Yeah the seventeen regular posters of this reddit-clone are sure to attract the United States' justice department's office of brandon-posting, q love and transphobia.

Talk about an inflated self image....

No doubt that Feds visit this site just to check on activity or even just the climate. Whether or not they are active users here is another guess.

Really, you have no doubt that there's a team within the justice department who do rounds of twenty-member Reddit clones to "check on activity".

How on earth did you develop a worldview where a statement like that leaves you with "no doubt"?

That's how they work. Do you think they sit around and wait for a "tip" to come in? Maybe they visit once a week, but this site gets enough traffic for them to visit. Maybe they even have crawlers that search for text and keywords and only bring in a real person when something pops up.

wait for a "tip"

Yes, that's how I think they work, they deal with criminal complaints.

And no, if you read the snowden leaks you would have seen - even with thousands and thousands of contractors they can't deal with every flagged statement that gets typed into the internet.

"I'm going to kill the president with a bomb"

That's not going to summon a human for review. It just doesn't work like that

We're going to have to disagree on this one and leave it at that.
