Everyone in this comment section, you're just gonna take this? Its been time, but if this is what motivates you to throw bricks at politicians then lets go
They're too busy throwing bricks at Sam Altman's house ๐
If they were people of action, they wouldn't have Lemmy accounts.
Will giving my unwanted opinion about Linux help this dire situation?
Hahahahahahahaha
Can't hurt
Those violence inciting comments always read to me like "Hey, reply to me so you can be put on a watchlist"
Is there something that limits a person to a single lemmy account?
You know, to make that watchlist effective?
You access the Internet through a network owned by a corporation under the jurisdiction of a government, your ISP knows who you are and so your government knows who you are.
Both of our Lemmy instances are hosted by Hetzner, in Finland and Germany. Both instance's connections are proxied through Cloudflare, an American tech company.
Any one of these entities has the ability to track you to at least an ISP and potentially down to the nearest street intersection if you're using fiber/cable. And that ISP will have records linking your IP lease information to your identity, or at least the credit card/billing information that you provided.
The kind of people who would be putting you on a watchlist are not the kind of people who will be thrown off by simply changing usernames on social media.
Patience, probably.
Last I checked most of the instances had waiting lists and some sort of written answer application
squints at your username
Take an upvoter because you speak the true true.
Hit a nerve there lol
