It's mindblowing how many people will just outright confess to crimes on social media. Basic opsec is to tell nobody. Not your friends, partner, mom, nobody. The thing people are juggling with flock cameras is balancing your own risk of getting caught vs. stoking public opinion in support of tearing these things down, which is tricky to get right. Bottom line with how psychotic this admin is though, if you're not confident you can post anonymously, probably better to not post at all.

You really should not do this though - at the very least turn your phone off, better would be to leave it at home. This admin is not above geofencing to investigate petty vandalism, and flock cameras are very rarely the only cameras in a given area (and they tattle, so if you do cut one down get out asap).

Also, apropos of nothing, make sure you're using the right type of blade for the material you're cutting. Aluminum can gum up some steel cutting tools (especially abrasive disks and portaband blades) surprisingly fast which is why aluminum specific versions are made. Oh and make sure your tools are properly insulated before cutting thru something you can't isolate, electrocution is even less fun than it looks.

Which admin? Is the admin of !privacy@lemmy.world doxxing people? That sounds like the opposite of privacy
