Right, like the other person says, Lemmy fundamentally doesn't work like that. IDK what Piefed is. Ironically, in a sense, 4chan was ahead of us by decades.

After a brief period of lawlessness, 4chan became a big gluey honeypot on behalf of every big law enforcement agency in the country. You’d have been a lot better off posting your drug offers and revenge porn in a Yahoo Chess chat room.
You’re not completely wrong, though. The idea of thinking through some basic measures like Tor-friendliness and anonymous signups (as if requiring an email address does a microgram’s worth of good to prevent abusive users from signing up) sounds okay, but grafting real OPSEC against the government onto these federated platforms at this stage sounds nigh-impossible to do in any reliable fashion.

Hellooooo? Fascists? Are you on Lemmy?

Yeah, I don't think I'm on the right part of Lemmy where fascists are engaging. Not that I'm complaining. It just feels like you're living in an igloo complaining that a cactus might grow.

I think it's extremely likely that the Trump DOJ will start looking over all internet activity to try to find evidence of terroristic and/or leftist activity, and charging people with crimes for same. The fact that Lemmy is a niche platform probably won't make much difference.

Piefed is another fediverse link aggregator project, like lemmy and kbin

Lemmy is simply not the place for that sort of communication.

It's not about fascists on the platform but living in a fascist country where posting on a left leaning platform is already suspicious.

I've never been on 4Chan, but I've heard stories of who 4Chan users are, and what their posts are.

thanks for the rec

Lemmy is a public forum, if you want to communicate privately exchange matrix handles and communicate there.

That is interesting! Thanks for the tip!
Also, it’s their icon a community reference?

No idea, never used it, I just happen to know it exists.

A lock or panick button that immediately wipes everything and makes the logs unusable
-
Easy support for canaries and transparency from the admins, like on Peertube where you're incentivised to write something about your newly installed instance, where it's located etc

Maybe take inspiration from European GDPR, assess which information can be used for what, make it transparent to the user what gets stored where and why...
