I came to the thread to say exactly this. [email protected] is pawbably the best option for communication. It's cheap and encrypted. Use an old smartphone to connect to your node, without a SIM in it. Or get a T-Deck.
Even if you don't plan on protesting, and you absolutely must be on Facebook, always delete everything more than one week old. None of it will ever appear on the feeds of your friends and family again anyway, its only value is to data mine about you.

I don't have any filters, this is a platform problem
Strange, we don't see it on our end and others don't. So you may be correct, it might be lemmy.ml
Americans: got it! change profile picture on Facebook, do nothing else
Otherwise you might end up like those Jan 6th guys.

I saw a thing about agencies still holding onto encrypted data they harvest.
They can't use it today, but as the cryptology arms race goes on, (and processors improve) it becomes much easier to brute-force decrypt.
So in 5-10 years, they might suddenly have a file on you.
