Tor is still alive and well I promise

It is not perfect but it is by far the best thing we have. If it’s legal for you to use you should be doing so.

For sensitive operations you should take further steps (follow the blog) like properly setting up your device, and connecting via a network not connected to you

That’s not quite true, although technically in this case you would be pseudononymous.

You can use Lemmy at opsec level 4-5:

Register an email over tor browser, use that to verify a Lemmy account over tor browser, only ever access over tor browser. Be mindful of what you say and post.

On graphene you can also install always-on orbot/invizible in a seperate profile or private space and use apps like Voyager

Note: some instances like.world block tor users.

dbzer0, Lem.ee, and mander.xyz I know are cool with it

Here are some other options for anonymous email:

A good option is backing up your data, encrypting it, then uploading to a server you can retrieve it from once you’ve crossed

Setting up some stuff might look less sus than a freshly wiped device though

Hi, this is really important and has a real and practical solution: ANONYMITY / OPSEC!

for Lemmy this means registering an account over tor, with email made over Tor (like onionmail.org) and only ever use it over tor. Note that some instances like Lemmy.world won’t allow this. Dbzer0 or lem.ee are good bets

It requires learning how this stuff works but it is so worth it. Do not let them intimidate you into censoring yourself, learn to use technology to your benefit so you don’t have to second guess yourself or be afraid to resist.

I recommend using Tor Browser if you want a quick and easy solution or Whonix if you’re technically inclined/willing to learn/want a full anonymous OS instead of just a browser

I’m considering making a detailed guide for Lemmy resistors but these are great resources to get you started
