and they are mostly using @gmail addresses, like normies.

Not terribly surprising, it was understood that at a minimum 4chan was working with the FBI a decade ago. It's also entirely likely they weren't hacked and the leak is fake as well.

Wait. Fake and gay? Or just regular gay?

Non because they are lying. Based on what I saw the most common domain for Moderator Emails was Gmail.com.

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.

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 52 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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!

If they are US government employees, they wouldn't be arrogant enough to use official work email addresses.

[–] ActuallyGoingCrazy@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are you saying the US government isn't arrogant?

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Idk why they're bringing arrogance into it, but you'd get caught using official email for personal projects in like... a minute. And if it's official work, why would they risk exposing themselves instead of going through one of the million us gov email proxies?

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

About 5 years ago I would've agreed but since then I've seen some shit in publicly streamed trials and politics, so I don't hold any standard anymore regarding this.

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

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago

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