Hi everyone👋🏻

I run the Epstein Files Research Discord, a community with 6,000+ members focused on researching, archiving, and discussing documents related to the Epstein files.

This Friday at 9:15 p.m. CET, we’ll be hosting a community watch event where we’ll go through the full depositions of Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton that were recently released.

The idea is simple: we’ll watch the entire depositions together. Since many people may join, discussion will take place in a live text chat alongside the viewing rather than voice discussion.

If you’re interested in following the documents, discussing the material, or joining the watch event, you’re welcome to join.🫶🏻

    I’m just going to jump in here and say that OP did message me to ask if it was okay to post this beforehand, which I really appreciate.

    I’m very happy to have a respectful discourse on why the choice of platform matters, as long as we stay respectful.

    Why are you using the probably-compromised, recently-disgraced, Orwellian, privacy-violating Discord for that?

    You’re (perhaps unknowingly) potentially exposing each and every person that innocently joins your group to government scrutiny and unjust targeting by the pedophiles that you’re trying to fight against.

    Federated, free, open source, and decentralized or GTFO.

      Because it’s an easy standard millions already use? Sure the other option is the ethical sustainable option but don’t just ignore how accessible it is for a large amount of people. This project should be about the files, not FOSS, theres a time and a place

        Time: now (as we’re finding out that AI is being used to correlate usernames with real world identities and so much more)

        Place: We’re already here on the fediverse.

        I resist Discord the same way that I resist public groups putting their official group chat on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or TikTok. It’s wrong…and besides, FAR more easily censored/compromised.

        In fact, it should be codified into law that private corporations shall not be the sole gatekeepers to public technologies.

        Discourage private corporations being used for public information wherever you see it.

      You ever watch the Netflix doc about reddit true crime detectives?

      OP is giving big vibes of that, and judging from the account age that’s where most of the discord is from too.

      They’re not gonna understand why fascist supporting platforms are the worst place to organize against fascism. They don’t even understand that fascists don’t play by the rules.

        Please, like you could do better. This man is actively spearheading the initiative to hold these people accountable and you’re sitting in your house looking down your neck at your phone

    Any concern building this on discord knowing at any day they could implement face scans and other biometric I’d requirements for the whole site?

    Even if you shut the group down when it happens, anyone who doesn’t delete their account would have their ID tied to all activity and accessible to the government.

      We have a backup plan for that but also: We are not doing illegal stuff on the discord, the government can get your information with other methods, they don’t need no discord for that.

        Lol

        Man, I wish that still mattered. But it’s naive to think it does.

        And it’s concerning that people leading stuff like this don’t understand any of it.

        There’s nothing wrong with being a follower not everyone should lead
