Yep; I've been dealing with them a lot.

Well, like I said before, and basically confirmed when corresponding with the fed, I think most of them don't understand even a really simple decentralized system like fedi. This fed in particular was just using an internal tool that hooked into the SocialGist/BoardReader API, he never even clicked the link to look at FSE.

Luckily, I know a lot of lawyers and I have a couple of pretty good ones to call if something gets weird. I recommend that people either get some business cards or go have drinks near a courthouse.
