How can I use social media anonymously?

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.

You can’t use social media anonymously, it will all be pseudonymous aslong as you engage, if you consume social media passively, you can. But their have been reports that passive social media consumption is tied to negative mental health.

I should have communicated more clearly. Pseudonymous is fine, as long as it cannot be tied back to my real identity via tracing my IP address or whatever.

I think Tor with Tor Bridges (to obscure that you use Tor) is your best bet. Or using Tor over a VPN (using a VPN systemwide and then connect to Tor) Everything else is just standard opsec, not leaking personal information and so on Also, don’t use a E-Mail address or phone number tied to your real information, like your name or IP address. Because that is how many people got caught in the past.
