I mean, I probably wouldn't have be making so much comments criticizing the government if it weren't for the fact that I have citizenship. Probably wouldn't even dare to make a Lemmy account.

I’ve been self censoring since Facebook decided to allow the general population on their platform instead of just college students. Before that, it was just a fun way to connect with friends. Once they opened to everyone, I realized all that info was out there forever for anyone to see, parents, potential employers, love interests, the government, etc.
