news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Yeah we have an international community, but afaik the admins can't see ip addresses and locations?
Admins could always reverse that policy or, much more likely, configure something wrong accidentally, and easily expose IPs. With the way the internet works the sender IP is always "leaked", it is just a matter of how careful the recipient is with the information. You should use precautions to avoid exposure but then act like you don't have any, as none of them are foolproof.
Yeah but they can make clearer rules that make sense outside of an American context, especially when it comes to protecting the site and admins.
Doubt the feds here will start an investigation for joking about blowing Elon's head off. But you might get into trouble for wishing misfortune on the IDF or even just talking about freeing Palestine between bodies of water.
Well imagine you're joking, you're joking, and then somebody actually does it.
Honestly even intels probably dont have unlimited funding given our overlord are hoarding all the money so you'd prolly go through the nets but why tease the devil
They can.
Not only that but their provider can unless they host the website on a good old server on somebody's desk.
If you're slightly computer-savyy I think the best option is to rent a vps in a random country and put wireguard VPN.
Lemmy doesn't log IPs anywhere so they're not associated with an account.
Lemmy maybe, but what about the OS or architecture? This can be broken through temporal attack. They could know what IP connects when and cross that with the actual posting.
Not trying to fearmonger ofc. But it's to be considered.
You're absolutely right, of course. I think (hopefully) the admins configured the web server to not log IP addresses, so compromising the server at least wouldn't retroactively leak user IPs.
Better to use a VPN provider in a favorable jurisdiction so you're sharing an IP with others and there are legal barriers.
unsure. Legal barriers arent the only barriers and rule of law only goes so far. I mean VPNs are giving informations all the time.
Maybe we should do hexbear VPN. best of both
True (depending on the VPN), but also true of VPS providers.
True. The only solution is a solar panel, rotating bitcoin paid e-sim card and a rasp. The silkroad way
