Yes, 11 years ago.
ikr? they probably have an Internet PR task force on every base by now.
This is because they are doing influence ops out of that base, right?
Or it’s an exit node for some internal network/VPN.
Which would be stupid opsec, but then again…
What I have learned is that if you have a simple explaination, but it’s really really stupid, that’s still probably what happened. Because people are stupid.
Not stupid as you think if its being used as a tunnel for overseas stations to have a clear route to send encrypted traffic.
No, it’s because that’s where they counter the <insert enemy of the state department>'s propaganda with truth and facts.
Same reason Reddit’s director of policy comes from The Council on Foreign Relations and worked for Madelin Albright. They certainly wouldn’t be using Reddit to influence the perceptions of Americans, the primary users of Reddit.
Yup
Making comments like this gets you on their special lists :)
Lists are cool? Lists are COOL???
YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!!!
Just standard Pooty-poot simping MAGA Qult materials. Nothing of note really.
Likely not, back then it was probably just bored air force nerds stuck in Florida.
What does it mean by most addicted? And why are Glasgow and Edinburgh right up top?
Addicted to reddit, not drugs.
That’s what I thought, but really? Of all the cities in the world, the top two are 50 miles apart in central Scotland?
Reminds me of the pictures of the /baltimore meetup that did nothing to refute stereotypes of redditors
That picture is forever burned into my mind when I think of Reddit.
I’d love to see one for Lemmy. I suspect it’d be largely the same except about 25% of us pasty nerds would be trans women, and there would be a lot of Linux merch on display.
You know what? I’d go if I was local just to see.
Likewise. Though judging from the Lemmy community for my province and it’s biggest city, maybe 3 people would show up.
I feel a lot of people on Lemmy aren’t the type to show up to meetups.
True. Most of us are too paranoid or anti-social. (Including myself, to a fair degree.)
