Do you happen to have a link about public data?

Not really, although I’m quite sure people have wrote about if you care to search. The “Fediverse” communities on many instances would be a place to ask. The underlying protocol is called ActivityPub, which would already give an insight into what is available to the broader network (which includes Mastodon and other services), but if you want to get down to it you can spin up a Lemmy instance and see what you get.

Votes specifically are even publicly visible on some Lemmy frontends, like Piefed and Mbin I think.

I’m just saying consider anything you post on Lemmy specifically or on the broader Fediverse in general part of the public record, for better or for worse.

P.S.: including DMs, they aren’t encrypted.

I’m not sure how to link directly to a subsection of Wikipedia.

Mouse over the link to the subsection in the sidebar, right-click, copy link location.

Not sure if there is a way to link to a specific paragraph though. Since you seem to be new to Lemmy you may want to take a look at this for formatting your posts: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/02-media.html

And since it seems you already had a post deleted, there is a modlog. You can reach it from the sidebar of any instance or community. So if you go to [email protected] then click the modlog link in the sidebar, and scroll down a bit you will see the reason your post was removed. You can then appeal that action to either the mods of that Europe community or the admins of the feddit.org instance.

As you seem to be American and inclined to research, here are a few keywords you may want to look up: Operational Security, Signal Intelligence, End-to-end-encryption. Be advised that up/downvotes as well as a lot of other metadata is essentially public on Lemmy, because it is available to every instance (you can host one yourself if you want to). Your government may be blind on four eyes right now, but there is still one remaining.

Also don’t get drawn in too deep into the reasons why any of these people do what they do. It’s interesting to the point of being too good to be true, I’ll admit that, but it is a distraction. Focus on organising yourself and the people around you. Good luck.

My account is too new to upload screenshots

Guessing you wanted to show something like this? Otherwise you might be able to post links at least, not sure what your instance does in terms of restrictions.

And yeah, it’s interesting that Trumps territorial threats seem to pretty much match this “vision” so far, with the exception of Gaza I guess.
