@MandyJane @EmmaFaber @mk Other instances have the IP address of Spinster’s server, but not your personal IP address. You talk to Spinster, and Spinster relays the message to other servers on your behalf (without sending any sensitive data like IP addresses, email, or passwords).

@EmmaFaber @MandyJane @mk Correct. Also, due to the fact the image contains Sonic the Hedgehog, I’d say it was a joke not meant to be taken seriously.

Literally scrolled through /Downloads on my phone 'til something tickled my fancy.

That said, let's talk about the folks on spinster asking "how to find me"

You know, other than going to 4751 St Joseph Creek Rd, APT 106 in Lisle IL, 60532

Also, my social is 310-17-1733. Come. At. Me.

Give me a ring! (630) 470-1769.

@dave @alex @EmmaFaber @MandyJane @mk yessir. when teslamotors.com was on network solutions, the guy who swatted me (and a sony ceo) dozens of times called up network solutions and asked very nicely for access to the domain.

he got it, changed dns records, reset elon musk and tesla's twitter passwords, and then put my dox all over those accounts. the oswego police had to escort someone away who would not leave until we opened the garage door to prove we didn't have his "free tesla"

@dave @alex @EmmaFaber @MandyJane @mk oh, and for the ladies whining and crying over a sonic meme

I got this message over the phone once an hour, every hour, for a month straight. don't fucking talk to me about being harassed until you've dealt with 0.001% of what I've dealt with
