I started my career reporting on how people were using the Internet in dictatorships, and if there's one BIG thing I learned from talking to a bunch of people who literally had served jail time for political blogging, it was "choose your battles wisely, and don't say dumb things in dumb places."

Abso-fucking-lutely right. (Different country, but...) When I was a kid in a socialist family, my parents would always say "Do not get tattoos when you're old enough. You need to have no identifiable physical characteristics". It comes from the same place: do not make yourself a target.

Excellent advice, something I can absolutely concur with having been hounded for years by the relevant organs of the CCP for writing about Xinijang and Tibet. People, it is perfectly acceptable to post on social media under a screen name and if other users don't like it they can ignore or block you.

It's one of the reasons why I don't like people complaining about how more Russians aren't out on the streets protesting. I don't *want* them protesting, and thus getting flagged by the Kremlin as a threat, and neutralized. I want them silently sabotaging the Russian war effort off-grid.

pretty sure that what some people say on the Internet is just going to be "addtional evidence" for some of us, after they put out the executive orders allowing them to seize and examine pharmacy records and medical records for "national security purposes".

A lot of people on this website think it's safe for them to make jokes about [redacting] people just because bluesky doesn't have a moderation platform on par with Facebook yet.

This is true, but I transcribe a lot of criminal trials and if they want to get you they will take a bunch of shit you said out of context and use it anyway. Or else they will make shit you thought was perfectly legal, illegal. Like protesting or criticizing the government
