York Times. I’m pretty sure it was him, because somehow the New York Times found out that I got raided.”

And now the most surprising part of it all:

After his information had been leaked to the press, it wasn’t long before he ended up in the hospital with symptoms resembling a stroke, despite being in perfect health prior to the event. The story is shocking, and it raises questions that go beyond the usual political intrigue:

"I ended up for six weeks having neurological symptoms that were identical to a stroke. Every test didn’t show anything, but that was after I went down to my car and reached up under my door handle, and there was some oily, wet substance under there. At the time, I thought, “Oh, gross.” And I wiped it off on my pants and got in the car, and I just wanted to get home. But I ended up in the emergency room with full-blown stroke symptoms, and thank God I was taking a vasodilator. I think that’s probably what saved my life.

“I had symptoms that lasted for six weeks. I went and saw a specialist in neurology who’s been in it for 50 years, and at the end of all these tests, he said to me, “What do you do for a living? Because I’m not finding anything in your charts. In fact, your arteries in your brain are pristine.” And he said, “So this doesn’t make any sense. What do you do for a living?” I said, “I’m a cybersecurity.” And he goes, “That just doesn’t make any sense. I’ve only known one guy who’s had all the symptoms that you had and had charts like yours, and that guy worked for an industrial chemical factory and touched some chemicals without his gloves on.” It triggered a memory of that that day I reached under my door handle and there was that oily liquid. And I realized what had happened.”

Absolutely wild.

These people will kill you.

There is a point here because I am aware that famous internet personalities like Mustang Wanted have actually joined to fight in the Ukraine on behalf of Russia while also are opponents of Putin…

But it is the case here, IMO, where Navalny is supposed to more broadly support the Westernization of Russia and its membership in duh internashnul comunity or whatever, so I would suspect that Navalny is more astroturfed local opposition than is talked about.

But IDK.

Yes, they did, and I think they have tried to come up with long-term plans to keep funding Ukraine and NATO, which is not really the direction that they have wanted to actually go as a people at all.

Oh yeah I knew a guy who did basic then came back and played on the football team lol

Lol these guys take the bait more easily than fish with brains the size of cashews.

Anytime this kind of shit happens, it has to be squashed.

Total anonymity for juries must be the norm and I hope the people responsible for this are punished… Doubly punished if it isn’t a hoax list.
