@wire@anarchism.space @groovestomp I was using a fictional Russia as an example. In States, as we know, cops are very pedantic about having airtight cases, so you can use the USA as an example where signing your messages in public channels decreases privacy at no real gain.

That said, thank you for providing the context of how things really are in RU. It's sad... Kinda like arresting people for political anecdotes in 30s-50s.
