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.

No, you can’t participate in the yelling out your thoughts at max volume system privately.

Social media is public. What you post or reply to is public. Even unexpected metadata about your interactions is public.

You can’t use social media without being social and sociality is by definition not anonymous. Anonymity is antisocial.

You can’t stick your hand in the hand grinding machine safely. It’s meant to grind hands that are stuck in it.

If you’re scared, go to church.
