An anarchist-oriented Mastodon server has seen one of its admins raided by the FBI. The admin in question was working with an unencrypted backup of the Mastodon server, which was also seized.

That's interesting.

Do you trust that the admin is telling the truth?
What interest does the FBI have in all this?

Either way, if your data is on the internet, safe to say it's not safe.

Those pesky anarchists out here feeding the hungry and building dual power through community! If people can depend on each other for safety, security and human dignity how will the state continue to maintain its control!

Also, they use violence as a means of protest, only the police can use violence! No fair!

That's true. The only thing leftists hate as much as conservatives and liberals is other leftists.
