I sometimes have ideas for law-abiding hacktivist activity involving various political views. I am extremely liberal when it comes to support of free speech and LGBT+ rights. I have one idea in particular that I would like to do and would like others to help and don’t want to do it alone. Understanding html and website development would help, as well as understanding linux. I know something about how to setup a server but not other things related to web development. For various reasons, I wouldn’t want to post my specific idea on here, because although it’s not illegal, it could be controversial. Where do I find like-minded individuals?
Next event is apparantly August 7-10, 2025.
Just share you idea. If all you need is some web development it cant really be that controversial.
Fuck law abiding activism, stonewall was a riot and the law will not make us silent.
I’m no hacktivist but I’m a pretty experienced back end dev/sre and an activist. I won’t tell your secrets if you wanted to run your idea past someone or need advice.
Nice try, FBI :)
How do you do, fellow hackers
I know it sounds “unlawful”, but sometimes law does the wrong things for the wrong reason because it’s made by the wrong people. When this happens, you are faced with two option: do the right thing by breaking the law, or do the wrong thing by following the law.
We don’t have to find an esoteric example for this. Since you mentioned LGBT+ right, we have one right here.
Trump just moved forward rejecting transgender identity, essentially making being transgender illegal. With such example, one could argue that a law-abiding transphobe is right your alley.
Just post your controversial idea, I bet it’s not that unique.
Yeah, this sounds eerily similar to “I have a great secret app idea, all I need is a programmer.”
I mean, I’m all for helping with social issues, but the first rule of app/site development is that it’s probably already been done.
