Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

No, but it shows what they're capable of. Are you banking on Trump continuing the status quo? Even with all the random threats he's been throwing around? In charge of the most powerful military in the world? Do you think he's above labeling us all radical leftist terrorists and sending the militarized police after us?
Things are changing. We have no idea what to expect yet.
The US government and its oligarch pals has so much data on each of us already that if you haven't been completely sanitary with your internet usage from the start, you're already in a database, and there's no point in worrying about it now.
I agree with the sentiment of this post, but let's face it: if we get to the point where they're sending secret police to everyone who ever said "fuck Trump" online, we're beyond fucked, and electronic defenses will be moot at that point. Using euphemisms for Trump and Musk won't save you from their surveillance.
Right now, it's important to be outspoken about every one of their abuses, to name and shame them for as long as it's still allowed, because the moment it's not, there won't be anything left to defend.
That's fair, it's definitely a possibility. However in my opinion it's far too unlikely to justify the self-censorship.
