I am sure
we have federal employees monitoring what’s going on here, but I don’t
think they’d announce themselves this way.

Why just monitor? Aren’t all contributions welcome???!?

In seriousness, I’ll requote something @adw said in another thread 1 that applies here and generally any social site on the internet:

@adw

A malicious actor could easily create an account on this forum (or a hundred), use infosec jargon, and write convincingly to socially engineer unsuspecting Qubes users into compromising themselves.

The best solution is for users to be skeptical of what strangers on the internet tell them to do.
