Even if Trump manages to win the presidency, it's clear that almost all of our systems have been compromised. Big Tech is the Democratic party and with AOC blatantly coming out asking for people to make a Trump supporter hit list. It won't be long until we start getting picked off one by one.
I'm not saying we're gonna be hunted down in the streets, at least not outside major leftist cities. But if you leave yourself out there it creates an opportunity for leftists to ruin your lives with relative ease. All it takes is for you to have a supervisor that's leftist for you to get fired, for a bank manager to be a leftist for your account to be closed just like they did with a lot of Proud Boys members, etc.
The left isn't hiding the fact that they're out for blood. The fact that Biden is going out of his way to say he wants to heal the divisions in the country is because even he knows what's coming. He's just trying to seem like he's trying to extend an olive branch so things don't spiral into civil war once people on the right realize they're getting purged.
Don't let yourself be a victim. Cover your tracks, use alt tech.
I already ditched most social media months ago, particularly those things that would be very easy for a normal person to connect to me. Facebook was all I had left and I've got the account still, but I never use it and there's nothing even close I've ever posted or liked to being damning.
I've been doing a lot of re-working of my network setup. This is more to prepare for aggressive censorship versus trying to hide from the man though. I want to be able to force some devices to the VPN at all times while allowing others free access to the Internet, etc. Things like that. All doable I just have to finish. I don't do this stuff everyday so it's a bit to learn to figure out.
I do want to find an e-mail alternative. I've had my own domain for years now that I use for e-mail but at the moment I just forward the different aliases it to free big tech email boxes. Years ago I operated some mail servers for clients, but I haven't been in that field since about 2008 and things have changed a ton so I'm not going to try something like that.
You're way ahead of the curve then.
I've only purged my social media accounts and use protonmail for email and run a VPN each time I do anything online that involves anything political or where my personal opinions might be expressed.
Other than that is beyond my technical expertise.
Yeah that's my main goal is just to separate general web-browsing and opinion forum from the rest of the world. I grew up on the Internet before social media so the whole concept of communicating with all my friends publically as myself with my real name has always seemed ridiculous. I do love forums like this though. Anywhere that free thought is shared respectfully and anonymously.
All my tech skills are super rusty. I used computers and tech to make money from about age 13 until I got through college. Then I totally quit so everything I know is stuck in about 2008.
