Having a .gov email address isn't all that prestigious. Hell, I had a .gov address at one point.
There's something like 11,000 different .gov domains. Obviously the big ones are the Federal agencies, and the White House, but then you get all the county/city/state domains as well.
You can be some rinky dink secretary to social workers out in Nowhere, USA, and you'll get a .gov email address.
But why would you sign up using a .gov email for social media unless you were performing a duty of job in gov during use of the social media? I can see being suspicious about that. I mean really, how many email services are there for private citizen use, free, no less?
Well, first if all, is it true that some of the mods there actually have valid, working .Gov email addresses?
You've taken it as a given that this is true based on what? Some stranger on the internet saying they "apparently" did?
Second, to give people the impression that whatever job they were doing on that site was at the behest of the government...just as you've claimed. It gives them the illusion of legitimacy and authority that a Gmail (or god forbid a yahoo or hotmail) account would not give.
You pretty much answered your own question.
Basically, someone wanted to seem more important than they would have been without a .gov address. Ego is a huge motivation for doing that type of thing. And mods aren't typically known for being meek little humble people...
You can't be both meek and a mod. You should see the abuse we take from the shills and trolls. You have to have a thick skin for this job and be able to wield a hammer.
Ooh, so I assumed this person wasn't lying. Wow, guess I committed a crime for having an opinion. Wtaf? It's a question and an opinion, no fucking big deal. Good grief, you're fucking ridiculous.
And every employer knows that employees ignore their directives to not use work email for personal use.
Hell, Hillary Clinton got raked through the coals for personal emails she sent from her government account. Do you not remember that?
And as a one time government employee, who spent a hell of a lot of time with other government employees, I can tell you from personal experience that it happens frequently.
But I guess you would know more about it than I would, and I should just take the words of some stranger over my own experience. 🙄
If your point is that .gov people are often useless or at least careless you’ve made it.
From over here in private work it’s a security breach waiting to happen, a quick ride to the do-not-promote list, and a faster ride out if the lapse leads to a phish or other incident.
The autists claim to have linked a registered user who was briefly a mod to [email protected] - I read through a bunch of the users posts and it's weird, but some of the older posts from last year say stuff like 'You use my tech everyday' and the user was asking about why people don't use x more. Very odd.
Holy cow. Has any read those posts? That is one crazy major rabbit hole. He claims to be Jesus, the Antichrist, the rightful King of England & Elon Musk.
Even Q thought 4chan was a bust and they moved to 8chan now 8kun as a result. There should be none as it is no longer a hub for Q and has been so for more then a couple years now.
Given the amount of shill involvement there was on /pol/ a month ago while monitoring the /pol/ DOGE tread called /BUG/. Many shills flew Israeli flags BTW wanting people to focus on and attempted to slide the DOGE issue on what organized religion had done with it's USAID money. Ukrainians were tense because DOGE touched their stuff. And Fed's who now had time and a axe to grind...Q isn't "only" the reason they are down but it's a nice excuse. But 4chan has become a honeypot they can longer control like they used to and they don't mind ruling over the ashes as a general rule it seems.
I understand the Chan's require tough skin and VPN's and maybe the need to nuke your hardware from time to time. Learn about using virtual machines too.
But having been around and participated on 4chan for events like Finding Shia's Flag or my favorite Shave You Head for BLM and for the First appearances of Q. Now as for actual worldwide impact The Chan's serve us well in a way this site doesn't...4chan was, and now 8kun are known in a way this site isn't. True anon communication is important and 8kun is now the place to go for that.
For me, I feel this is the chans light. I don't have to filter out all the shit posting and get the time to read other points of view and since I type like a cop, express my view on the topic. Not so for the other sites. Besides, I started following the Q movement when Q migrated to 8chan. Since I have the Q Alert App, I won't miss anything important. So this works for me.
My son is seeing that Israel is who is running reddit. He's also saying that there's quite a bit of chatter that Q could be doxxed. Makes me wonder about things here.
Who knew? Usaid paid for 4chan? Now they Do a hoax to claim a hack because they are shutdown? Again we will see something like -we have investigated ourselves and have found nothing wrong”
They released exactly what they wanted to release.

