Posting publicly online is really weird

[Hoppipolla]

Don't you think? At least now in 2025 when people often get in trouble for things they say online.

It does seem among the riskier methods of communication, even if many are scrutinised to some degree these days, depending on where you live.

In many places not only do they monitor private chats but they also have ways of monitoring IRL speech, by simply encouraging citizens to inform the authorities about people who say things that are politically incorrect.

I wonder how long this stuff will go on for.

I think there's a fair amount of scrutiny on RL speech too tbh.

There are lots of examples around it seems but this is just the video that got me thinking about this topic earlier:

I'm not worried about it but if I was a U.K.cel I probably wouldn't feel comfortable browsing here in public, or at all really.

Welcome in 1984 where thoughtcrime is punishable offence

Yeah it is. even without the thought police lurking it's strange to be so personal and yet so public.

Sadly I can envisage a nearby end. Maybe we should collectively arrange for an underground backup in case we get cancelled.

A lot but if you keep in contact with members in dms then you can just regroup

that's a fair point. We'd all be indirectly connected that way. I should probably get a Discord handle of a more active brocel tho.

that way @based_meme would get left behind tho

Yeah, I'm not using chinkord. If we don't get in contact away from this site, then it was blessed to have known you bros.

I could PM you one of my email addresses?

Sure, but please use a fresh one and don't have any kind of identifiers to any other online aliases you currently have and use.

I know of some case in Germany where a guy was interrogated by the police because he has posted a generic meme on twitter
