I don’t really use them, lately I thought if I want my voice/influence to be heard on a wider audience, I need to join the corporate social media platforms first.

my strategy is to slowly convert my followers to follow me on pleroma/mastodon by telling them if they want to see more/relevant posts, go to my fediverse account.

Instagram isn’t necessary but twitter and youtube is. I haven’t found a way to make an account privately. does anyone have any ideas? it would be really helpful

so the things I need

  • a vpn for twitter since it doesn’t work on tor
  • a phone number

edit; I tried 1984 and it asked for personal info for the domain. use njal.la instead.

    Your best bet is using the Tor Browser.

    • The Tor network effectively hides your IP from these services.
    • The Tor browser works hard to reduce fingerprinting options.
    • Blocking some trackers can also reduce the chance that one of them manages to identify you.

    But remember, you need to use the Tor Browser every time you log in. A single time that you login from your own IP and they will associate that IP with your account.
