This is extremely dangerous for our democracy.

My office’s IT helpdesk guy had a similar comic in his office. 3 panels of a guy at his work computer miserable, and the last panel he’s at home on his own computer happy as a clam. So true

I was a redditor for 15 fucking years before they suspended all of my accounts after a mod permabanned me from /politics and I accidentally posted from another account weeks later.

I posted A LOT over those years, from a ton of various accounts. (One of my biggest fears was getting doxxed so I had a bunch of burners and accounts for specific niche interests and such.)

Just requested full data history for all ~10 of my accounts. Fuck reddit.

Only if you know no government has ever lasted forever, and think humans are capable of great evil. Even if not…it’s just best practices…think about targeted attacks, corporate espionage, vengeance, things like that.

Yeah it’s weird, 10+ years ago or so I feel like I had SO MUCH DATA and it was always an issue. Now I really don’t have anything. A few gigs of photos I guess, some various files, but that’s it. I guess I used to have a lot more media like movies and porn, which I don’t really need anymore.

If you ever get raided by the Feds they’ll probably raid your friends and family’s houses too so it is generally advisable to avoid using friends and family for offsite storage.
