NSA? Yes. CIA? Probably not. They don't have that kind of imagination. c.f., the internal parody of The Hunt for Red October they declassified about a decade ago.

fair, I think JWICS was for DoD only.

I don't think JWICS is DoD only. In theory, any TLA or FLA that handles TS material, has a SCIF and a local JWICS LAN can't be hooked into the rest of the JWICS network.

It wouldn't surprise me. The definitely have a need for their own entirely separate network.

No way man, I was on identi.ca

was surprised to learn I technically still am, and password recovery even worked after >10 years since previous log in, and I hear rumors the original dev is back and will be releasing integrated support with ActivityPub this summer.

eChirp is a fork of identica, did you read the article?

the original identi.ca devs are all active with the activity pub protocol project.
