“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Post got removed in .world for not being a "news source" even though Klippenstein is definitely a very established independent journalist, so trying again here I guess.

is that what this guy did? I didn't know logs were public. Is there an efficient way to search them?

IME for most circumstances where you want it, this is the easiest way, at least on desktop. There's a similar choice behind the three dots menu of posts, also.

Hey thanks. Turns out I'm actually banned from at least one community. They think I'm a bot. Beep boop.

EDIT: Actually, I think that must have been lifted. I commented there earlier today and the post has upvotes so I assume people can see it. Is there any way to be notified when both banning and subsequent unbanning happens? The Modlog doesn't mention the unbanning part of the equation.

There might be a way to be notified, I don't know. I was temp banned when I first joined and I only knew it because I looked at the modlog after wondering why the reply button didn't do anything.

Orange button in the community sidebar, next to the list of mods
