   people really going out there pulling fucking psyops on entire gaming communities but they don't have the slightest clue of how to maintain good OPSEC or how to write code so they can automate some of what they do or develop tools to keep anonymous under circumstances where people want to deanonymize you
   
   how do you do that without all that in depth knowledge for so long?

     @pantherastare I dunno. Went down a rabbit hole of an expose YouTube video featuring an absolute sperg who was disgraced in the TrackMania speedrunning community in 2021 after being exposed for cheating since 2011 (not a typo he submitted mostly hacked records for 10 years) and then proceeded to pretend to leave, in reality he kept playing, made dozens of alt accounts, one of which was used to dox somebody on the leaderboards, had a small network of social media accounts which he used to defend his glory by shaming detractors, and also he stole the identity of one of his childhood friends on an alt which he tried to become famous on
     
     TrackMania is an old series from my understanding, dating back to 2003, so I really dunno

     @pantherastare The only reason people were able to catch on to this guy returning was because of breadcrumbs he left behind from really bad OPSEC and also some patch the community uses to ensure competitive integrity phones home with a minor fingerprint of what the players set up looks like. He used the same controller and rare skins on several of the accounts used to play trackmania

     @nyanide and the bulk of this work was probably done by like 2 guys with occasional discoveries made by random people because nobody really cares unless it's to bitch and moan
