Let’s say I live under an oppressive regime (don’t we all?) How can I use social media anonymously, so I don’t face reprisals from the government?
Mastodon, Lemmy, Reddit and other social media platforms restrict users who connect through TOR or a VPN.
Is there any way I can create an account on these services and use them anonymously?
Thanks in advance for any information and advice you can provide.
I’ve been using Lemmy and previously Reddit for years with a VPN without issue.
I made a new Reddit account through Mullvad a while ago and immediately got shadow banned. Reddit has been aggressive against new users who use TOR/VPN and browsers that resist fingerprinting.
Maybe you could use a Chromebook and log in from a busy location with many other users?
Only VPN I’ve ever used is Mullvad. Granted I didn’t use it to create my account but I’ve been accessing it for 4 years with it.
