It’s like Trump and his team are just allergic to competence. There’s no other explanation for it.

I see Hitler was there on the network; maybe that’s how we recently learned about this.

Is infested with nazis really the phrase to be used? Maybe more appropriate: nazis have come home to roost, or nazis found like minded group, or shit-tier people found other shit-tier people to hang out with… infestation connotes it wasn’t the intended outcome

In my many years in the tech industry, I met a few libertarian programmers, but the vast majority were, as far as I could tell, liberal, progressive, socialist, communist, or anarchist.
A related fact, which may not be a fact since it’s based solely on pre-internet common wisdom and my own experience, the majority of them have dropped acid or eaten mushrooms.

Appropriate for cockroaches, so appropriate for nazis. Or do you prefer “diseased with”?

I think his point is “if you’re building a roach motel, you probably wouldn’t refer to it as ‘infested’”. Instead, you’d say it’s “working as designed”.
A more appropriate word might be “occupied”; as in “we built this white-supremacist-friendly chat service, and fortunately the nazis have found it and are beginning to occupy it faster than Poland.”

I guess they borrowed the “space age” security tech from the pillow jerk’s failed site.

I’m just saying that if you’re building a website for trump followers, the human scum that follows is a feature not an infestation

It feels unfair to say it was “hacked.” That implies someone did something to get insider information that allowed access to normally inaccessible data on the site. But all they did was use APIs to access - and scrape - a bunch of user data that was apparently publicly accessible. This wasn’t a case of overcoming the site’s security - that wasn’t necessary since the information was in public view for anyone who knew how to look. It wasn’t hacked - they designed it this way.
I mean, sure, it’s also been hacked as well, but…
