hey gang, i know many of you use riseup and noblogs which is a service offered by autistici
the united states has issued sanctions against them and formally categorized then as terrorists:

needless to say, service providers like riseup are in their sights, if they haven't already been popped! and be sure that anybody using their services are likewise on the menu for further action. this includes any emails on those providers' infrastructure (even if you use a custom email with them - the actual email provided is public info via dns) or websites hosted by them!
be aware of this when making your moves!
- i would not recommend publicly using an email for any known provider for anything that can be associated with your name
- i would not log into any of those services unless over tor or a vpn you trust to a high degree (including ssh etc)
- i would not host websites on their infra unless directly relates to activism
- i would absolutely never use their email services for anything sensitive, incriminating, or containing personal info (tbh this applies to all email including proton and tuta). i've reviewed their encrypted email stuff and it's lacking
- absolutely never use their vpn services
