YSK: Don't spell Trump or Musk on SM anymore.
They're actively engaged in and expressed desire in increased levels personal surveillance. With AI on the rise we can't be too careful. Don't make it too easy to find posts by you containing their names, or allusions to them. In a few years, posts like these could be considered illegal - even retroactively like the Nazis did!
I work in IT, specifically education. I know how easy it can be to passively and actively monitor thousands of people with one station. It's probably already too late for us, but we can try.
Use metaphor, don't use the direct spelling, don't make your intentions completely clear.

Breaking unjust and stupid laws is my duty as an American. Fuck Elon Musk and Donald Trump. They can eat my ass, and not in the good way.
What has Yoshi done?
He's pretty well known for committing tax fraud
He eats bad guys.
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.
Irony lol
Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Elon Musk.
And, let them fuck each other.
Ew David.
Alternatively, be loud and proud so that you have evidence that you should be granted asylum when the time comes
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.

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.
I love how centric it is that we're expected to be psychic with ad-hoc initialisms from a clique.
Oh. I guess Iโm only on IG and Lemmy and others just for chat so it didnโt click. Thanks
What happened to socmed
Obviously Scarlet Monastery, everything is HR need tank and healer!
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?
Shaking My
Stuff is coming out how they found Luigi. This person is under-informed.
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.
You should explain what "stuff" is "coming out", then, instead of vagueposting.
If Trump has a list of people he doesn't like, I would be honored to be on it.
A lot of things just sorta clicked recently. I can say I feel better now than I ever have before. This shit is finally making sense on a level I can explain to my peers.
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.
From what I know Element is a safer bet (similarly encrypted, but also decentralized), but Signal is the best one out of the messengers that don't require any technical knowledge.
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 donโt 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.
Why? He will still be "your former President"
"that orange freak" suffices
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.
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.
It's like that bumper sticker - one day we will wake up to his obituary
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.
