They are typically very polite, thankfully

Like really shouldn't have your age, location, partners, or things like pride flags in your profile/banner (people can see those even if you're locked)

I feel like if you still have an account on the other place, it should, bare minimum, be locked, and remove everything from your profile, no banner image, generic icon, etc

But you should probably just make sure you have what you need, and deactivate.

important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

twitter is just unsafe and quite literally should be making exit plans from the platform as long as doxxing nazi groups are explicitely allowed to exist there

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

People in their 30s are only kids in that I think I should be able to ground them, and restrict their screen time, under certain circumstances

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today

I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.)

Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear.

But… no “kids”!

No one in the GOP Hitler chat was a "kid"

We checked. Sorry, JD Vance.

argo @argonaught.bsky.social · 18h

What is a 510 threaded cartridge battery?

1

argo @argonaught.bsky.social · 21h

I think a cheap one with cartridges

argo @argonaught.bsky.social · 21h

I know there's a lot of weird metals and garbage in a lot of disposable vapes especially.

Basically looking for like, are there safer/cleaner ones? What to look for, etc

If anyone happens to know/have links to things, I would appreciate it

Question, could use help with a thing

Do any of y'all, in a place where it is legal, use a THC vape?
Friend would like one, helps with some issues, but their cheap vape pens aggravated their allergies.

Like eight times a day I read something that makes me think, "I'm going to kill myself, and then everyone else"

(I think in this scenario I become some sort of vengeful ghost)

Much like fnaf, I think some of my investment in it revolved around it tapping into some hometown/childhood mythology
(Storm drain behind my house that a kid drowned in, and also a very cursed chuck e cheese possible incident)

And this adds fuel to my absolute brain rot nonsense that Elden Ring is an isekai, and it is fine if my character mostly remembers/communicates in Simpsons quotes and song lyrics.

argo @argonaught.bsky.social · 1d

Elden Ring has this sort of built in "you don't really remember your life before this" thing. And Nightreign reenforces this to a degree. That these guys only kind of remember a before.

Like. I didn't hate it when I was playing it. We did it all in one sitting and it was enough of a ride to just go with it, but thinking about it *at all*, it was crap
It's also just like. Not a very playable game. Not fun to play
