  • Her mugshot should be representing these articles. Here: Tina Peters Tina Peters Convicted Election Fraudster

    Here’s some illuminating quotes too:

    In court on Thursday, Peters told the judge she was “very taken back by how awful I’ve been depicted when I was just trying to do my job.” In return, Judge Barrett said Peters was "as defiant of a defendant as this court has ever seen.”

    and

    “She undermined the security of her own office. She brought somebody into the office using credentials that weren’t their own. She turned off her cameras to her election area, which had been on nonstop, continuously for 10 years. She allowed the image of her election software to go out into the public where bad actors can study that, look for vulnerabilities and do nefarious things if they get actual physical access to the components," Crane said. “I don’t think people realize just how serious the nature of her crimes really are." –Matt Crane, executive director of the Colorado County Clerks Association

  • On 4chan people refer to “containment” boards for topics that are racist, inflammatory, or regularly derail conversations (ex. pol, b, mlp). That way the people who want that aren’t always polluting boards where people just want to talk about (for example) food or technology.

    So I was half joking that hexbear is like a containment board. It isn’t quite the same, but since other Lemmy instances can block hexbear all at once it has the same effect.
