For my Fediversery, a reminder that NSA and CIA were probably on the fedi before you were

@JoYo absolutely they would be. They gravitate towards fringe gatherings, partially because that's where radicalisation generally occurs
- That's DHS.
- And then they encourage it to fester so they can claim a larger budget
I wonder if any spies got drawn into protracted shitflinging like the civilian Twitter?
NSA? Yes. CIA? Probably not. They don't have that kind of imagination. c.f., the internal parody of The Hunt for Red October they declassified about a decade ago.
- fair, I think JWICS was for DoD only.
  
  I don't think JWICS is DoD only. In theory, any TLA or FLA that handles TS material, has a SCIF and a local JWICS LAN can't be hooked into the rest of the JWICS network.
No way man, I was on identi.ca
- was surprised to learn I technically still am, and password recovery even worked after >10 years since previous log in, and I hear rumors the original dev is back and will be releasing integrated support with ActivityPub this summer.
- eChirp is a fork of identica, did you read the article?
  the original identi.ca devs are all active with the activity pub protocol project.
  
  it was supposed to be humerus.
  
  all I was saying that I've probably been on the 'verse longer than the feds
Tor as well...
Obviously, the know the ins and outs and so all of them want to be decentralised and secure on the fediverse!
@JoYo I'm not seeing anything in the article linking #eChirp to the #Fediverse
- it was a fork of identi.ca
@JoYo, not only, Lemmy right now
