Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Elon Musk.
And, let them fuck each other.
Ew David.
There are a lot of things that have to happen for us to go from the world we are in today, to a world where individuals need to avoid being critical of the state online or face reprisal.
Advice like this seems helpful, but regular citizens being punished (by the government) for what they say online is very unlikely. Instance owners and influencers sure, but not your average netizen.
It's far too late for all of my accounts already, and I'm not going to waste my time going back through them and scrubbing every instance of me talking about how Elon Musk buries his four inch cock up to the balls in Donald Trump's throat while Jeffrey Bezos pegs them both with Clint Eastwood's Oscar statues every other Sunday, but he's not allowed to cum unless Vladimir Putin says so over the Zoom window he watches from.
Donald Trump's dick is small and it drives him crazy, and Elon Musk is such a fucking dweeb that even with billions and billions of dollars, he still can't be even slightly cool.
If Trump has a list of people he doesn't like, I would be honored to be on it.
Alternatively, be loud and proud so that you have evidence that you should be granted asylum when the time comes
Lmao, what do you think happens when you show up in an EU country requesting asylum?
They say "The United States is a Democracy. Asylum denied. Good luck." gets deported back to the US
Then the border agents make some excuse that says your US passport is invalid, and you get thrown in a camp where they hold all the "illegal immigrants". Don't forget about the 13th amendment prison slavery exemption.
(And by the time the world no longer recognize the US as a Democracy, it'd be too late, since borders would be closed and you won't be able to leave.)
This is actually not true. If you are part of a "persecuted group" without access to a safe alternative location inside the country of origin, you can seek asylum in the EU.
So for example, trans people from Florida currently cannot seek asylum in the EU although they are at risk of "discriminatory and disproportionate prosecution" for using public restrooms, because there is an "internal protection alternative", in other states.
If however, federal law is passed banning trans folks from public bathroom use, it is likely that they could seek asylum in the EU.

Theres only one way to deal with tyrants, it's to [redacted by lemmy.world admins]
Irony lol
This is needless fearmongering. Follow basic privacy practices and it'll take far more than a "mass surveillance" level of effort to track down your real identity from a social media profile. Also the amount of dislike for Trump and/or Musk is huge, so they'd have to go after like half the population.
And with that said, Trump and Musk are pieces of shit and deserve to die.
Stuff is coming out how they found Luigi. This person is under-informed.
A high profile murder is not comparable to some random guy insulting a politician on social media.
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.
SM…?
Shaking My
Obviously Scarlet Monastery, everything is HR need tank and healer!
I think they mean social media
They had to have meant Space Marines.
um obviously they mean Secret Messages, ELO's much maligned 1983 penultimate album that has since developed a cult following surrounding the original planned 2LP tracklist before it was reduced to one disc shortly before release
It could be. But I think Shared Memory is what they mean.
True, well it's either that or spaghetti and meatballs. It couldn't be anything else.
Oh. I guess I’m only on IG and Lemmy and others just for chat so it didn’t click. Thanks
What happened to socmed
Sesame Meat
So the one friggin person to answer the question deleted their comment? I feel relatively 'connected' online and I have no idea what OP is referring to.
Edit: Jesus christ it's "social media." Why not just spell it out?
He was already president once, anything post 2016 is probably noted.
And some people just never EVER shut up about them so there's plenty of noise to hide in
I'm thinking the noise is hella easy to get posts buried in, especially around here. But still, security through obscurity is not security.
And they won't find you through your posts, they'll crucify you for them once you're caught for something else.
Well, a known fascist tactic is making examples out of randomly chosen people who allegedly said the wrong thing in the wrong place. The amount of noise doesn't matter in that case. They'll just pick people at random they can persecute publicly in an attempt to scare everyone into clamming up and obeying.
At that point, there is no point in censoring yourself, because they will target you randomly regardless. At that point, there will be no point in saying or not saying anything online, because the only recourse will be [removed by lemmy.world admins] until the last one is [removed]
And use Signal for the love of all which does not suck.
I've avoided his name for years. You know he likes when people say his name and I just don't want to give him the satisfaction.
I thought we had to say his name even though his death eaters could apparate to you. I don’t want to say He Who Must Not Be Named.
I've been saying "our former President" but I guess I'll have to change that soon.
"that orange freak" suffices
Why? He will still be "your former President"
It's like that bumper sticker - one day we will wake up to his obituary
I'm too old to bother, but thanks for the advice. Both should hope to be forgotten in our lifetimes.
Gone, maybe. Forgettable, hopefully, but never forgotten. Forgetting just means someone new will repeat it.
I mean, you and I hope they are remembered forever as the villains they are, so, like I said, they should hope to go down as little more than footnotes.
A lame-duck 2nd term is the best Trump's legacy can hope for.
