Though the exact details of the situation have not been confirmed, community infighting seems to have spilled out in a breach of the notorious image board.

      Ghislaine Maxwell was on the news around the world. Is that not enough?

    I feel like the result of this is gonna be a big ol nothingburger. There’s no way someone works as a mod/admin for the most controversial website on the internet and uses an email address that can be linked to their real identity, and doesn’t use a VPN/tor.

    Pretty sensationalist article IMO. I mean, they act like the source code being leaked is newsworthy. Somebody with a month of coding experience could write that website in an afternoon.

      Worse, some ppl used their work email:

      The leak reportedly included [.]edu and [.]gov email addresses.

        I’ve seen the list on the party site. Only 3 .edu, 0 .gov emails.

    Are we going to find out the history of q-anon?

      A person in my discord (with no source, so keep that in mind) sent the attached. He was theorizing that Q-anon was a Mossad operation based on this chart saying Israel has the highest quantity of posts after 2014. He’s fairly left leaning, and not one of the crazies on 4 chan yelling “the joos!” Having said that I have no idea if this chart is even legit.

      No. Qanon stuff mostly happened on 8chan, and even then there’s no secret “historical” data to access. It was one or multiple obsessed and/or manipulative people spreading insane ideas anonymously, and idiots falling for it. There’s no secret inside some system out there, it’s essentially just organic stupidity. Some believe the guy who owned 8chan was “Q”, it’s not an unreasonable idea, but it changes nothing.

        Q was on both 4chan and 8chan. The “historical data” is likely not there at this point but the internet never forgets.
