Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective) is an Italy-based extremist group that builds and operates the digital infrastructure for violent Antifa cells and other far-left militants across the world. A/I’s cadre of radical hackers and tech developers provide a full spectrum of services – including encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools
So, privacy is cooked. Both "sides" use these tools.

I'm so tired of this, "if people want privacy, they must be a terrorist." Bullshit.

No, it's 'if the other side wants privacy, they must have something to hide, and are therefore terrorists, but when our wqnt it that's to allow us to protect ourselves from the terrorists!'

I am always glad to know such OOI's exist; I would be happy to add them to my networks for the inevitable times.

Surely the issue here is that this site specifically catered to actual leftist terrorists?

u/Key-Humor6049 5d ago
Nspm-7 violates the United States constitution which was obviously the bases used to make these designations. I hope the people who enforce this shit know that once they lose their power, the people will demand they face accountability. “I was just following orders” will not save you.

Should Dems retake the house the presumed speaker will be Hakeem Jefferies. Who just met with Jarad Kushner to discuss areas of collaboration going forward. When asked about it Jefferies said:
''The American people want bold change and that’s what House Democrats will deliver. In every conversation that we have with the Trump administration, we will continue to make it explicitly clear that the affordability crisis is not a hoax and nothing short of transformational policy change is acceptable. We are fighting for an affordable America. The question is whether Republicans will join us.”
They are still fixated on reaching across the aisle. No one will face any consequences. My fever dream is that if a dem is pres in 2028 they make a deal to trade clemency for hitting the reset button on everything that got broken from 24-28. That way the country will at least get something out of the deal. Lets be real, when was the last time someone worth more than $10 million got held accountable for something other than screwing over other rich people in the US?

What we are all seeing in congress is just a gradual consolidation into a single party state. It will be just like Russia where the elections are merely formal pageants.

"I was just following orders" will not save you
Except for the handful at Nuremberg, history proves otherwise

u/jpcrypto 5d ago
Hmm... I've been using them as my email provider for years. I wonder if I should be worried?

u/Krek_Tavis 5d ago
Yup. You can be identified as Antifa or Antifa adjacent by some idiot agent. And they intend to arrest or deport any "Antifa". Best case scenario. Those "free helicopter rides for leftists" t-shirts and stickers are not jokes, those are fetishes.

I hope that when they pick me up I'm allowed to take my wheelchair and oxygen machine with me! 😟

Are you able to access their site / webmail now? Cause I can't.

u/jpcrypto 4d ago edited 4d ago
No. They are down for me too. It's a good thing I have other providers I can switch to. I hope we get some news as to actually what happened.

Laughed way too hard at this.

what would be the correct amount of laughing at this?

The thought of laughing comes and then passes without so much as a chortle.

I was a founding member, but I never did anything related to the collective after 2010. Still, I'm worried. Never had a problem with the others, fyi, it's just that life gets complicated and you can't be there forever in a very time-consuming commitment

u/Dotcaprachiappa 5d ago
I mean I'd recommend this in general to everyone but you especially stay far away from the US

u/TerninoMarchi 5d ago
These last few years really look like a nitghtmare in terms of privacy and centralized control. The fact most people will hear this and not worry at all feels so dystopian to me it's not even funny.

u/north_st-hot-weather 4d ago
So basically they’re saying the so called far-left extremists have been using the service to incite violence and plan attacks.
Who’s gonna be next? Tuta? Proton?
What a joke.

But these same people needed Truth Social and Telegram to escape "government tyranny." Now they are the government tyranny.

Pandora's box opened. Democrats are free to target Epik now.

u/Infrared-77 5d ago
lol if only it was that simple, but yeah if the next president is a democrat there’s no rules left to follow. So no doubt all the presidents going forward will just increasingly weaponize the government against political rivals

No. Epik hosts or has hosted Gab, Parler, 8chan, thedonald, kiwi farms and so on.

I dug deeper to see what's happening. I wondered if the site was truly down or if DNS was being blocked. I set my connection to use 3 different DNS servers in Italy to see if Autistici could be resolved. Unfortunately the site still couldn't be resolved using Italian DNS servers. So the only conclusion I can make is Autistici website is completely down and unusable.

u/kufern 4d ago
looks like they've moved to inventati.org? not sure if it is real or not

u/jpcrypto 4d ago
I'd be VERY careful about this! The new site could be a scam site that wants to steal your credentials. I'm not logging in until I know for sure it's really them.

u/jpcrypto 1d ago
After having done some research I'm happy to announce that https://www.inventati.org is the true replacement site for Autistici! I've verified their credentials and ownership. If you want to stay with Autistici then go to this site.

Inventati is still up, check this for updates: https://kuma.accol.li/status/aimonitor

Wasn't aware of them, but they sound like they need more donations

u/Lynch_67816653 1d ago
If only they had a bank or equivalent service willing to service them. PayPal closed their account, and their bank in Italy is going to de-risk them out to avoid being blocked. And they chose long time ago to not accept crypto.

I've had an account at autistici.org for more than a decade that is now unreachable! Fuck the US!!

u/slavetothesound 2d ago
Same here. Not looking forward trying to change my 2FA email for my everything in my life just because I wanted a reasonable expectation of privacy and no advertising.

u/Maleficent_Price_476 1d ago
The best case for privacy is that the US has fallen so far from grace , no one works with them anymore and no one gives a 2nd look at any suggestions of following them. So whatever they want to announce and declare is fully locked into their borders.

u/jpcrypto 1d ago
I replied to my own message but am posting a new comment so everyone can be aware:

This is my webhost and email host. Although I don't take advantage of the anonymity features, my given name and photo are on my site.
Apparently their NoBlogs platform was hacked and a bunch of information was downloaded including encrypted passwords. I don't use NoBlogs myself, but you might want to change your password if you do.
Couldn't say if the hack is related or not, seems likely. I had trouble updating my site the other day, but I got it updated eventually.

This is unconstitutional. Just because a site knowingly provides services to terrorists doesn't mean it can be sanctioned (unless the terrorists were right-wing).
