Oh yeah I used both of those.

Reddit enhancement suite would do manual, single user tagging and the Masstagger browser add on would do… well, mass tagging.

I used it to show me when people I interacted with made more than 50 posts/comments in places like r/conservative or r/thedonald. It would also link you to the comments so you could see what they were saying there.

I found it helpful because there were times when I found people undermining concepts like cultural pluralism and participated in those subs. I knew where they were coming from and what they were trying to convince readers of (nothing good).

Several times it helped me effectively argue against white supremacists.

As long as comments are public, which I think is the point of sites like Reddit, lemmy, and kbin, those types of plugins and info will be available.


I don’t understand the concern though. I always assumed my votes, comments, or even PMs here were readable by at least the admins of the instance I’m a member of. The fact that votes and comments are public doesn’t seem to matter from a security or privacy standpoint.


I assumed as much seeing as it’s a public site ran by many different entities.

Similarly, I think Google can read my gmails.


I throw them all in Bitwarden which is protected with a long, unique password and a yubikey.


Primarily on site with NextCloud for getting to my important documents via mobile.

Backups are going to Wasabi via restic but if you want to do something a little more “live”, rclone mount with Wasabi also works well, even on Windows.

As always, I suggest encrypting before putting it anywhere but your own devices.


The fuck are you on about?

I use it at home and at work and for what it’s worth, I’m in the tech industry.

I don’t use it in mobile so I can’t speak to that but I doubt what you’re saying frankly.


What kind of privacy do you expect when the goal is to post something on a public forum?


  1. What part do I need to disconnect to stop the transmission of this data?

  2. Would #1 cause my car to have any issues in it’s day to day operations?
