Insert the Padme Anakin meme here.


The problem is that Reddit shadow bans new accounts that use TOR or any browsers that resist fingerprinting. I know because I tried recently.


Thank you, I will keep timing attacks in mind when making my posts. Writing style recognition is not a big problem since they won’t have any samples to compare my posts against.


Fair enough. I only tried lemmy.world. I will try .org and .zip to see if they work through TOR. That still leaves Reddit (unfortunately some communities I like are concentrated over there).


It’s not completely impossible. We still don’t know who Satoshi Nakamoto is, for example.
I know instances will have to divulge logs if ordered, hence my bid to use TOR/VPN. If there is no way to do that, then I will think of some other way to communicate with people.


I made a new Reddit account through Mullvad a while ago and immediately got shadow banned. Reddit has been aggressive against new users who use TOR/VPN and browsers that resist fingerprinting.


Fair enough, I only tried the big instances. I will try lemmy.org as another user suggested.
I had tried making a Reddit account through Mullvad recently, but it shadowbanned me. Same through TOR. Unfortunately some communities I want to participate in are concentrated over there.


I should have communicated more clearly. Pseudonymous is fine, as long as it cannot be tied back to my real identity via tracing my IP address or whatever.


I’ve definitely met some highly educated nutjobs who believed some crazy bullshit outside their field.
Over here, people with PhDs believe crazy bullshit inside their own fields.
The universities in my country are ridiculous. Many of the"top" engineering and medical colleges are run by religious nutjobs, who invite preachers and mystics to give lectures. Instead of spending public money on scientific research, they spend it on astrology or other pseudo-scientific nonsense.
People absent from religious gatherings are more likely to be atheists, yes. But the challenge still remains of meeting up with them safely. Even when we communicate online on Reddit, there are lots of religious nutjobs lurking or even pretending to be atheists. Absolute fanatics who are just waiting for a chance to kill someone without consequences.


Thank you for your kind words. I will take reasonable precautions to be safe until I can leave this stupid country.


Thanks, I will look this up. It seems promising.


Yes, I will exclusively use TOR for this purpose.

This looks really promising. Thank you!


I could use TOR, but sadly it is unrealistic to expect everyone else to use TOR so a .onion address won’t work.


Pop!_OS has an option to enable automatic updates.

I see you are using both Cursor and Claude. Two of the six contributors are chatbots.
And you want people to pay you for the privilege of letting this vibecoded garbage scan their inboxes.
I think I will pass.
