While it was absolutely spreading unverified accounts that were a bit sus, I think the discussion prompted needs to be had for the USian comrades especially. Feds are watching online spaces, pretexts are already established to treat anti-fascists as terrorists (always have been but it indicates a renewed focus), and the USA cares less about freeze-peach than ever…

What should US comrades be doing to protect themselves, besides “not using discord”. What about using this site, what are the risks there?

    I think this is a safe assumption but then what is to be done, for people that already have been in discords that could be flagged as marxist or antifa or whatever? scrub everything and delete your account and hope it gets actually deleted eventually? (and practice better opsec in the future ofc)

      Deleting your account is a good idea, if just to stop you from posting more.

      Tbh I don’t really think there’s anything to do except pray LEO doesn’t care. You have already handed your data to Discord, you can’t take it back.
