The goal is to increase the cost of mass surveillance to the point that they have to use targeted surveillance again. We don't throw our hands up and say it's all lost, we use what's available.

Precisely.
I disagree. Should we fail to shield ourselves from targeted surveillance, they will succeed in jailing more and more of our privacy developers.
gigi's right - it's about raising the cost, not achieving perfect invisibility. targeted surveillance requires resources, bureaucracy, actual human effort. mass surveillance makes everything effortless.
pseudonymity isn't a silver bullet but it forces them to work for it. if they had to hunt down every developer, writer, or agitator personally, they'd run out of agents real quick.
*Privacy by Principle*. give em as little as possible to work with, let em beg for breadcrumbs.

More folks should be doing #nostr reads on "how to duck outta surveillance" on different levels.
Casual ducking, pseudonymous dodging and black-hat level disappearance 🫥 - then let folks choose.
We need to make this a communal effort and wage a proper war on #DigitalID before we can say all is ""lost"".
Imagine if everyone encrypted all of their notes behind a 1 sat paywall with fanfares.io
Mass surveillance and AI theft would be destroyed 🫡
There happens to be a great audiobook on Fanfares about this topic: https://fanfares.io/naddr/naddr1qvzqqqr6dvpzpkmztemrw4pu5ltmuegztq6dkvv2p3ahtv8z848mncuj986m5ma8qyvhwumn8ghj7enpdenxzun9wvhxummnw3erztnrdaksqfrzv4jxgdeex5mz6eryxsuz6dp5vejz6cfc89sj6vfjxgekxv3sx5enwce4wf9qky
