I know that as leftists, participating in online communities requires a certain level of discretion. I'm admittedly not as privacy focused as I probably should be, but I would like to at least minimize the chances of being put on someone's list. Do I need a VPN every time I open this site or do I just need to be careful of what I post?

This always comes up and I'm staunchly in this camp rather than the super security groups. Besides the basic "don't doxx yourself" and "don't admit to crimes" stuff for every online community I don't think there's any special harm to participating over here. If people are big enough to be an issue to the authorities, they'll probably be noticeable enough irl or in other websites too.

But obviously use a VPN always (even out of here), specially if you're in that one country where corporations are very free in what they can do with your internet usage data. ProtonVPN is partially free and Nord is very cheap.