That's usually the qualifier on this board, yeah.
All it takes is a tweet and people wil lsay "this makes sense" and pass it on as truth .
Yeah. It's pretty damn concerning how prevalent that is.
..on the internet, anyway
Ooh, so I assumed this person wasn't lying. Wow, guess I committed a crime for having an opinion. Wtaf? It's a question and an opinion, no fucking big deal. Good grief, you're fucking ridiculous.
Well, you know what they say about people who assume things. 🤷♀️
But this being an elite research board, perhaps just assuming things like that isn't the best approach...
Why are you getting so defensive?
We always call out the glow boys & Elgin Air Force base.
BS. Every employer drills it into employees’ heads not to use work email for social purposes.
The only reason to use the .gov is because it’s for work purposes.
There was one result for 4chan in the USAID database that showed a $1.5M payment to astroturf there.

Well, yes, 100%. Government employees are frequently fuck ups. Using work emails for non-work situations are just the norm with them.
I have gotten a giggle about how many people here thinks government employees are all fine, upstanding, rule following professionals. 😂
Prestigious??? Glowing
What?
Not supposed to be used for unofficial use.
"Not supposed to" =/= "not done"
It's hysterically funny how people suddenly have so much faith in government employees following rules/not being generally retarded.
😂😂😂
Has this ever happened before?
Yes but this seems to be a bit more serious than past hacks.
Did they say if there were any .mil addresses? I've had both in my life. I had a .gov when I was at the NRC and a .mil while I was active duty USAF.
Elgin AFB had a ton of active users at some point.
When do we designate Furries as a terrorist organization?
Right after we designate the democrat party as a terrorist organization.
Right after we designate the uniparty as a terrorist organization.

The order is ADL>democrats>furries>RINOs
Nah. This was a pro level job. It was probably inifinitechins.

The hacker known as 4chan is so cool that he hacked himself and fixed himself

We all knew Elon lurked, doesn't surprise me that he did a lot more than lurking!!
I really do hope Elon was pepe posting on /pol/.
That would be based
I wouldn't be surprised if he pepe posts here!

Holy cow. Has any read those posts? That is one crazy major rabbit hole. He claims to be Jesus, the Antichrist, the rightful King of England & Elon Musk.
And he uses signature Musk phrases.
I am more confused than ever, now.
Yeah - I have been live and direct. - in some of those threads
Elon's too autistic to be the actual antichrist. Shouldn't the antichrist be charismatic? Nobody's falling for his brain chips lol
What are the implications here for the Q movement being run from that platform?
You know the accusations are coming...
Even Q thought 4chan was a bust and they moved to 8chan now 8kun as a result. There should be none as it is no longer a hub for Q and has been so for more then a couple years now.
That fact won't stop them. They will blame the Q followers anyway. Easy target.

8kun is not any better. I'm just glad I found this board.

Ok, let's see if they can post Q's IP address or password hash (;

That's just the Zionist bot farms trying to bury the anti Jewish stuff on there
Well they aren’t doing a very good job at stopping the noticing. I guess their goal must be to increase the noticing.
Streisand effect in action
My son is seeing that Israel is who is running reddit. He's also saying that there's quite a bit of chatter that Q could be doxxed. Makes me wonder about things here.
I was wondering why 4chan wasn't working.
Interesting to see what facts come out of this breach
Ooooh....are we finally gonna see some big spook reveals?!
Oh no! Anyway...
nahhh. 4chan was absolutely a place where shit happened. tons of things leaked on there prior to it blowing up.
its likely a government psyop honeypot, but it getting nuked is not some irrelevant data point.
Yeah it's been down since early this morning.
Who knew? Usaid paid for 4chan? Now they Do a hoax to claim a hack because they are shutdown? Again we will see something like -we have investigated ourselves and have found nothing wrong”
