Actions have consequences.
I warned everyone for literally years that I would create a fediverse search tool if I didn't get anybody to play with. I got tired of bluffing.
btw, if "people might not like that smh read the room" was a valid reason to shut someone down, the civil rights movement would not have happened.
Fact of the matter is, I'm allowed to have hobbies. I'm allowed to keep myself busy. I'm allowed to do... anything I want, that's not illegal. And the cops already told me there's no issue with as:Public... but they did want to let me know about the volume of phone calls.
@bot @Herman_Hetherington Wouldn't be subject to FOIA. Feds are actually *really* good at not letting slip what they do/don't/cannot know/share/say.
@bot @Herman_Hetherington The really good FOIA laws are the state ones. So in theory if someone called the local departments where I lived, that could be something I could grab. The county 9-1-1 dispatchers would be easier (less of them) but that doesn't cover someone calling non-emergency, in most cases.
But yes, every time I used to get swatted, I'd usually have a FOIA request in for the 9-1-1 call and CAD ticket within a few hours of them leaving. I still got everything.
