My god, I just realized one of the simplest opsec things you can do (something I've been doing for years and don't even think about anymore) is set your browsers to open links in private/secure instances AS A DEFAULT.

If it needs to be opened in a window that you want to keep open or bookmark, you can always manually copy and paste it.

It makes no sense to be using a secure shared tool like cryptpad, if you're just gonna open it where you're logged in as you.

Remember the #SocialEngineering motto:
If there are people, there are security holes.

Some people here on NSFW Mastodon need to understand a few things:

1. You are not exempted from using Content Warnings with clear indications.
2. People looking for NSFW content are not necessarily looking for _your_ content.
3. They might even dislike it, or worse, it might even "turn them off" (or even worse than that).

So, when posting, please remember to use CW and clear tags. You will still retain your audience and the experience will remain fun for everybody.

Thanks!
