No, we're still as open as any pseudonymous clearnet forum with anonymous read access. ANY malicious actor could do more damage to the site (a banned user for example, or a right wing troll crew) at any time without even exposing themselves to us.

This is not a forum for serious organising of the sort of activity that would draw state/federal/national/transnational cop attention.

But the volcel police are always watching.

No, but it was pretty irresponsible. It's getting publicly available info on what the fbi has on you, but asking in and of itself is just unnecessary and can only do harm and is at best pointless.

It's more of a

"Hey feds! What dirt do you have on hexbear.net, aka chapo.chat?"

"Let us check...nothing. You went through all that effort to contact us for that. Should we have a file on it?"

Hangs up

I can pretty much guarantee that they receive enough frivolous requests that they don't bother to take a deeper look at every one that turns up blank. Even if they did, they're just going to find leftist shit posters that don't organise anything more than the occasional fundraiser and book club. If they care about any of Hexbears users it will be for their irl activities, not their posting.

I thought all the people acting like the feds care about this site were joking.

some folks didn't get the joke I guess
