Do you have any actual evidence of this?

- blindriver 10mo agoThe comment you linked to is deleted. Do you happen to have anything else? I'm concerned by the accusations and want to know more.
- freejazz 10mo agoHere's one example. Have you not been following DOGE? You do come off like you're disingenuously concern trolling over something you don't agree with politically. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/04/whistleblower-doge-siphoned-nlrb-case-data/ https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/04/whistleblower-doge-sipho...
- overfeed 10mo ago> You do come off like you're disingenuously concern trolling over something you don't agree with politically. Beyond mere political alignment, lots of actual DOGE boys were recruited (or volunteered) from the valley, and hang around HN. Don't be surprised by intentional muddying of the waters. There are bunch of people invested in managing the reputation of DOGE, so their association with it doesn't become a stain on theirs.
- freejazz 10mo agoGreat point. It's all so funny because DOGE was just so ridiculous on the face of itself.
