I sadly kinda need Reddit because it’s the only place where I can talk to other Turkish LGBTQ+ people, and I need my account to be anonymous because of the recent developments in Turkey, where the majority government is about to propose a bill that will literally make publicly identifying as LGBTQ illegal.
Any comment I make in my current account just shows up as [removed] and my account doesn’t even show up in redlib like it doesn’t even exist. Can’t send any DMs either, it just gives me a very vague error.
The way I first signed up was pretty suspicious tbh (Mullvad VPN + Browser and cock.li e-mail address). Is there a better way I could do this without sharing any PII?
The answer to this is the same answer to 80% of the issues that we face on the current tech landscape. It’s the answer most need but few want.
You have to circumvent the current monopolies and create your own space. It’s the answer to just about everything.
Almost the entirety of what the web is was originally built by enthusists who saw the tremendous benefit of people being able to communicate freely and privately.
Yes, it’s hard, and it takes time, and it takes exerting effort towards learning new skills, with a much lower turnout of participants.
But once it’s built, it’s yours. No longer do you have to bend to other systems, systems that have proven to be detrimental to a fair and open society.
Basically you have to take matters into your own hands and build the thing you want. Not try to work off the back of something already built that isn’t friendly to your desires.
Count those that won’t follow you as temporarily lost and move on without them.
And besides, no offense bro, even if there was a way to infiltrate Reddit, who would share it here? You could work or contract for Reddit looking for holes to plug or, even worse, the Turkish government.
