I’m wondering if I should just delete lemmy to stay under the radar. 🤔 (I’m a US Citizen currently residing in the US, and moving out of the country is not really an option)

I feel so conflicted on this. On one hand, this is kinda like giving in to authoritarianism, but on the other hand, dissenting is kinda dangerous. 😓

    I don’t see them coming for all of us. It’s just not practical to arrest everyone who complains.

    It all comes down to other characteristics:

    • are you someone influential or high profile they can make an example of, to promote fear?
    • do you have any connection to another country, no matter how tenuous, where they can use this as an excuse to deport?
    • are you part of another demographic bias they want to persecute, such as lgbt, where they can use this as an excuse to legally persecute?
