Encrypt post text before posting. Choose an encryption key to encrypt your post with.
Be sure to remember this key, as it is the only way to decrypt and view the content again.
Only share this key with individuals you want to be able to decrypt your post.
Note that all encryption is performed locally, and no one will be able to recover the content if you lose this key.
Forward secrecy. Control and limit the amount of personal information you give away on the internet. Use more than one web browser to compartmentalize different activities from one another, use a separate computer just for legit business or private use, do not mix business with pleasure. All of this will help prevent you from being doxxed, and preventing third parties from being able to track everything you do online. Most importantly, ditch the smartphones already and stick to laptops. Always remember, if there is anything you do not want others to know about it is best to keep your mouth shut, never post anything about yourself on the internet you would not want others knowing. Forward secrecy is the best kind of secrecy.
