    Makes me wonder,

    Similar to all the peeps 20 years ago in the SETI@home movement, where you could donate your CPU/bandwidth.

    Is there any ‘safe’ way to donate and collectively protest on the internet by signing up to a botnet?

      low orbit ion cannon and friends were tools for participating in anon ddos ops back in the day, but it wasn’t exactly safe – without a vpn your isp and other intermediaries can see your traffic, and the host can see your ip address. with a vpn you’re in part dosing your vpn, depending on the attack

      no idea how anon organizes such things these days
