Hello everyone!

Hello everyone and welcome to the lemmy.world hacking community! Anything related to hacking is allowed here. but be careful what you say on lemmy. Lemmy is not private and tools already exist to try and identify lemmy users. With that being said I will create a signal group and a session chat group if the community is interested in that. If there is anything at all I can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask. I will try and have the basic tool repo online by next weekend and then I will open it up to others so we can edit it as a community.

Would love having a signal, matrix or telegram group tbh :) Would probably be safer than to talk about it here. Especially if it's breaking the instances rule 1...
- I am not sure that groups would be made like in telegram or matrix for the public to use in Signal until the username feature gets released.
  
  Signal has usernames, they are linked to phone #s though which is signals 1 drawback. Session works similarly to signal except every user is anonymous. Telegram could be used but I just don't trust them. If it's what the community wants though, then it's what we'll do.

What kind of tools? Can you elaborate further?
- I can't find the link to the tool I found the other day. It looked at things like most active user post time and would try to discern things like the users time zone, county they are in, etc. It was a fediverse version of Reddit investigator. If I find the link I'll update the post with it.
  
  Okay, thanks.
