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 consumpt

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 leakin

The problem is that Reddit shadow bans new accounts that use TOR or any browsers that resist fingerprinting. I know because I tried recently.

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 platfo

Depends on how repressive. Often your main method of staying safe is appearing harmless. You can find dedicated Mastodon and lemmy hosts more receptive to VPN users. Anonymous use is hard due to stuff

Thank you, I will keep timing attacks in mind when making my posts. Writing style recognition is not a big problem since they won’t have any samples to compare my posts against.

Fair enough. I only tried lemmy.world. I will try .org and .zip to see if they work through TOR. That still leaves Reddit (unfortunately some communities I like are concentrated over there).

It’s not completely impossible. We still don’t know who Satoshi Nakamoto is, for example. I know instances will have to divulge logs if ordered, hence my bid to use TOR/VPN. If there is no way to do that, then I will think of some other way to communicate with people.

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.

Mastodon, Lemmy, Reddit and other social media platforms restrict users who connect through TOR or a VPN That’s not network-wide, each Lemmy/Mastadon instance can do their own thing in regards to Tor

Fair enough, I only tried the big instances. I will try lemmy.org as another user suggested. I had tried making a Reddit account through Mullvad recently, but it shadowbanned me. Same through TOR. Unfortunately some communities I want to participate in are concentrated over there.

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.
