1/3 NEW DEVELOPMENT Did so-called reporter Hudson Cozier get his information from notorious Nazi doxing site AntifaWatch on X? AntifaWatch publicly identified A/I as shared infrastructure for several anarchist and antifascist publications months before Hudson Crozier's October 2025 investigation

2/3 made substantially the same infrastructure connection. Crozier later publicly contacted AntifaWatch in August 2026 seeking more of its A/I research. The available record establishes chronological overlap and later direct contact, but does not establish that AntifaWatch supplied Crozier's

If you have a NoBlogs site, preserve a copy of it now while the public pages are still reachable. Nobody can currently rely on WordPress admin access, so one practical option is HTTrack, a free tool that downloads a static copy of a public website. www.httrack.com 1/5

After preservation: • get your own domain if needed • choose a new host • set up WordPress or another publishing platform • import any official NoBlogs export if one becomes available • otherwise rebuild from the static copy • keep independent backups 4/5

Give HTTrack your NoBlogs homepage URL, let it crawl the site, then check the downloaded copy. Make sure your posts, pages, images and files are actually there. Then make another copy of that backup somewhere else. 2/5

1/6 A/I may be ending. The story is nowhere near over. For twenty-five years, #AutisticiInventati showed what it could mean for movements to build and control their own communications infrastructure. Its loss should not send everyone searching for the next single service to replace it.

5/6 We need to understand how to build a thousand different pieces of what made A/I possible. Sabot is beginning a living guide to autonomous media and infrastructure, aimed especially at small and rural projects: how to publish, archive, distribute, host, mirror and keep going when a platform,

5/6 We never thought we’d have to find out. Thanks to those who guarded servers as if they were hearths, to those who wrote code as one writes a love letter, to those who kept free spaces alive whilst everything else was crumbling around them.

1/9 Nineteen days before the U.S. sanctions deadline, Autistici/Inventati is shutting down. For twenty-five years, A/I built infrastructure for people who understood that privacy, autonomy and resistance require more than good intentions.

8/9 Use the graphics below provided by @subvertising@mastodon.bida.im to keep their memory alive. Let's not forget this by next week! Goodbye, A/I. Not farewell. Read our full report: sabot.media/post/ai-shut... campaign page: sabot.media/campaigns/au...

6/9 flourishing, not retreating. Build them in basements, social centers, infoshops, collectives, cooperatives and wherever else people can keep a machine humming and a cable plugged into the wall. The lesson cannot be that autonomous infrastructure was too dangerous to maintain.

4/9 And this cannot remain a problem for “the nerds.” People organizing in every sphere need to understand what autonomous infrastructure means, why it matters, and what happens when we leave it to a tiny number of exhausted technical collectives to keep the lights on for everyone else.

2/9 Now a government order has made keeping that infrastructure alive untenable. There is grief in this. There should also be fury. Because fascism does not arrive only as boots in the street.
