In another thread someone said the fbi could seize their hardware as part of an investigation as it would contain evidence. Here’s what I’m wondering though, why wouldn’t the fbi just set up their own Lemmy instance. They’ll have access to all the same info. Except for PMs I suppose.

What makes you think they haven't?

Now im wondering which is more likely a honey pot, ml or hexbear?

[–] jaybone 4 points 2 weeks ago

I’m thinking it’s .world, which is why it’s my main instance. Now .world has all of my info, I can rat out the rest of you scoundrels and neerdowells while maintaining plausible deniability.

Considering .ml was the first Lemmy instance, for it to be a honeypot the entire Lemmy network would have to be, it's just a bunch of tankies

It doesn't need to be a big instance. It just needs to link with them. In fact it's better if it never shows up in posts or comments at all. Just send those tendrils out to every instance they know of and let their data tools filter through it all.
