Let's say I live under an oppressive regime (don't we all?) How can I use social media anonymously, so I don't face reprisals from the government?

Mastodon, Lemmy, Reddit and other social media platforms restrict users who connect through TOR or a VPN.

Is there any way I can create an account on these services and use them anonymously?

Thanks in advance for any information and advice you can provide.

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 think Tor with Tor Bridges (to obscure that you use Tor) is your best bet. Or using Tor over a VPN (using a VPN systemwide and then connect to Tor)

    Everything else is just standard opsec, not leaking personal information and so on

    Also, don't use a E-Mail address or phone number tied to your real information, like your name or IP address. Because that is how many people got caught in the past.
