yeah. my name seems to trigger "some" people. banning can be bypassed by whatever means available. the issue is that username wouldn't be tied to you which the police can just knock on the door which has happened more times i can count.

take for example matrix or discord. these services because of their non phone nature, it is very difficult for police to track down dissent. encryption is a fancy word when you are the only one using it.

i remember actively avoiding using tor back a decade ago because while it could be used to securely communicate online, i would have been the sore thumb.

mass adoption of encryption of all forms in all communications without leaving afk trails is the only way to keep internet safe from governmental control.
