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.


Mastodon nor Lemmy restrict your use of Tor or VPN. Maybe an instance does, but hardly every instance. Just find an instance that doesn’t restrict your use.
Any social network or other web service, also Lemmy, is forced to give the user data it has, when there is an court order.
