I believe the .gov rumor isn't true, and it's mainly .edus. I haven't seen it, though. Waiting for someone to drop a pastebin/other leak, because all the reddit threads showing a source end up getting removed before I can read them.

I've seen the list on the party site. There were 3 .edu out of 219 emails total. 152 gmail, 17 hotmail/outlook, 18 protonmail, 2 4chan, and the rest were custom.

No .gov.

I know there were plenty of ways to get a free .edu email circulating around the internet for a while too, because they could be used to get student discounts on subscriptions or software. 4chan users seem like the likely sort to try that loophole.

Or some 4chan users have been to college, crazy

No you stupid motherfucker, of course it's not true, use your god damn head! Media literacy is fucking dead. Fucking smooth-brained, tik-tok rotted, ipad kids; stop falling for the most blatantly false BS!

U commented so the rage engagement worked :D

"Chat is this true" means "hey guys this looks fake but funny"

[–] CooperRedArmyDog@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

so my media literacy is that the US government is so wholesome they would never do that? or that Government employees are smart enough to not use there .gov email for this?

I am failing to see how some or even just 1 mod having a .gov is so below the level of belivablity that it must be disreguarded prematurely. I am in this comment in no way saying they where present, but also that it seems silly to just assume that this is "obviously not a think that could happen" Like the articles that will spring up that someone broke the speed of light

Reading through other comments, looks like someone went through the list. There isn't a .gov address on it. Looks like this is literally fake news.

Afaik some were using gov emails but that's not majority. Not a psyop, just dumbasses

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 7 points 6 days ago

no .gov, 3 edu. most were just gmail. some were using their own domain, which is a self-tell (like the .edu).

[–] serenissi@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Anybody got the ip of the mods? I can't find the sj post (deleted?). I wanna know distribution of mods by country.

Guys, you know if payments for 4chan gold were leaked?

[–] Mauntra@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

Can't wait for someone to do full doxx of them by searching emails in data breaches
