some techbro keeps signing me up for his fascist newsletter which talks about polymaths or whatever. the latest content, however, is sure something...

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

oh it's okay that january 6th happened, because abraham lincoln did a coup too (reality: he didn't, and he was on the right side of the civil war ANYWAY)

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

also like, i don't understand how someone can write a sentence grouping hitler and lincoln together. like this should just feel fundamentally wrong, like in your bones levels of wrong.

[dysfun@social.treehouse.systems]

@ariadne yeah and i'm not sure whether that's meant as criticism or praise either

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@dysfun given the whole message of the newsletter is "vote for trump and just let him be a fascist dictator"...? going to say it is probably intended as praise

[dysfun@social.treehouse.systems]

@ariadne it's like your brexit moment i suppose. what it ultimately should have come down to was "so if we do leave the EU, do you trust these clowns to do a good job of it?".

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

anyway through various ways and means, i have tracked this spammer down to https://gitlab.com/clouddevshead

abuse report being sent momentarily

[dysfun@social.treehouse.systems]

@ariadne their mail relay will of course want to know

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

imagine spamming a company that was literally FOUNDED BY SECURITY ENGINEERS

like, yes dude, we are going to figure out who you are if you're annoying enough

[lookatableflip@infosec.exchange]

@ariadne im actually quite curious what OSINT took place to find him off of a single newsletter subscription

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@Lookatableflip his mailing list management app is a broken laravel app which is throwing exceptions referencing git commits under that gitlab account
