    I believe the .gov rumor isn’t true, and it’s mainly .edus. I haven’t seen it, though. Waiting for someone to drop a pastebin/other leak, because all the reddit threads showing a source end up getting removed before I can read them.

      I’ve seen the list on the party site. There were 3 .edu out of 219 emails total. 152 gmail, 17 hotmail/outlook, 18 protonmail, 2 4chan, and the rest were custom.

      No .gov.

        I know there were plenty of ways to get a free .edu email circulating around the internet for a while too, because they could be used to get student discounts on subscriptions or software. 4chan users seem like the likely sort to try that loophole.

    No you stupid motherfucker, of course it’s not true, use your god damn head! Media literacy is fucking dead. Fucking smooth-brained, tik-tok rotted, ipad kids; stop falling for the most blatantly false BS!

    If they are US government employees, they wouldn’t be arrogant enough to use official work email addresses.
